[JI7]

[TxDemChem]

20. Doubly awesome!

[Jefferson23]

4. That's capitalism, lol.

[Skittles]

5. nice

[Warren DeMontague]

6. I don't get it. Are the Penne supposed to be men, and the bowties women?

Good Christ then what is a Fusili?

[Drahthaardogs]

15. Farfalle = butterflies (not bowties), so probably lesbian would be my guess

Fusilli is a Calabrese pasta. I suspect it might be a Ndrangheta thing...

[LiberalElite]

26. My 2 cents -

the vertical bowties resemble dresses.

[Warren DeMontague]

36. This is why I flunked out of Pasta College.

[Gore1FL]

54. I was busy getting sauced. n/t

[Warren DeMontague]

57. Damn!

Well done!

[lunasun]

[alsame]

7. ROFL, very clever!

Well done, Bertolli

[awoke_in_2003]

51. Very good to see more doing this. nt

[phantom power]

9. I wonder if Guido feels like it was emotionally worth it to get his bigot freak on

cuz it sure isn't helping his company's bottom line

[Enrique]

10. i know what he's thinking now

"uh oh spaghettio"

[pinboy3niner]

29. *SNORT*

Nice one, Enrique! ETA (in case they come back soon): DUzy!

[Voice for Peace]

48. DUZY

lolol

[KamaAina]

11. Rainbow pasta!

But how would we get blue and purple? Eggplant? Squid ink?

[Tien1985]

12. Bwahahaha

I like the pasta industry.

"Look, our competitor screwed up! Quick open Paint and put arms and legs on some noodles!"

I may try this brand for the laugh alone

[Tarheel_Dem]

13. That's pretty good. I just heard a chef on NPR's "The World" say she'll dump Bertolli in support of

her LGBT friends and family. Apparently, she's a foodie who only used Bertolli when she didn't make her own. She also named a Bertolli competitor, and swore by it's quality. I'll bet Guido & his stockholders are wishing he hadn't weighed in on this one.

[Lucinda]

14. ? Is she dumping Barilla or Bertolli?

[Curmudgeoness]

16. I am sure that she is dumping Barilla. Bertolli is the good guys.

Damn, I hate when two companies are so close in names and I have to remember which one to boycott!

Boycott Barilla. Boycott Barilla. Boycott Barilla.

They say if you say something three times, you will remember.

[Tarheel_Dem]

22. You're both right!

: I'm still at work, and it's been a LLLLLOOOOONNNNNGGGGGG week! Sorry.

[Curmudgeoness]

27. Tell me about it!

I know that 4:00 could not get here fast enough for me today. I live for the weekend---wishing my life away.

Just don't want anyone buying the wrong pasta.

[Gore1FL]

55. Don't feel bad...

When I saw the Berlusconi article on the front page today, the first thing that popped into my head was pasta. LOL

[hootinholler]

31. Barilla the Gorilla

Bertolli the gorilla doesn't rhyme.

[Curmudgeoness]

33. Thanks....that really will help.

I will not forget it now.

[hootinholler]

34. I had the same damn problem

I thought this was an attempt to mend fences at first.

[bunnies]

41. Me too!

I was like... WTF?! Ohhhhhhhhh!

[sarge43]

44. Barilla the Godzilla works too. That's how I remember it (when I use to buy it) n/t

[TygrBright]

17. I liked George Takei's take: "Barilla's making a new pasta: Bigotoni" n/t

[deurbano]

19. LOL!

[TxDemChem]

21. Gotta love Takei!

My husband is giggling at that one.

[Tx4obama]

25. Bigotoi photo...

[Rowdyboy]

39. Damn I love me some George Takei....He's so quick and spot-on

You go boy!

[DeSwiss]

59. Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!

[deurbano]

18. Love it!

[Tx4obama]

23. Here's one from: Buitoni

[Tx4obama]

24. And here's one from Garofalo

[Curmudgeoness]

28. LOL. That is great!

"We don't care who you do it with"....

[sheshe2]

32. The important thing is you do it Al Dente~

Love it! Thanks Tx~

[merrily]

53. Good. That is my favorite store bought pasta (so far). I'd hate to have to give it up.

[hootinholler]

30. I remember the pasta war of '13

[Eleanors38]

35. Who knew the Pasta business was that fast? For some reason

I've been eating Bertolli along.

[tblue]

38. I never would've caught this on my own.

Haha! It's adorable! Did you watch the ad on that linked page?

[BlancheSplanchnik]

40. awwww! cute little shell doggie too!!

They'll need a bag to pick up the orzos!

[progressoid]

42. What about fusilli?

[judesedit]

43. Barilla blew it. Bigots majorly suck. Equality for all. I'm going with Bertolli. It's yummy, too.

[Zorra]

45. Thanks. I'll be buying Bertolli products, exclusively, for my Italian dishes from now on. nt

[tblue37]

46. Very cute and clever ad! nt

[KoKo]

47. Recommend!

[Divine Discontent]

49. brilliant advertising!

way to make ten million bucks overnight, Bertolli!

[sarge43]

50. I can't figure Barilla and bigots like him

What is it about GLBT money that makes them go out of their way to ensure they won't get anymore?

Is it specially marked, doesn't have as much purchasing power, banks won't accept it, doesn't earn as much interest, what?

If you're in business to make money, why turn any away?

Or does being a bigot eventually turn your brains to pie filling? That's has to be it.

[DeSwiss]

60. It's actually quite simple:

- Bigotry = Stupidity

[awoke_in_2003]

52. Very cool, I love their sauce...

but always grabbed Barilla pasta. I will be looking for Bertollis- or anything but Barilla.

[DeSwiss]

58. I smell retraction in the air.....

- K&R!!!
