It seems that good old graham crackers have become the latest target of conservative fury.

Here is the TV advert that has got them so angry.



facebook reaction
Honey Maid graham crackers features homosexual couples, redefines "wholesome?" I am so done with this brand ... which stinks, because they're really good. I am even more done with the constant onslaught from the Gay Propaganda Machine.

You have to wonder how much more of this the Lord will allow before judgment comes upon our nation.......

Thanks for the "heads up", will happily change my shopping list. The onslaught is relentless, isn't it? Graham crackers, and we have to view this confusion (unnatural marriage) over what a family is?

Well, at least I'll lose some weight giving up girl scout cookies AND graham crackers. LoL.

Yeah, conservatives also hate the Girl Scouts and are currently leading a boycott of their cookies. Who knew Girl Scouts were just liberal propaganda?

Speaking of boycotts, you better believe there is one for Honey Maid graham crackers.

Nabisco should be ashamed of themselves for their latest Honey Maid and Teddy Graham cracker commercial where they attempt to normalize sin. Right away it shows two men with a baby, followed by other families, and ends with different families pictured including the one with two dads. This commercial not only promotes homosexuality, but then calls the scene in the advertisement wholesome. The ad states, "Everyday wholesome snacks for every wholesome family. This is wholesome."

I don't think they were homosexual, just two brothers raising their orphan cousins and making the best of the tragic loss of other family members.

Patriotic American men, recently returned from serving their country in Afghanistan and struggling to start their own business. All this while declining any form of welfare or government support. If they were homosexuals, they'd be wearing dresses or something. Plus, you wouldn't put gays in a commercial about something wholesome.






:D

I was trying to save money, but I guess a box of graham crackers won't hurt.

Must be nice, to find that openly favoring human rights increases sales revenue.
 
I'll believe them when I see an ad featuring a Teddy Bear graham powertopping the Brawny paper towel guy.

Have you actually looked at Teddy Grahams? There are two shapes. In one the bear is cruciform, legs together, arms spread. The other is a bear with its arms by its sides and its legs spread. Clearly the consumer is meant to assume these represent halves of sexual congress, and is intended to pair off the bears and imitate tiny little bear voices exclaimining in passion, and that is why I'm discouraged from eating Teddy Grahams at my desk at work. Also it turns out it's praying mantises, not bears, that bite off each other's heads after sex.
 
And what of the interracial couples? The single father? There is protest fodder for weeks.
 
Y'know, if we play this right, we can make sure the Religious Right/Teabaggers/Allaroundbigots can never watch TV, drink Coke, drive cars, and ultimately starve. Keep up the good work, everyone!
 
Well, they can still eat Chik-fil-A and Barilla pasta, so they probably won't starve. Just die early from an unhealthy diet.

Who'da thunk design engineering could be so fractious? I hope the guy who designed these was paying attention in his martial arts for designers class.

You have to wonder how this reasoning makes any sense to believers.

So lifelong devout Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus and atheists, who just happen to be American citizens get punished because a graham cracker TV commercial back in 2014 offended god, the creator of the universe?
 
After watching the video I am of the opinion that this commercial was specifically designed to create such a reaction. Starting with the presumably gay couple, a several beat closeup of the interracial handhold, and ending on the overly-tattooed presumably single father.

To which I say, good for them. I support most things piss those kind of morons off.
 
boys on cots, boys on cots, dum dee dum... :boxedin:

going out to buy some Honey Maid graham crackers today...
 
But graham crackers are the only things that keep me from masturbating all the time!
The graham cracker was originally conceived of as a health food as part of the Graham Diet, a regimen to suppress what he considered unhealthy carnal urges, the source of many maladies according to Graham. Reverend Graham would often lecture on "self-abuse" as masturbation was commonly called at the time.

My long ago last meal at a Chik-fil-a leads me to suspect the deaths to be very early. Barilla, not so much,,,,,,,,,
