"The cynic in me insists that there's no small amount of savvy marketing at work in this campaign. After all, as evidenced by Ellen Degeneres, not to mention more than 175,000 (and growing) "likes" on Facebook, nothing gooses public support like a sliver of vicious backlash from homophobe morons on the internet. But at the same time, even if it is getting something out of it, how can anyone be critical of Oreo for standing up for a good cause?"
Why is it cynical? Why can't a company do both? Why can't a company both support a good cause and hope it increases product sales?
If only all profitable companies supported good causes this world would be a better place.

I was gonna say, this part would be the only justifiable reason to outrage at Oreo. To tempt us with that cookie... BLARGH!Andy Chalk said:

You are all insane for wanting to eat that. It's the fucking Godzilla of oreos!Issurru said:Do want! That cookie looks delicious and that it could kill someone if thrown at them
It fills me with rage that they defend this kind of stuff.Tanis said:
Gah, beat me to it. I was just about to ask why these people weren't already boycotting Kraft for their support of interracial unions. Good luck boycotting Kraft, by the way. You'd have to grow your own produce and raise your own livestock to be completely free of their products.Baneat said:
I feel sorry for the religious Americans that don't go around saying people need to die and burn forever in hell because of their sexual orientation (or other 'blasphemous' stances/acts), because these very vocal ignorant hateful people give the nice people such a bad reputation.
Please, this retards who are protesting are all herectics anyways. Seriously, go find me any bigot religious fundie fuckup and I can show you at least 3 ways they are going to hell, as sanctioned by their own Bible. It's really fucking funny if you can corner one of these idiots and turn the tables on them. They yell and scream and all you literally if you go by their Bible you can kill them for being sinners. They really love that part.
Religious nutcases, gotta love em.

(Face palm) ...I hate people sometimes. I really do. They don't want to eat Oreos anymore? Fine, more for me!
Hold up a moment... so... you're telling me... that... Oreo has the ability to make multiple colors of creme for their oreos and they AREN'T selling them? They so just lost my business.
OT: Companies can do as they please and support what they want. In most cases, they are not bound by religious practices or law (to an extent) when it comes to PR moments like this. People get mad about it, just makes those people look stupid for not realizing that and for the irrational hatred they spew out of their face-holes...
... Okay, so where's my damn rainbow cookie?

I thought this would be relevant:
Best. Oreo. Ever.
OT: Yeah, I saw that in my news feed yesterday. Thought it was odd seeing a rainbow oreo at first. But then I saw they were supporting gay rights. Then I thought, "Well, cool. Just where can I buy one?"

Oh conservative Christians... is there anything you don't hate?
Also, I'd eat the fuck out of a package of those 6-layer Oreos. I would annihilate the whole thing in 5 mins. Seriously. Make them. Take my money.

My mind does not comprehend how people can get angry at "cookies" because it have a rainbow in it? next thing you know they'll start boycotting Skittles, Fruit Loops and probably Lucky Charms....
