They're baaack.
Mike Melgaard, wizard behind the Target Trolling of 2015 has gotten a new job. Back in August when Target announced that it was no longer selling toys in gendered sections, Melgaard posed as a customer service representative to respond to outraged homophobic and transphobic commenters.

Doritos announced yesterday that they will be rolling out rainbow-colored chips in support of Pride and to encourage donations to the It Gets Better Project.

What assholes, right? Well, clearly some people think so. Take, for example, Jeni, who curiously disparages Facebook as well ... on Facebook.

Then some confusion about which junk food products would be banned.

This guy is awesome. If you didn't see his trolling the Target site, you should take a look. Link in story.

2. The reply to Peter Schultz should have gone like this:

Peter - We don't know how this horrible add was placed in your feed. We'll get right on it.

Then, 10 minutes later:

Peter. We found the culprit. It seems your add feeds are based on your browser history. On September 15, 2015, someone at your keyboard googled "hot man on man sex videos", and on September 16, 2015, they googled "well hung stud on stud action". We suggest you find out who's using your computer while you're in the kitchen getting Doritos!

I know - it's wrong to accuse homophobes of being closeted, but this situation just screams for it.

3. Do your chips contain MSG?

4. OMG! The comment about the Doritos shaped like a cross is wicked

"Unfortunately the ends of the crosses tend to break off in the bag and you are left with a phallic representation of a Dorito."
