Gay Oreo Inspires Internet Outrage

[RoyalWelsh]

Because Not the nine o'clock news is hilariously awesome.


OT: They are bloody Oroes...no reason at all to get upset over...

 

[zombiesinc]

I'm glad to see more open support from big companies in regards to the LGBT community. Although this sort of reaction is to be expected, it doesn't make it any less pathetic. I think that's where I'm going to force myself to stop 'cause I could rant just as much as they have and I don't see the point in wasting time on such hypocritical, simple-minded individuals.
[small]Whoops, I ranted a little...[/small]

Also, there's way too much creme to enjoy that cookie! Not even a glass of milk could fix that. =/

 

[Kinguendo]

I shall take this moment to dispense to you the recipe for the best Oreo containing treat ever (aside from plain oreo and milk obviously).

Get one 9x13 cooking pan (US units)
Get a ton of chocolate chip cookie dough (2 of those premade cookie dough rolls should do)
One box of Oreos (You will use most of the box, no snacking!)
one bowl of brownie batter (really any kind will do)

Spread the cookie dough on the bottom of the pan and cover the dough with the Oreo. Like I said before, most of the box will fit in there. Pour the brownie batter on top, evenly coating the cookies. Bake at 450 degrees fahrenheit for 30 to 45 minutes. The brownie batter should be cooked on the outside but still liquid inside (Like a chocolate syrup).

Serve hot or cold. Either is delicious, cold is just less of a mess since the temperature drop causes the brownie goo to congeal.

You forgot the final step; Lose a foot to diabetes.

Actually the last step is: Eat very small portions and limit yourself to at most 2 a day.

That is very responsible... BOOOOO!

Oh goody, time to put on my favorite hat.

*puts on tinfoil hat*

See, see I was right!! First it started with cereal going all rainbowy and shit to supposedly market themselves to kids. Though I think we're all in agreement that the real reason is that really they're just trying to desensitize our kids to that awful gay pride flag. *spits* It's an affront to the lizard shadow government that runs this great country.

Then there was the creation of Skittles. Oh don't think I'm not on to you Skittles. "Taste the rainbow," more like "Taste our brainwashing food coloring." By running a marketing campaign that causes both people and children to associate the rainbow with their satanic candy instead of the factual tale of how Noah saved the world when Xenu melted the polar ice caps by inventing the rainbow defense system that remains in place to this very day. The inspiration of which was given to him by the lord almighty. Though it's starting to weaken since it is powered by the sacred love aura given off by the holy union of man and woman. Which is being sabotaged by the gays.

Yes friends, the gays are evil agents of Xenu sent here to destroy the rainbow shield which has kept him from laying waste to our young 4,000 year old earth. Now they have sunk their villainous claws into the once righteous Oreo. Our allies grow few in this hopeless battle, but we will win. We will defend the earth so that our lizard overlords may continue to benevolently rule us from the shadows.

So condemn this multicolored symbol of oppression, and send the message that we were already conquered by a space faring civilization and that we are very happy under their rule. Open your eyes people, with the rise of the gays comes the fall of all life on the planet!!.

*removes tin foil hat*

So sayeth the Legion of Mad Fellows.

that was comedy gold!

 

[Ledan]

Mwahahhah! Now i can buy an exta bag of oreos and tell myself it's to support companies supporting homosexual equality. More oreos for me

 

[GameMaNiAC]

I don't exactly hate gay people.

But I do hate it when they rub it in my face like this. Y'know. The fact that they are gay.

Please leave cookies in the neutral territory. Thanks.

 

[sethisjimmy]

I think it was a nice move on Oreo's part. They knew that not everyone would be happy, yet they showed support anyway. Good to see some courage there.

On the other hand, like a lot of people, the thing I have outrage about is the fact that that isn't a real fucking cookie.

Like come on, that thing looks goddamn delicious.

TONS OF REPLIES BELOW PLUS MY POST AT THE BOTTOM, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

People who boycott a cookie company for religious beliefs are probably not entirely sane anyway.

Also, I'd so buy this rainbow Oreo if they ever made it.

Anyone who believes so strongly to boycott things for religious reasons are probably not sane either.

