Is Skittles pushing the Walrusexual Agenda?



















John Nolte, a blogger at Breitbart, seems to believe so.



In his angry rant about the goofy ad, "Wrigley Co. Uses Bestiality to Sell Skittles," he fumes:

You can laugh and say it's just a joke, but through a war of inches, Hollywood continues its assault to define deviancy down and to normalize destructive behavior. Humor is an excellent way to get us used to and to take the shock value out of something hideous and immoral. 
He's kidding, right? I wish!

If you don't think there's an agenda behind this, you haven't been paying attention the last 40 years. And if you don't think that there are those who hold the levers of power in our popular culture that would like to remove the stigma from bestiality, you don't understand the depths of sexual depravity the human animal is capable of.   
I used to laugh at loud at the term "slippery slope." 
Then I grew up.
Remind you of anyone? Santorum? Anyone?
In every society, the definition of marriage has not ever to my knowledge included homosexuality. That's not to pick on homosexuality. It's not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be. It is one thing. And when you destroy that you have a dramatic impact on the quality.
Finally, Mr. Nolte reminds us that this is all the fault of feminism:
But I am at least old enough to remember when our culture wanted to protect a woman's dignity, not degrade women under the guise of "liberation" and "equality." 
Oh yeah, baby, you've come a real long way. 
Wow.

Hotel chain that loves Mitt Romney also loves women who love women


According to Buzzfeed Politics, Marriott International "once counted Mitt Romney as a corporate board member" and its owner "is among the candidate's top donors."

They have also launched a campaign targeted to gay women called "Be you, with us". Which is cool.

And this is no stealth campaign. From the press release: 

“We are proud of this campaign and of our long-standing reputation for our commitment to diversity and inclusion,” says Joanna Todd, vice president, segment strategy.  “Our core strength lies in our ability to embrace differences and make everyone feel respected and valued when they visit and stay in our hotels.  Later this year, we will also launch new campaigns to reach African American and Latino audiences.”

The campaign is by UniWorld Group, Inc., Marriott’s Multicultural Marketing agency, along with the company’s LGBT communications specialist, Bob Witeck, President of Witeck Communications. 

The Lesbian and Gay Travel section of their web site adds:

We’re proud to say Marriott was one of the first hotel companies to offer equal benefits to same-sex couples nationwide, earning us top ratings on the Corporate Equality Index from the Human Rights Campaign. 
We want our gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender guests to feel at home at every Marriott property. We invite you to explore Pride celebrations around the globe, find special travel offers and packages, and discover all the ways we’re celebrating with you.


Which is awesome. But it should be interesting to see what happens when the worlds of Mitt "marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman" Romney and "Be you, with us" collide.

As they certainly will, once One Million Morons Moms gets a whiff of this...

Hilarious political bus wrap gaffe


This bus wrap, for Alberta Wildrose Party leader Danielle Smith, is quite the "oops".

CBC reports that the campaign office is concerned that this design "oversight" is a "distraction" and that it  will be changed immediately. I'm amazed the bus ever saw the light of day.

Ms. Smith is running in the 2012 Alberta provincial election in the southern riding of Highwood. She describes herself as a conservative who is "libertarian and pro-choice."

So, lets just have a good chuckle over the mistake and let her get back in the saddle. She deserves our respect. Just as soon as we get this image out of our minds.

Thanks to Eric for sharing.
