The Streisand Effect will ensure that this is Ben & Jerry's best selling new flavor in years.

We should have more stuff like this! Maybe it'd distract the assholes from attacking stuff that matters.

That flavor actually sounds good. I haven't said that for Ben & Jerry's in a long time. Too long.

two points worth repeating:
(1) One Million Moms is false advertising - the core organization actually consists of 17 Republican fund-raisers, of which only 3 are mothers and the rest motherfuckers.
(2) The target demographics of One Million Moms and Ben and Jerry's are a Venn Diagram with no overlap. Like the audiences of Jersey Shore and Doctor Who.

If they succeed in getting it pulled from grocers' shelves, someone can run the headline ONE MILLION MOMS LICK SCHWEDDY BALLS.

And it wants members to threaten a boycott if the company doesn't do what they want.


Yeah, right. Good luck with that. Ben and Jerry's ice cream is more addictive than crack. I give any attempted boycott about two days before they break down and run to the store for more.

Speaking of which... I'll be right back.

E. are really disappointed that B&J has to reach back to a 1998 SNL skit to be creative.

Brilliant!

The more One Million Moms and the types who listen to them focus on stupid crap like this, the more they aren't telling people they can't get married or volunteering for those who do the same. And free advertising for Ben and Jerry's. Win/win as far as I'm concerned.

Also, thanks to this, I think I'm going to start reading One Million Moms action alerts just to do the opposite. Though I'm not going to go to bat for NBC's The Playboy Club. I'm all for the dramatization of bunnies*, but after given their rights to show what they want, NBC should stop choosing bad writing.

* Not (originally) intended to be some sort of newbie double entendre made by a MetaChat (sort of) to get in with the cool kids

One Million Morons.

... yeah, this just tipped me over from "I might try this flavor" to "I WILL BE BUYING THIS."

There is way too much silliness in this world and not enough we seem to be able to do about it. At least for me.

I went to the B&J site and found the store locator for this flavor. I may actually take a road-trip just to by a few pints.

I can't stand rum nor malt balls, so I'm going to pass.

The flavor doesn't sound great to me, brujita--I agree with you.
But I want to buy some anyway to show support for silliness.