When I first saw it, I thought that they were releasing a new cookie that had 6 multi-color layers of cream. Man, the disappointment I felt when they

1. Aren't actually selling the cookie.

2. Are apparently sharing messages of peace and getting boycotted and chewed out because of it.

I mean, dear God, its A FREAKING FACEBOOK PICTURE. It's not like they're teaching "it's okay to be gay" classes at the YMCA, you ignorant morons. I can't believe people will make such a big deal when a company says that everyone regardless of sexuality should have a happy life.

Do people even READ the Bible before they start screaming out prepared verses about the "sins" and "abominations" that are gay people apparently. Doesn't anyone remember "love your neighbor"? No? Well, crap.

Actually had a nice argument with a redditor the other day who was a bigoted christian [his words exactly] and was apparently 'cured' of being gay, I put that in quotes because thats impossible. Anyways, he told me flat out that he doesn't need to read the bible because he believes the church will never lie to him about the teachings of Jesus.

To bad they do though.

"our religious values and teaching immorality"

Like:
Slavery,
Rapist being forced to marry his victim,
Ethic cleansing (aka genocide),
Pride and jealousy,
The mass murder of children,
Bigotry,
Abandonment of family,
Slaughtering animals to cure disease (like leprosy can be cured via killing two pigeon),
Anti-progress, science, and reason.

Huh...you know?
Maybe we SHOULD start destroying such things.
Might make us more civilized.

I, for one, support our bigot creator and his asshole son. /sarcasm.

Yeah, the bible is old and the fact that not many people notice how full of shit its message is still surprises me.

I don't exactly hate gay people.

But I do hate it when they rub it in my face like this. Y'know. The fact that they are gay.

I don't know, when I'm able to marry another man then we'll talk about whos shoving what in who's faces. Hell, I can't turn onto the TV without seeing a pair of hetereosexuals kissing. When I can turn it on and see gay men kissing we can talk, cool?

By the same thing, E3 assumes everyone who plays games are straight males, and not females or homosexual males. Y NO BOOTH DUDEZ E3?

Yet another reason why I wonder if the world is better off without Christianity.

NOW the world would be better off without any religion, but back in the old days we would need it for things like schools, orphanages and I believe hospitals but I may be wrong. Also, all that art wouldn't exist.

Still though, religions were cool back in the day, now their just supporting people who want to PUT ME IN A FUCKING ELETRIC FENCE FOR MY WHOLE FUCKING LIFE AND WATCH ME WITHER AND GOD DAMN DIE RIGHT NEXT TO A BUNCH OF OTHER GAYS AND LESBIANS! FUCK YOU PASTORS, YOU DICKS! *Pant, pant, pant... I'm sorry, I got out of hand there, but seriously fuck religious pastors for both lying about the teachings of jesus / god to wash people's minds and secondly for being bigots.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll poke my dick into where ever I like or whoever will poke it into to me whenever they like. So, you know, fuck you haters of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, gender-queer, pansexual and asexuals.

Yes, the boycotts against them are stupid and hateful. But, that there I think is the most important part about this: THEY HAVE AN OREO WITH SIX LAYERS OF CREAM, AND NOT SELLING IT.

Seriously, they could call it the "Ultimate-Stuffed Oreo" or something. It would be amazing.

On a more serious note, I just cannot personally grasp the animosity towards a goddamned cookie, especially if its message is of... Well, love and tolerance.

...And copious amounts of cream-filling. I mean, who doesn't appreciate love, tolerance, and cream filling?!

 

[geK0]

I didn't realize people cared so much about the political views of the people who make their snack foods; it just boggles my mind that something like this can be controversial!
It would be like if I stopped eating Chinese food because I don't want to support anyone who supports a communist country, or if I refused to drink fanta because it was originally made for nazis....

MY LAST POST ON THIS THREAD, GIANT AMOUNT OF REPLIES BELOW!

Ugh, really? The only problem I have is how in your face people are about this on both sides of the spectrum. (Ha, I made a color joke there.) The people against homosexuality are ridiculously violent and over-the-top about it and the people that are for it are trying to shove it down peoples throats like... well like a rainbow colored oreo.

I probably shouldn't have to say this as many times as I have to, but when I'm allowed to marry another man in all 51 states, see homosexuals and lesbians in the stars with George Clooney and what have you with things like coming-out being mute because it becomes a sense of normality, then I shall put down the rainbow colored flag and stop saying this following sentence: I am not allowed equal rights as others and I find it appalling that I can be fired from my job for being gay, without being able to sue the company in certain states, not able to marry another man or adopt a child because I'm a unfit parent on the basis of me being gay, not be yelled at how I'm going to spend the afterlife in forever torment and finally being targeted violently and verbally for being gay, then I shall stop shoving it down people's throats but till then I shall carry this rainbow-colored-metaphorical-flag with me.

