Let the double-stuff jokes fly!

I assume the cookie will be fudge-packed. Ba-doom-do-chish.

I think we can assume what the chocolate represents. Hate to think about what it's made of, though. Surprised it's not covered in white sugar frosting.

I'm waiting on Golden Oreo to be re-named "whitey pride Oreo", consisting of vanilla cookies with white cream filing.

Next, they can release the diversity package, with all the different flavors in one pack, which all look different but taste exactly the same.

Remember the days when you could buy a product and NOT have someone's political/social dogma stuff down your throat? Good times. Now even your food preaches to you.

I take it back, it fits perfectly - just like "gay marriage", I'm told to like Oreos, but I still find it difficult to swallow.

Admittedly this is not an actual product, but it is an Oreo ad campaign. All this does is confirm my hypothesis - all this "public gay love" by various groups, companies, etc. is all bandwagon b.s., a fad to capitalize on $$$. It's what's "cool" at the moment. Kinda like companies releasing Obama-themed products in 2008. Now all of that shiat is in the 99 cent bin or the trash.

It's the opposite of good business sense - you want to have your product exposed to and bought by as many customers as possible, and you don't do that by associating it with a divisive issue that alienates a large group of people, even if it gets you attention in the short term. So what are you really selling - a cookie or a political/social agenda? If I don't buy your agenda, I don't buy your cookie.

What's a more divisive topic right now to use, how about a "pro-choice" Oreo with the cream sucked out?

Hey, Bloomberg, isn't sugar bad for you? Why associate this "evil" product with the righteous LGBT movement?

Jamespoon: From the Oreo facebook page:

"Oreo sparked a frenzied debate by supporting gay pride on Facebook with this picture. The caption said "Proudly support love!" The response among Oreo's 26.9 million fans has been fiercely divided, with many commenting that they planned to stop purchasing Oreos. Those people are dopes. And quitters. We say kudos to Oreos for taking a stand. And yes, we approve of their message. Do you approve of their message?"

Why does a cookie have a message? Why do I have to approve of it? Why not just make a cookie that we eat and not have to "agree" with?

Typically brainless. An Oreo wasn't designed to push desegregation or biracial marriage. It was just a COOKIE. Made back when you could make a product for sale without a "message" behind it.

So Fudge Stripes were made to gain support for incarcerated felons' right to vote? What other products can we superimpose our views on?

Good one. Kinda hoped for a Monty Python "Witch" screengrab, but it will do.

This kind of shiat is exactly why the country is so fractured politically/socially - you can't avoid the politicization. It's EVERYWHERE, seeping into every damn thing. TV, movies, school, products, news weather, etc. Now whether you buy an Oreo or not is a farking battlefield. I mean, LGBT whine about religion pushing itself in their faces, well the same applies to them - for a "private act" between adults that's "none of my business", I sure as hell have it pushed in face at every turn.

/Can I freely choose salt over pepper at the dinner table or am I gonna get blackjacked by a New Black Panther?

Last I knew, Oreos are not kosher either. They have the Martian Manhunter demographic sewn up though.

SaltyDonnie: I mean, LGBT whine about religion pushing itself in their faces, well the same applies to them - for a "private act" between adults that's "none of my business", I sure as hell have it pushed in face at every turn.

You're right. We apologize for being so "in your face." We really should just keep quiet, sit back, and realize how lucky we are to have what little equal rights we have. Also, inter-racial couples can be couples, but they shouldn't be so "in your face" by holding hands or - God forbid - kissing each other in a public place. Keep that stuff private. Those gay 14-year-olds that are being bullied in school would be fine if they weren't so "in your face" about it. Clearly it's their own faults.

Glad you cleared that up.

There are a number of fundie bigots at my office. Think I'll buy a package of Oreos on the way in this morning and make it a point to offer one to each of them who visit my office, just for the lulz.

I won't go out of my way to poke them, but if THEY come to ME, then oh well...

I know these people are jerks, but it really bums me out sometimes when I consider all the horrible things people think about me and other gays.

Found this little gem on the Oreo comment thread in question:

enough of this pro gay trash.. this is as horrible as the black agenda, and the illegal agenda..and people wonder why America has turned to crap.. NO GAY RIGHTS ! not on my watch..One nation under God..period..

Pretty farking creepy.

As a practicing Orthodox Christian I just want to say...I'm ok with this, and will be having some oreos tonight.

Good lawd what a whine-fest. Have an issue, here's a tissue. Way to read a whole lot in something that wasn't written there. You must be a judge.

Wasn't the whole winning argument behind legalization homosexuality based on it being a private act, and no one's business? Why do I and the rest of the planet HAVE to know that "you" take it in the bum? Is it really that central to your being?

