Oreo Pride: Rainbow-Stuffed Cookie Sparks Boycott

[Liberal_in_LA]

Oreo posted the photoshopped picture of an Oreo cookie stuffed with rainbow-colored layers of frosting Monday evening with the caption “Proudly support love!”

Over the past 17 hours more than 157,000 people have “liked” the image, 40,000 people have shared it and 20,000 have commented on it.

But while many of the comments were supportive, some Facebook users pledged to boycott the cookie because of the post.

“I’ll never buy Oreo again,” one commenter wrote.

“Disgusted with oreos,” wrote another. “Being gay is an abmonitation in GOd’s eyes i wont be buying them anymore.”

1. I'm sure their boycott will have little effect on the world's most

popular cookie (and 100 years old this year).

3. More for the rest of us.

Haters won't have any left to eat but cauliflower. Sucks to be them.

5. "Being gay is anabominationn in GOd’s eyes" I think there's something else...

...in the bible about stoning everybody if they do one of 50 billions things wrong.
Let me look it up...Oh yeah, "Thou shall not eat the fruit of the Gay cookie".... especially if you're stoned"

6. Let them eat Hydrox n/t

15. Ha...thanks for the chuckle. (n/t)

7. Are they boycotting God because God put a rainbow in the sky? n/t

8. Oh just FUCK OFF, homophobes!

PACK IT IN bastards, and grow the fuck up already. Women love women, men love men, fuck off, move into 2012. Nobody cares but you, and you're mistaken to think that their human rights are yours to give them.

These SOBs are an abomination in MY eyes . . . Christians who doesn't fucking ACT the part.

9. If God hates gays,

why is there a rainbow after thunderstorms when the sun comes out? Someone's confused, I think.

10. Never much cared for sugary shortening...

But I think I'll buy a few bags for the ol' co-workers

11. Okay, let's do the numbers here...

Over the past 17 hours more than 157,000 people have “liked” the image, 40,000 people have shared it and 20,000 have commented on it.

But while many of the comments were supportive, some Facebook users pledged to boycott the cookie because of the post.

I'm not a FaceBook user but I would say 157,000 "likes" in 17 hours is pretty impressive. But, in order to create the perception of "controversy," the store-bought media has to bring up the arguments of the conservatives, so let's say half of the 20,000 comments are negative. That would be 10,000, and that would be generous to the negative contributors, ("But while many of the comments were supportive, some Facebook users pledged to boycott...&quot

The ratio of "likes" to "negative" comments? "157,000 to 10,000," or "15.7 to 1." But hey, store-bought media have to be constantly pushing the GOP-talking points!

12. If you eat one you'll catch Teh Gay.

13. I'm gonna have to buy some Oreos.

I don't really eat them, but if I put them in the break room at work they'll be gone in 20 minutes.

14. I'm sure the Million Bored Moms will be all over this...

or are they still on summer vacation?
