Cult Watch Title: Rainbow-colored Oreo a harbinger of more gay advertising (Queer company execs: "IN YOUR FACE!!" ) The rainbow-colored Oreo graphic unveiled for LGBT Pride month proves at least one thing: Gays are just as susceptible to clever marketing as straights. At long last! Equality under commercialization.
(FACEBOOK) - A screengrab from Oreo's Facebook page. On June 25th, the company posted a photo of a rainbow-colored cookie accompanied by the word “Pride.” Nevertheless, the graphic, like all advertising, plays on consumers’ emotions. A rainbow Oreo endears itself to the LGBT community and its straight allies. Inclusion of demographics breeds profusion of message. “We are excited to illustrate what is making history today in a fun and playful way,” says Basil T. Maglaris, associate director of corporate affairs for Kraft, in an e-mail that tows the company’s sunny line. “Kraft Foods has a proud history of celebrating diversity and inclusiveness. We feel the OREO ad is a fun reflection of our values. There has been a lot of buzz about the image, and it shows how relevant OREO is to people even after 100 years.” A cultural moment — galvanized politically by Barack Obama’s May endorsement of same-sex marriage — is being validated and exploited economically by big business over and over again. Earlier this month JCPenney, after enduring fringe criticism for enlisting Ellen DeGeneres as a spokeswoman in February, doubled down with a Father’s Day advertisment featuring two fathers and their children dressed in sensible shorts and bright-colored polo shirts. Last month Gap put two young gentlemen inside one snug gray T-shirt next to the words “Be One.” In March, Ben and Jerry’s released an ice cream pint called “Apple-y Ever After” whose container depicted a tuxedoed pair atop a rainbow-ribboned cake. What’s next (besides eternal hellfire)? Probably more gay advertising. The risk-reward equation for corporate advocacy has changed over time, says Bob Witeck, president of the District-based Witeck Communications, Inc., which specializes in the gay and lesbian consumer markets. What’s the worst thing that could happen to Kraft? A denouncement from a special-interest group like One Million Moms, which recommended boycotting JC Penney for its “sinful nature” (the company, undeterred and still solvent as of press time, retained DeGeneres as a spokeswoman). What’s the best thing? (snip)
The post on Oreo’s Facebook page encouraged a high-volume debate rife with misspellings, indignation and hysterical punctuation. One commenter: “this is absolutely disgusting!!! Vote with your dollar, I will NEVER buy anything Kraft Foods again.” Another: “Don’t worry about them people boycotting you Oreo - I never bought a single cookie from you and now I will.” Christians with no objection to same-sex marriage dunked the issue in Matthew 7 (“Judge not, that ye be not judged”). Christians opposing same-sex marriage cited Romans 1 (“Males committed indecent acts with males, and received within themselves the appropriate penalty for their perversion”). And cookie fiends were more concerned with what the graphic means for their dessert options: “So like are we actually getting rainbow Oreos?” The rainbow’s global status as a symbol of sexual equality comes in part from its embrace by corporations, says Gilbert Baker, the artist and vexillographer who created the rainbow flag in 1978. “It’s basically the same message as always: that our sexuality in all its colors is a human right,” says Baker, who lives in New York. “That’s why it fits us and endures. ... In the case of corporate appropriating — if they’re good to their employees and supportive of equal rights — that’s great because it sends the message farther out in the mainstream.” And his thoughts on the rainbow Oreo in particular? “I saw it,” Baker says. “Not sure I’d eat it.” This Oreo, though, is not actually for sale and, according to a fine-print disclaimer, is “made with creme colors that do not exist.” So LGBT-friendly Oreo enthusiasts will have to make do with the standard black-and-white version, despite its tacit endorsement of biracial marriage. Poster Comment: Gee...WHAT agenda?? QUEER AND IN YOUR FACE. An Oreo, their genitalia - it doesn't matter. What next? Cookies shaped like vaginas?? Hot dogs shaped like penises? (never-mind) Queers don't mind telling the world that they wield tremendous economic and political clout at the highest levels of industry, the academe, and goobermint. Is it ANY wonder the nation has devolved in ALL aspects of culture? Btw, check out some of the comments...and note the author's "racial" tinge of this story at the end.

#6. To: All (#0) And like all those without any valid refutation, the hysterically, indignant fruity author of this WaPo article whines on over minutiae like:
"The post on Oreo’s Facebook page encouraged a high-volume debate rife with misspellings, indignation and hysterical punctuation." And bully for him - he spelled "misspellings" correctly. AND "G-a-y" and "l-e-s-b-i-a-n".