What was a private sexual practice has become an whole personal identity, desperate for protected class status ala race. Just imagine the problems making "sexual orientation" a protected class would bring. Let me tell ya, race and orientation are two entirely different classifications, with very little in common.

Tell me, how can I or any straight be "flamboyantly heterosexual"? I am more than my heterosexuality, and I have no problem with gays holding hands in public. But why must it be accompanied with a banner, parade, streamers and confetti? Why do I have to give a thumbs up or sing a hymn in it's praise? Why be so desperate for "my" approval?

A good old bland message of peace which applied to all except total war mongers. And last I checked, it didn't work out too goodly or goodish, as we still be killin'.

Be careful of the new rule you push, cause it may be used to your disapproval. The political message you spin is A-OK so long as YOU approve of it. What is Crayola issues a package of crayons to kids filled with white crayons called KKKrayola? Bet ya got an issue with that political spin. And would favor a boycott in that case?

Or we could just make cookies and crayons and leave the politics to the ballot box.

Brilliant example of "diversity" - a bunch of cookies with different colors that all taste the same, organized just so by will of the packager. Describes it perfectly.

Hopefully they make one with different tastes, too. For real diversity.

Do you just not get it? Nobody wants "your" approval. They want the same rights as you and anyone else.

Again, you think the proper way to handle it is sit to the side and just hope something happens. That's not how change the world happens. You might think things are great the way they are, but just trying putting yourself in someone else's shoes for once. Your attitude just flat-out reeks of "well, my life is alright, so what are these damn gays whining about?"

Those gays that you call so flamboyant are just being who they are - no different than if you walked around talking about monster trucks while wearing sleeveless band t-shirt while at a football game, or whatever stereotype one could associate with being straight. Difference is nobody gets shot, or bullied in school, or pushed to suicide for being too straight.

Your argument is almost as ignorant and shallow as "The Bible says it's bad so it should be illegal!"

Are you under the impression that Bloomberg runs Kraft? Not sure what's so "divisive", here. People who think the mere acknowledgement that gay people exist is a "political statement", are thankfully pretty rare. But if you are truly that pathetic and bigoted, I can only feel sorry for you. It must be difficult boycotting Nabisco, Kraft, General Mills, Starbucks, Target, JcPenny, Apple, and hundreds of other companies who dare to make the "political statement" that gay people exist and are equal to everyone else.

king_nacho: apoptotic: SaltyDonnie: Just imagine the problems making "sexual orientation" a protected class would bring.

Oh please, do tell. Regale us with stories of how civilization will crumble.

Difficulty: sexual orientation has been a protected class in Canada for years.

I have a problem with the phrase "protected class". Are different groups of people endangered? Should the government setup reserves for protected classes? People are people with rights, humanity is the protected class, singling groups out and giving them what is perceived as special treatment is wrong.

If we are created equal, then there should have to be laws that say one group is equal.

I'm not thrilled with the term class either, but I can't really think of anything that would be any better. Demographic, maybe? I have no problem with the term protected. The problem is that the people that tend to should the loudest that we are all created equal are the ones who don't actually believe it, and as a result the law has to step in to protect some groups from those who believe that things like allowing those groups equal access to housing, employment, and basic (equal) civil rights are "special treatment".

should = shout

Sometimes my fingers type what they're used to typing rather than what I intend them to type.

moonscatter: It is really nice to be able to say I support a company rather than have to explain why I am boycotting them (Walmart, Chic Fil A, Lowe's...)

They are empty calories, but my kids are getting some Oreo's this week! And since we're only allowed to bring pre-packaged foods for parties and snacks at school, it is now all oreos all the time!

I haven't gotten food from a Chic Fil A for a few years now because of their position. Oh well.

In case this is a serious question: Pride Parades got started when gay people were near-universally loathed and told to be ashamed. After Stonewall, gay people decided enough was enough and that they were going to let the world know they were not ashamed, aka "proud" to be gay. Nowadays, it is just more of a celebration and an honoring of those who came before. At least in the West. In Russia just this year, gay people broke the law and held their first pride parade, and were beaten soundly by the police, which is how it was here 40 years ago. Straight people don't have straight pride parades because no one ever told them they ought to be ashamed. And if you're looking for "flamboyantly heterosexual" behavior, look no further than Mardi Grass or a frat party or a strip club or just a popular bar in a college town. There are plenty of banners and streamers to be found, toi

These threads are getting repetitive and tiresome.

OMG. There's a group of people on this planet who don't approve of another group of people!!!

Get over it already.
