Gay Oreo Inspires Internet Outrage

[neonsword13-ops]

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?"

 

[MetallicaRulez0]

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.

 

[Doneeee]

I could care less as to what Oreo's stance on homosexuality is (though I do respect them for it) I just really want that super stacked rainbow Oreo and god dammit I want it NAOW!

 

[FantomOmega]

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....

 

[Baneat]

As if we didn't already know that an oreo is representative of a gay, interracial threesome

True story.

BWAHAHA you nearly made me splurt cola all over my desk...

I'm going to the shop tomorrow to buy oreos (oh wait I'm really ill....MUM I WANT OREOS KAY? K!)

Don't get me started on "Double stuffed"

"Fill in" the blanks yourself (Both puns intended)

God that was awful.

Mads Fjord pointed out the inevitable counter-campaign boycott, telling his Facebook followers, "Hate [homosexuals] so much. So many whose skulls I want to smash in with a hammer. I thank those who support this boycott and GOD BLESS AMERICA."

What happened to 'love the sinner, hate the sin' and 'love thy neighbour' and all that fun stuff? Doesn't sound very Christian to me.

 

[minimacker]

I love Oreos but that looks a little gross, kinda glad they're not making that beast of a cookie.

I only eat my cookies if they remind me of an interracial sandwich, too. :3

 

[KeikakuKat]

I think the most scathing of those comments are just trolls pretending to be Christian in order to make Christians look bad.... er, look worse. At least I hope they are. I really don't have any problem with homosexuals. I still feel the need to apologize for how much of a homophobe I was a few years ago though. I was pretty stupid then.

 

[mysecondlife]

Gasp! Extra calories in America's favorite cookie! and I thought double stuffed oreo was pushing it.

Kidding. If they have those mint flavored rainbow color oreos, I'll buy em.

 

[drisky]

Kayla Odom Hill is funny. "Oreos are gay now, now they will never get into heaven. WHAT KIND OF HEAVEN DOESN'T HAVE OREOS!"

 

[Screamarie]

My first thought was "that looks delicious"... Also, good luck boycotting Oreos...

Second thought:
"Yet another liberal company destroying our religious values and teaching immorality" - yeah, the religious values that cause people to encourage people to kill themselves, and some to believe that an all-powerful, benign creator has something against homosexuals.... Going against that is certainly immoral, all right...

Yeah I find it funny whenever Christians feel that way. You know because it couldn't possibly be that they're not one of, if not THE largest, most well-known religion on the planet. And it's not like 90% of the people in the U.S. Goverment are some form of Christian. And it's not like Christians EVER bully legislation through that most of the rest of America disagrees with. Because everyone knows it's damn near a crime to believe in God in America these days.

Don't get me wrong, not all Christians are like that, I've grown up in a VERY Christian community, even was one my self for a time and most of the time they're accepting, kind people. But for a religion so large and so far reaching that only infants haven't heard of it in a country as large as the U.S.....you're not being shoved out of the spotlight no matter how many hysteronic arguements you want to throw out there. You're not being pushed out of the mainstream or having your religion taken away just because a few people disagree with you.

Spoiler: Like this:

FABULOOOOOUUUUUUS!

That made me laugh too much, made my day

 

[SuperSuperSuperGuy]

They're not selling them? Aww. I came here hoping that I could purchase a delicious rainbow snack sometime.

Let all of those homophobes do their stupid boycott! That just means there will be more layered cookies for me to eat!

As a side note, I haven't had mint Oreos in years and now I'm craving them. Dammit.

 

[RatRace123]

What the hell doesn't inspire internet outrage from these backwards thinking morons?

Oh well, if they're truly so devoted to their hatred that they will no longer allow themselves to eat an oreo, good. More for us non insane people.

Also I would totally a buy a pack of those rainbow oreos if they were ever made.

 

[Hawk eye1466]

Shame they aren't making that cookie it would save me time when I'm bored and I want to see how many oreo's I can fit together.

 

[aeric90]

I suppose the ultimate irony would be that if Oreo were ever to produce such a cookie for Pride Week no gay man would touch it. WAY too many carbs. Would ruin the whole Pre-Pride diet.

Seriously though, the support in the comments is awesome. Takes the power out of each one of those hateful comments and puts a smile on my face. Sometimes the internet gives me hope

 

[Sheo_Dagana]

Christianity used to have rituals to wed one man to another man, so the people that are waving their religion in other people's faces over something as stupid as this are even more ignorant than I had first perceived. But I don't hate them for it.

The Gay Rights Movement is similar to the Civil Rights Movement. The tide of coming change will see it turn out in a similar fashion. How about no hating anyone, regardless of sexual orientation, gender-identity, or preference of cookies?