*eats chocolate oreo pie while reading article*
Does this mean I'm gonna have to suck cocks now?

Anybody can suck dick, but you can't choose if you get off to it or not.

Well shit, I love fanta. I have the strangest feeling now to rape all male jews to death. Could someone please exorcise this soda-pop demon from me?

1. They are not showing support for gays. They just want to show, that they are a good company, that supports everyone, etc.=>more income;
2. Gays do not need support and protection, at least of this kind. The less "protection" and "support" campaigns and "gay pride" parades there is, the lesser ammount of provoked conservatives there is, which leads to decrease of ammount of homosexuals, who died from head trauma.

Obviously the less you talk about wanting equal rights, the more likely it is the opposition will give it to you out of the kindness of their giant heart!

Or not...

Captcha: Easy as cake.

Even the captcha getting in on this.

I am not saying that there should not be ANY kind of protection. Protection by law is more then needed. BUT! If you will continue provoking rednecks with parades, where two guys wear skimpy outfits and hug each other, then those legal acts will simply have no effect. I am not saying that there should not be any talking about equal rights and I really do believe that every human being should be treated equaly no matter the gender, religious believes, etc. (exept for nazies, fascists and agressive morons, obviously), but going overboard is also unnecesary and, most of the time, hurtful.
IMHO, the best way to do it is to include gay characters in TV-series, movies, etc. But they should not act like "Hiiiiii!! ^_^ You know sugar, this purse is simply fabulous". Rather, they should be more like comedian (sorry, forgot his name) from "V for Vendetta" movie.

I've been reading up on the Stonewall Incident a bit and from what I gather, it was common for people such as cops to raid gay bars. The problem with the idea of "Just don't do anything to stop it and stop provoking them" is that it essentially leaves the people who just stopped doing anything defenseless and able to lose rights.

To put it simply, do you think blacks would have the rights they have now if they did not fight for them? Likewise would women have these rights if they didn't fight for them? Theres a reason why we need to fight and the specific reason is the exact same reasons blacks had to fight and women had to. In a sense, I can be fired from certain companies for being gay and its totally legal. I am not allowed to marry my partner who me and him will be happy yet two straight people who despise one another can marry. I am portrayed as a child molester to some and as a unfit parent because I might rape my child if they have a dick but I'm not given a chance to prove them wrong.

Also, your stereotyping of gays in the above post makes me slightly angry, not that I am putting this into my post [I hope i'm not] but not all gays are fucking feminine girls who carry around god damn purses, neither are we slutty people in damn thongs. Hell one of the pridefest I saw had exactly one person in a G-String, exactly one and everyone else was fully clothed like a standard person.

Its unconstitutional to deny your citizens rights over things like gender, race, religion and sexuality. This is one of those times to where its necessary to fight.

 

[zarix2311]

*sigh* Why do people have to ***** about stupid things? (said the man who was ironically bitching over a stupid thing)
Personally I'm not a big fan of OREOs, but I'm really glad to see that they are supportive and open minded to peoples preferences. I'm not gay or a fan of the cookie itself, so I can't really say that the rainbow colored OREO has any effect on me, but I don't think there's a reason to get upset over this. It just feels really childish.

 

[Sandytimeman]

the best part, their using facebook to do it. And facebook...supports gay rights!

 

[Zyxx]

(totally the first to make this joke)
I'm super pissed at Oreo now. How could they do this? They put up a display of an eight-layer rainbow Oreo and they're not even selling them for real? What is this world coming to?

 

[Strain42]

...Honestly, this just makes me want to go get some Oreos. Oreos are great with milk.

I think I'll run up to the store and get some tomorrow.

 

[Zeckt]

I'm only upset that gays ruined rainbows I wish we could see a picture of a rainbow and not automatically think of it as a symbolism of being gay.

 

[Wolfheart]

Everything sends you to hell... Someone just better make this oreo and bring some with them!

 

[CrazyDave DC]

Man, I seriously want that cookie now!

 

[Strazdas]

What i saw is that they are pride to present a tasty multicolor cookie. then i read the article. Well, "american conservatives", that pretty much sums up all of their reactions. i mean i dont want to get banned on here and all.
