Breitbart CEO Larry Solov declares "WAR" on Frosted Flakes and Fruit Loops. I sh*t you not.

[Miles Archer]

Breitbart and some of its right-wing audience are now declaring a war on advertisers who are dropping the site. The site’s CEO Larry Solov said, “We’ll handle this the way we always do — war.”

Solov added, “What you’re seeing is Kellogg’s and others buying into a false, left-wing narrative that our 45 million readers are deplorables … Our readers are mainstream America and, frankly, that’s who these advertisers risk alienating. They’re creating economic censorship of conservative discourse. They say we don’t represent their values — but we represent American values.”

At least one blogger seemed to agree with Solov’s assessment. John Hinderaker wrote for PowerLineBlog.com that Frosted Flakes should be boycotted — much like Hamilton and Starbucks.

He added, “A final observation: most cereal like Frosted Flakes and Fruit Loops is consumed by children. Who has more children, liberals or conservatives? Right. Kellogg might want to start looking for a new CEO.”

2. Hey Larry! You're not entitled to sponsors!

[txwhitedove]

3. Note to self: buy Frosted Flakes, Fruitloops, and Starbucks!

[Iggo]

4. Cute little Nazi, ain't he?

[Renew Deal]

5. They should ask Putin for the money

[Solly Mack]

6. They've gone from being the (self-described) voice of the so-called anti-establishment "alt right"

- you know, pouty racists who think themselves hip - to now claiming those same readers are really just mainstream Americans, whose racism represents American values.


Before Trump - on the outside

After Trump - mainstream

It's a self-defining moment of transition (for them) worth noting.

[neeksgeek]

7. Cue Homer Simpson's voice.

Mmmm.... Froot Loops.

[eShirl]

8. "Who has more children, liberals or conservatives?"

He really should think about that one.

[C_U_L8R]

9. Why Kellogg's??

I've been trying to figure out what possible brand connection there is between Kellogg's and Breibart's dumbass audience. It sure ain't SmartStart. Must be the Fruit Loops

[niyad]

23. I cannot figure out why it took kellogg's so long to pull its advertising from that disgusting site.

or, why it was even there in the first place.

[NightWatcher]

10. What about the Free Market, you ted nugent looking fuckstick?

Note to self. Buy Fruit Loops

[niyad]

24. the free market only applies when it suits them, not when others use it against them

[WhiteTara]

11. I called Kellogg's corporate office

1 [phone]

and told them I would search out their products. THey are getting a lot of push back from the deplorables and could use some positive reinforcements.

[MissB]

12. Is he pointing out what I think he's pointing out in that photo?

[Miles Archer]

14. I got it from Google Images...

...the article didn't have a photo of him, and I wanted to include one. The original source was Twitter and the caption was:

"“@brandondarby: Breitbart CEO Larry Solov laughing at the massive, impenetrable border fence in Arizona. pic.twitter.com/WBfcaEpa9E” @greta"

13. Who has more children's cavities: liberals or conservatives?

Who has more childhood obesity?

[ToxMarz]

15. I'm really a die hard Cheerios fan for cereal

But I checked the list to see what I also liked from Kellogs. More Mini Wheats and All bran on my shopping list.

[radical noodle]

16. Rice Krispies are high on my list of favorites

[TygrBright]

17. Some Kellogg's Products I'll be adding to my shopping...

I already rely on Kashi 7-Grain puffed original, which is one of the few 'no added sugar' cereals available.

But UN-frosted Mini-Wheats are going into my cart, also- again, no added sugar.

And low-sugar options Rice Krispies and All-Bran buds will be a nice change-up from time to time.

Many thanks, BTW, to the cheerful Kellogg's product rep who checked her list for me and discussed which items have what sugar content. She was happy to hear some good feedback on their Breitbart ad pull.

appreciatively,
Bright

18. Damn it and I just put up the Top 10!

[hamsterjill]

19. The threats are going to get very old very fast.

"“A final observation: most cereal like Frosted Flakes and Fruit Loops is consumed by children. Who has more children, liberals or conservatives? Right. Kellogg might want to start looking for a new CEO.”

Yeah, what Republican voter with a screaming child at 6:00 a.m., said child demanding his/her Fruit Loops, is going to boycott? The fact that conservatives have more children just means that there are going to be more children in households to whine when conservative parents take away Little Junior's favorite cereal.

[Miles Archer]

20. My girlfriend's son has a four year old daughter...

...she mellowed out considerably when she hit age 4, but her "terrible twos" lasted a full two years. One thing that has not changed is that she has a "regimen" in which she expects certain foods / treats throughout the day, like apple juice. And she does love Fruit Loops, too. When they visit, they bring all of her things with them, because if she goes "apple juice time" and there is no apple juice, all hell breaks loose.

[hamsterjill]

21. Yes, and I firmly believe that is the way it is in most households!!!

My daughter is now 33, but when she was that age, she would have wreaked havoc if she didn't get her Fruit Loops!

Breitbart's attempts to vilify Kelloggg may be stymied by 4-year olds!!!! LOL

[ProfessorGAC]

22. He Does Realize, I Hope. . .

. . .that those 45 million people he's talking about all don't read his pathetic website, right? The number of people who read it, if they all supported the silly boycott wouldn't amount to a truck load of cereal headed to one supermarket.

[colsohlibgal]

25. Thanks Larry!

I have always loved Frosted Flakes but have stayed away as an adult because of all the sugar in it.

But now.....I am in, I'll buy 2 boxes the next time at the grocery, I'll skimp on something else.

Larry you are a wingnut jerk.

[saltpoint]

26. I don't think Frosted Flakes are all

that big an issue. Personal opinion.

But no matter what a person believes about Frosted Flakes, if we get rid of them, does that mean Tony the Tiger would be out of a job? Thrown out into the street after years of service? Forced to live homeless, begging for scraps?

The worst you could say about Tony is that sometimes he forgets to use his indoor voice. Other than that, the guy's a peach.

Capitalism has a cruel vein running through it, does it not, ladies and gentlemen?

Save Tony!

[meow2u3]

27. Remind me to buy more Kellog's cereals

If the genocidal bigots want to boycott, let us buycott! We must buy what Blightbart and their RW allies tell us not to!!!

He added, “A final observation: most cereal like Frosted Flakes and Fruit Loops is consumed by children. Who has more children, liberals or conservatives? Right. Kellogg might want to start looking for a new CEO.”

This idiot doesn't know many adults like kids' cereal, too. So let's splurge and get some Kellog's Frosted Mini-Wheats.

[redwitch]

28. Just emailed Kellogg to thank them.

I will be buying more Eggos than usual!

[Lotusflower70]

29. Holiday season

Since it's the holidays, I think I will get in the spirit and make some treats such as rice krispie bars, the balls with caramel and marshmallow and the ones with chocolate. Thanks Larry.

[workinclasszero]

30. I will make sure I buy some Kellogg products

in the future.

I haven't noticed Starbucks suffering from PO'ing the deplorables either.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

31. Corner them with so many boycotts they'll have to start farming & riding horses. . . nt

[dhill926]

32. jesus...what a child....

are public tantrums the new normal....

[sarisataka]

33. Moon Labe

You can have my Fruit Loops when you pry them from my cold dead hands. Beak? Nose?
Doesn't matter, you can't have them

[MFM008]

34. going out to buy both.

[yuiyoshida]

35. Is Tony worried? Hell no....

[oberliner]

36. He can team up with Michille Obama

Turn it into a healthy eating initiative.
