Gay Oreo Inspires Internet Outrage

[The Consequence]

I tell ya' the REAL problem is gays tryin' take our rainbow! Why!? Cause they know there's gold at the end of it. That's how they make their money! Next thing you know they'll be taking skittles (and I love me some skittles) and makin' it all gay and stuff. That's where the REAL fight is, the rainbow. God made the rainbow for men and women to enjoy, not gays. Think about it people. What's gon happen to cartoons, HD movies, computer wall papers! If they take all the color. Hell, now that I think about it, Escapist has lots of colors round 'ere. They'll knock us all back to black and white (ya know like an oreo) in no time at all, If we don't start talking about the REAL issues here people. PLEASE!!

Forget M&M's; throw that thing off the Empire State Building it would kill a fucking whale.

[Blatherscythe]

I want that god-damn Oreo...

As for the original post, good on them for supporting gay pride in the face of religious homophobes.

You know what i'm going to boycott Kraft about this. Not because i'm a homophobe heck no but it's supposed to be a rainbow oreo and the rainbow has seven colors and they missed one. It's not that hard just remember Richard (red) Of ( orange) York (yellow) Gave (green) a Battle(blue) In(indigo) Vain(violet) or ROYGBIV if you'd sooner think of it that way. So I ask you Kraft ltd. tell me WHY NO VIOLET.
ps. yes I know the gay pride flag only has six but screw it i'm makng a stand and i'm going to boycott them next.

 

[Innegativeion]

The haters choose to never eat Oreo's again? GOOD! More for me!

I think it is great that Oreo and Kraft are going this.

And I want that giant rainbow Oreo. Looks delicious.

God works in mysterious ways.

You hate gays? No more oreos for you. Justice.

Frankly I'd love to see the son of one of these "one million moms".
"SON, ARE YOU EATING OREO?! NOOO, IT'S MADE FROM THE DEVIL. Have some weed instead."

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.

You know there's the whole being able to normally reproduce thing... which is kind of huge
And again, I'm principally for equal rights for anyone, but there are two options as to what "gay" is:

a) It's behavioral and developed over time, in which case it is a socio-economic thing influenced by early years, learning process and environment/parents etc. in which case people can either ?become? gay or straight and it could be prevented by better understanding of what leads to this behavioral change, there are other sexual tendencies like this: http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/adf0b17f0d/people-sexually-attracted-to-inanimate-objects and they are still considered ?weird?.
Whatever floats your boat, but maybe try NOT propagating through every media channel available and while dancing through the streets how ?awesome? your sexual preference is and how everyone has to love you for it, and that for everyone.

b) People usually don?t like the first option, in which case It can only be a genetic thing/being born that way, in which case it is just an abnormality like any other (e.g. not the norm).
There is all sorts of abnormalities, people being born with skin conditions, extra limbs, frail bones, having low tolerance for water or sun, bodily/mentally challenged etc.
Yet again, everyone should be treated with respect and should have equal rights, and be able to live a normal life, but despite all that you can?t overcome feeling sorry for some people inside.
I know if it was me and my kids and if I might drift into eugenics and with gene manipulation a reality, I?d like for them to be immune to sicknesses, in perfect health, not be prone to obesity and also in other ways being ?normal? (which also includes both bodily and mentally being able to procreate)
And people can talk about equality and tolerance all day long, but given a hypothetical choice between functional sexuality or not I?d always pick the first.

Fun fact, we also try and give equal rights to people who have 'abnormalities' like skin colour variations. While completely unintentional, your argument for Eugenics also implies you'd attempt to whiten up a half-black baby so it's 'normal'. Of course, you're now going to refute this but that is exactly how it comes across, to me anyway, admittedly I might be over sensitive but that one hits close to home. Can't speak for everyone but I know people with mental or physical 'abnormalities' who just live life, I damn sure don't feel sorry for them because that's not treating them equally it's treating them as inferior.

If you want to breed and make kids, fine, I know plenty of heterosexual people who use contraceptives so I guess that means we aren't functional sexually either.

Also, this was just off the top of my head http://uk.reuters.com/article/2009/03/31/uk-eu-homophobia-idUKTRE52U1OD20090331 this is why they still need to 'shove it down your throat' because there are OTHER people who would beat the shit out of them for loving someone of the same gender. So hey, if you want to avoid Pride parades could always go to Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Poland or Romania.

Reporting on facebook comments? C'mon Escapist. That's not news. Every time something of even remote controversy pops up on a popular social network like facebook comments on it are going to be full of ridiculous polarizing statements. That doesn't make it news.

Yeah it's sad, but its exactly what we expect.

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

 

[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. =/

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.

 

[Aprilgold]

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

Spoiler

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.

Please leave cookies in the neutral territory. Thanks.

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.

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

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?!
