That ought to be entertaining.

I've been seeing a lot of Allstate ads coming out in support of gay rights, too. Mostly as posters at bus stops, but it's still something. Get an online quote, and they'll donate to some gay rights group who's name escapes me ATM. Suppose they'll be boycotted next?
Her3tik, you have groupies.

There are a number of ways, though my favourite is simply to take them by surprise. They're just walking down the street, minding their own business when suddenly, WHACK! Penis to the face.

OK, while I think that people getting riled up of companies supporting gay rights is a bit silly, am I the only one who wishes that Nabisco actually made the multicolored Oreos, with different flavors of filling?

Seriously, the first thing I thought when I saw that picture was "damn, I wonder if I could buy these and eat them for dessert."

Eh, I don't know if they'd do them in different flavors.  My bet if they DO come out with something like this, it'd just be the white frosting with food coloring added.

Well, that would be disappointing.

Still though, Nabisco makes Peanut Butter Double-Stuf Oreos, which fucking rule.  How could anyone boycott this?

As with the boycott against Girl Scout cookies, I encourage others to support this boycott. Leaves more cookies for me.

They need to boycott Microsoft AND Apple. No computer for you!
They can still use Linux.

I would like to see people that daft try.
Which is why I suggested it.

A cookie? They want to boycott a cookie?
I am an old man, and I've seen many problems, most of which never happened.

So, we've got Kraft, Kellogg's, General Mills, Coke, PepsiCo, and I assume Nestle and Unilever.  So basically, for these people to boycott "gay-friendly" companies, they're stuck eating generic brands.  Nothing wrong with generic brands, as a poor college student, I'll still use them sometimes, I'd just rather drink Coke compared to Sam's Choice(although Black Cherry is awesome).

Good luck with your little boycott idiots, you'll probably go against it at your next meal.

Yeah, I've heard that a lot of the generic food is, essentially, the official brand stuff but repackaged, right down to coming from the same factories.  Not all, but most.

So, if that's true... they're screwed! :lolface:

I don't know how true that is.  You have to look at the label.  Usually if something is manufactured by a major company for a retailer, it will say so on the label.  Many supermarkets do own their own private-label brands, or have longstanding contracts/arrangements with lower-profile food producers.

At any rate, my family has been buying store-brand stuff for years, and most of the time, it's at least as good in quality as the higher-priced brand name stuff.  It's a good way to save money.   8)

There is a factory not to far from my college(relatively speaking) that produces garbage bags for hefty and Great Value(Wal-Mart's brand).  There might be a few differences, but the product is pretty much the same, and the differences don't matter(Wal-Mart's seem a little on the small side).  When it comes to food, I think your right though.  Most companies care about their recipe and won't let it be branded as something else.  If a store/private label does use food from another company, there will be a label of said second company somewhere clearly visible.  Store label brands do tend to be pretty good in quality.  Target has the best private label IMO, although Wal-Marts private label can be a little inconsistent when it comes to food quality(still worth the price though).

If the fundies would just boycott all food, this thing would just work itself out.  But yeah, I bought a package of Oreos specifically for this reason.