These kinds of social statements in a competitive business world shall backfire spectacularly. People ARE taking notes...This is a LOSE-LOSE for 0buma and these established businesses (already in trouble without sabotaging their own companies).... Of course - as has has already been suggested - like the money-losing media shills, these companies (Kraft and JC Penney) may have been subsidized by 0buma's Ministry of Propaganda while receiving assurance that their competitors will be harassed and hassled. Case and point: The Gibson Guitar company. Team 0buma has already been a proven an extortionist, blackmail, treason op. NOTHING is beyond their area of Scorched Earth. Btw, when do Ben & Jerry's create 'Yu-klown & Fire Island Hairy-Azz' ice cream?
#8. To: Liberator (#0) Fag marketing is nothing new:
Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president #9. To: Liberator, nativist nationalist, calcon (#3) (Edited) The rainbow-colored Oreo may end up being Yukon's second most favorite taste. CT freaks!!!! LOLAYDA!!!! I don't even like Oreos, dishonorable assholes!!! What's the matter with you nutless cowards? Do you take pride in being dunces? Why are you so incredibly stupid? Neither of you three assclowns are capable of thinking, are you luberator? LOLAYDAS!!!!! You have no integrity, character, honor or conscience. You are a useless POS! You and your posse of nutless cowards and dishonorable assholes are incoherent and stupid,LOLAYDA!!! < / yukon > "if you're not cop, you're little people" #10. To: Deckard, nativist nationalist, calcon (#9) Bwaahaa!! I give that impression of the Gay Canary an 11 on a scale of 1-10.
#11. To: Liberator (#0) Yeah, my sis sent me the article. Looks like we will start buying the HEB store brand cookies instead. HEB is a supermarket chain based in Texas and owned by good Baptists. Better to give them my money. As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. -Proverbs 27:17 (NKJV) #12. To: no gnu taxes, all (#8) You know - it was an absolute disgrace and disgusting that THAT Quiznos advertisement ever made it to air. Now that 0buma came flying out of his closet and was proclaimed "First Gay President" by Time Mag, the Homos in Charge of advertising (backed by 0buma's perv-friendly admin and party) are emboldened to exhibit their genitals all over the print and airwaves - especially TO kids. The challenge will be the extent of blow-back from straight America who is SICK of their "In-Your-Face" crap and demands of "respect" for a purely fictional term of "Queer Marriage".

Kraft products? JC Penney? The Gap? Subaru? That can all pound salt. Kraft product are quite extensive: * A1 Steak Sauce
* Cheese Nips
* Country Time (powdered drink mix) H-M * Honey Maid
* Kraft BBQ Sauce
* Maxwell House (coffee) * Nilla
* Pure Kraft Salad Dressings * Ritz
* Teddy Grahams

Yukon gave about as much thought to how the letter "Y" in his favorite acronym could be used as easily as "Yukon" as "You." He gave that one about as much thought as which url he was linking last year. And every so often you need to spam a thread with comments how you "DGAS" ad infinitum to the point where most of the comments on the thread are Yukon proclaiming his total lack of interest in the thread. ----------------------------------------------------------- Spamming LP, his monkey smacked With no Goldi there to redact Too distracted to be thinking Which url he was linking So now Yukon claims "I wuz hacked!" #18.

How LP survives his 24/7 lunacy and mockery of the entire forum is a mystery...oh wait - it isn't: Yu-klown, the Plagiarist Gat, and "Admiral" ACLU Blackmailer bought out Goldi and Liberty Post. THAT how and why yu-klown craters it with impunity.
#22. To: Liberator (#13) Don't forget Homo depot. Lowes is just down the street and gets all my business now. If Lowes does not stock it, I order it and pay a bit extra and I tell them why.

I did forget Homo Depot...I forgot why I go to Lowes all the time, but that could be the reason. What's the reaction when you give them the reason?
#26. To: Liberator (#24) I. Do you mean you don't believe that a restaurant would make such a thing, or that yukon would fly all the way to Taiwan to sample these concoctions? LOL "if you're not cop, you're little people" #27. To: Deckard (#26) Do you mean you don't believe that a restaurant would make such a thing... HEH!! The obvious: BOTH!
#28. To: Liberator (#25) What's the reaction when you give them the reason? I live in Texas, so it goes without question. I do get thanked for my business.

#34. To: calcon, CZ82 (#31) ROFL
#35. To: Deckard (#23) I just found out that after reading about some of the restaurants in Taiwan, yukon immediately booked a flight from Simpleton, Alaska to Taipei.

I heard that when Gatlin dies Yukon is planning on taking his ashes from the crematorium, mixing the ashes with Tabasco sauce, horseradish and hot peppers, and drinking it all down. That was Gatlin can fire up Yukon's rear one last time. ----------------------------------------------------------- Spamming LP, his monkey smacked With no Goldi there to redact Too distracted to be thinking Which url he was linking So now Yukon claims "I wuz hacked!" #37.

http://www.debito.org/chibikurosanbo.html That penis ice cream cone disgusts you, but do you feel the same way about the cultural insensitivity to racism the Japanese love of 'Little black Sambo' in their merchandising? ![]() #38. To: nativist nationalist (#36) That was Gatlin can fire up Yukon's rear one last time. now that's funny but so true
#39. To: Ferret Mike (#37) (Edited) That penis ice cream cone disgusts you, but do you feel the same way about the cultural insensitivity to racism the Japanese love of 'Little black Sambo' in their merchandising? Actually, the penis ice cream cone excites luberator, not disgusts him. And, no, he has made his racist views towards black people plainly obvious while posting with Jethro over at the 4dum so those sambo things won't bother him at all. . #40. To: calcon, Liberator (#38) I'm hearing reports that Gatlin drowned up in Alaska. Seems he was found bobbing on the Yukon. ----------------------------------------------------------- Spamming LP, his monkey smacked With no Goldi there to redact Too distracted to be thinking Which url he was linking So now Yukon claims "I wuz hacked!" #41. To: Ferret Mike, *Liberal Rehab Staff* (#37) They have similar stuff in Mexico, and on progressive Bush chimp sites. In the cases of Japan and Mexico it signifies a free and open society not hung up on nanny state political correctness. The bush chimp sites demonstrate progressive nanny statist hypocrisy. They somehow figure that bigotry is OK, as long as it's whitey, and not one of their sacred cow "minorities"... gays, blacks, injuns, dry-foot Cubans, and others with gov mandated special privileges. Some animals are more equal than others, to you neo-progressive libtards descended from apes. You've got the Boosh neo-libtard chimp gene!
