gopher321: Geez. How uptight can people get?

This is the US; where you can't say "Jesus" or "God-damn" on prime-time television, but you can say "biatch". That really tells you everything you need to know about our priorities.

I haven't been able to find it around here, and that makes me sad :(

I want to get some Schweddy Balls.

I too want to get my hands on some Schweddy Balls and try it, in my mouth. Mmmm... salty.

Geez. How uptight can people get?

This is post-9/11 America. I don't think there's a limit.

You can't? I guess I never noticed. God damnit. I use it all the time at work.

1) Find a store that sells Schweddy Balls
2) Shop there exclusively.

How hard is this?

Huh. That takes balls to name your product "balls" only to have your balls yanked....off the shelf. Balls.

Put my schweddy balls in your mouth.

gopher321: Geez. How uptight can people get?

It's not abot how uptight people can get, but how much respect for themselves and others they have.

I've always dug BNJ's as a company, pretty much up until the announcement of this flavor. But the again, I don't see the humor in giving something a dirty name for no reason. Maybe because I'm an adult...?

Jesus, how does such an annoying voice get a job doing the news for CBS. Seriously he has no articulation and sounds nasal, like he's pinching his nose closed. I get it's the internet, but for real, CBS? Did you snag that kid from a high school AV club?

Oh, and "1 million moms?" Go fark yourself.

KellyLockhart: The problem is is that it tastes horrible. Seriously.

I thought it was alright..

So the company is buckling under the pressure of a few yentas?? I don't want to live on this planet anymore...

KellyLockhart: The problem is is that it tastes horrible. Seriously.

Who was this being marketed to?

KellyLockhart: The problem is is that it tastes horrible. Seriously.

Truth in advertising.

There's a group called "One Million Moms"?

OK, that's like The American Hyperbole Foundation.

I mean, how could you actually have a million moms behind you? If you have 2 million, or only have 500 million, do you have to change the name?

Because if someone writes down some crazy on a letterhead with "This is the voice of One Million Moms", it's implying that this is like a complaint petition with a million signatures behind it. I think it would be REALLY hard to get that many people to complain a Schweddy Balls. And frankly I don't care what any of these twits would complain about, regardless of number.

Oh good, it wasn't just me. "Balls" is not pronounced "Baws" dammit!

Next they'll be upset about Betty White's huge Dusty Muffin.

There wouldn't even be one million moms without schweddy balls.

Thomas Crapper laughs at how uptight people are now a days.

I saw Alec Baldwin on SNL last night (re-run, I think) and he also mentioned Schweddy Balls several times. That's all I know about that, i fell asleep.

Oh, also he looks really good now. His new girlfriend is a miracle worker.

It's an SNL sketch, for those that don't know. 'cause it seems like some of you don't.

gopher321: Geez. How uptight can people get?

I ordered some through Whole Foods last night. They'll get a shipment in next week and they'll call me when to pick it up.

Someone should put up a Schweddy Balls Locator the same way the McRib Locator was set up.

Smartasses that enjoy tweaking the noses of uptight prudes.

B&J's is owned by the Unilever Megaconglomerate now and this most likely what happens you let MBAs make marketing decisions without adult supervision.

"Hey! Let's name a flavor of our great ice cream after sweat-soaked male genitalia!"

/What sort of morons would do that? Future congressmen?
//What's next? "Gooey Vagina"?
///wtf, just wtf.

grumpyguru: But the again, I don't see the humor in giving something a dirty name for no reason. Maybe because I'm an adult...?

Maybe it's because you lack a functioning sense of humor?

The guy who filed that report must have a Fark handle. I'm surprised he kept so much of the amusement out of his voice.

We're talking about an ice cream flavor here.

Dear Ben and Jerry,

Can you make a flavor taste like real pussy galore and put it on store shelves?

Cool. Thx.

Ps Once a month you can run a ribbon of cherry or strawberry in it.

Christ on a daily basis I am offended by lots of things and people but I just dont give a shiat just ignore it if ya can and go on with your life. Are peoples lives so freaking lame they need to take it out on ice cream ffs. Jeeez go teach the blind how to yoddle or clean up a park something useful

I noticed something similar today with another Ben and Jerry's flavor. One of their newer flavors, "Clusterfluff," has apparently been changed to "What a Cluster." I have no doubt that some uptight, won't-someone-think-of-the-children a-hole complained about the original name, and rather than stand up for their employees and their product, B+J's pussed out and probably gave the complainer a year's supply of Vanilla (and/or Unflavored, Nonfat Ice Milk), since that's how things work in this country now.

HotIgneous Intruder:

I'd eat it.

yagottabefarkinkiddinme: Dear Ben and Jerry,

Can you make a flavor taste like real pussy galore?

They already did that. I tried a cone full, and thought it tasted like shiat. The guy behind the counter told me not to take such big licks.

I heard Ben & Jerry's is making a new flavor for these boycotters. It's called "Go Fudge Yourself."

Or that you can show a graphic rape and/or murder as long as a nipple doesn't pop out.

That sketch was funny the first time. It was funny the first time I heard Ben and Jerry's was making the flavor and seeing the sketch again brought back memories. Now... let's just move on, please.

Found a pint of Schweddy Balls here at a Bashas in Phoenix.. bought it just because the Mothers against Having a Sense of Humor are against it..

Truthfully, stuff kinda sucks, there are much better flavors, it's kinda like a rum raisin, but the rum flavor isn't strong enough.

Only MBAs could watch SNL and think it would be cute to name an ice cream flavor "as seen in a sketch." Maybe one of them farking one of the writers on the show? A giant marketing in-joke? Publicity tie-in? Crass eastern elitists who did it just because they could? Sorry, but the name is just grotesque in a food context.
Do not want.

/What sort of idiot would think SNL is that popular?
//That show hasn't been funny since about 1985.
