1. Good news! N/T

2. Boycott Mac and Cheese!!!

:rofl:

5. I'll bet Mac & Cheese is 79% of the diet of Bible Belt kids.

The remaining 21% is a mystery to me.

8. Pork rinds and beer.

Vote the bigots down and out. :)

4. Not sure who the stockholders are, but if they told the evangelist

group to go piss up a pipe, that's a good thing.

Let's hope there's more of it in corporate America.

If these evangelical groups want to worship, I suggest they haul their hindends into their own church and whoop it up til the cows come home, and leave everybody else alone.

6. They complain about the Gay Games and not corporate food

and the effect on the environment, people, and society as a whole. Talk about narrow minded.

7. Kraft also owns a big tobacco company

They're not doing the gay community any favors when the average lifespan of an HIV-Pos non-smoking White American male on the AIDS cocktail is five years LONGER than an HIV-Neg White American male who smokes.

"Welcome to our cigarette-sponsored gay games, my homosexual friends! Now smoke! Smoke! Muhahahahaha!"

And now, a message from Ford Motors...

"Buy our big gas-guzzling SUVs because we advertise in your gay magazines. Enjoy your global warming, and enjoy health insurance benefits equal to your straight counterparts-- until we bust your unions and cancel your pensions along with theirs! Muhahahahaha!"

9. That's it's own problem. But I'll take their sponsorship $ over having

them denied because of some fundy whack jobs.
