Gay Oreo Inspires Internet Outrage

Gay Oreo Inspires Internet Outrage

Some of the negative comments claim to be frustrated by the politicization of the cookies, but most are a bit more straight-up anti-gay, like that of Janis Petron, who wrote, "You gay people make me sick, God made us to be man and women not gay or lesbian p.s. NO MORE OREOS." Or Cody Patterson, who said, "I can't support a business that supports gays." Aaron Foster described Oreo parent company Kraft as "Yet another liberal company destroying our religious values and teaching immorality," while Trevor Day pasted himself in the face with the Frying Pan of Unintentional Irony by stating, "Gays can all go kill them selves they are sinners and will burn in hell" while rocking a Neil Patrick Harris avatar. Mads Fjord pointed out the inevitable counter-campaign boycott, telling his Facebook followers, "Hate [homosexuals] so much. So many whose skulls I want to smash in with a hammer. I thank those who support this boycott and GOD BLESS AMERICA."

And yes, there is apparently some form of boycott going on, although the actual level of organization looks iffy at best - hardly a surprise to anyone who's seen the One Million Moms in action. Kraft, for its part, is unfazed, issuing a statement reiterating its support for gay rights. [Note: Of course, the so-called "One Million Moms" is about 100,000 members of the American Family Association...rounded up to the nearest million...and couldn't organize a lemonade stand...But their faux-outrage is duly noted...]

"In recognition of Pride Month, Oreo created an ad depicting the Rainbow flag with different colors of Oreo crème. We are excited to illustrate what is making history today in a fun and playful way," the company said in a statement. "As a company, Kraft Foods has a proud history of celebrating diversity and inclusiveness. We feel the Oreo ad is a fun reflection of our values. "

The Rebuttal:

The Colbert Report coverage of this outrageous issue!

It is way too much frosting. But then again, I don't even like Double Stuff Oreo's.

I am sure Michele Obama hates it too, way too many calories and sugar.

I will never eat another Oreo in my life; Marriage is not about Adam and Steve or Eve and Angie.

I made sure to buy a couple of extra packages today... I wanted them to "feel the love"... I got an extra one just in case you forgot...

I got mine today, but I get the chocolate filled. I more one dimensional.

I found some strawberry-filled ones...and some that had one chocolate/one-vanilla cookie and white filling. I guess if I can find the green ones with the mint filling I can start building my own... :woo hoo:

I think I saw the green ones at Kings. Better get back on the road.

I friggin hate those vile disgusting Oreo cookies of all kinds. Always have, yechh. But I don't really like cookies anyway, especially computer ones.

Yep, I can do the soft Pepperidge farm Macadamia nut or Chocolate chips once in awhile. Homemade are best though. Those mass produced generic cookies are for the birds!
