They’re also mad at Froot Loops right now.

[-] mateomaui@reddthat.com 32 points 8 months ago

That’s a new one.

Oh it really is a new one.

Many former fans are toying with the idea of a boycott since word started circulating on social media about Kellogg's Froot Loops promoting a digital library "with equity, diversity and inclusion content" advertised on boxes of the cereal in Canada.

The digital library website, co-sponsored by Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada, allows limited access to all users who confirm they are at least 13 years old, and additional access with a code found inside the specially marked boxes of Froot Loops.

Thank you, Canada, aggravate away. Gonna go buy some to support the cause and see if I can get some repubs I know on the mailing list or something.

I was wondering why my neighbor was out in his front yard burning boxes of breakfast cereal. His wife was pissed too, she was carrying the AR-15.

It’s a hell of a time when you can’t be certain if this insane collection of words is sincere or not. All of it. It could go either way.

Literally can't tell if he's joking or not. Crazy times we live in.

[-] Buffaloaf@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

Really? Why? Did they just now realize that's not how "fruit" is actually spelled?

[-] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 31 points 8 months ago

I think it has something to do with making a online childrens library?

If you were worried about gay indoctrination then why did you feed your kids the rainbow cereal before?

They get really frustrated over this because they can’t call you gay as a retort

[-] nocturne213@lemm.ee 7 points 8 months ago

Hell, they think retort is a slur.

[-] eskimofry@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

No they think retort is a food like pork

[-] dirthawker0@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago

And Republicans being against diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Didn't his estate make the decision to pull them, and then Republicans cried about how Democrats were cancelling Dr Seuss? They can never let the facts get in the way.

[-] Yamainwitch@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

When they went after the OG neighbor Fred Rogers, they showed us who they fucking were, FUCK the GOP

[-] seaQueue@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

And cartoons and movies. At this point aimless fury seems to be their default state.

[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 8 points 8 months ago

If things aren't bad, then the religion they tend to have in common is false, because it promises a depraved and lawless world that needs their religion in order to survive.

Can't even begin to countenance that people are happy and altruistic in spite of their religion.

[-] assassin_aragorn@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

It's especially hilarious when you see how antithetical it is to their holy book. Chronically angry and infuriated is not how I would describe the depiction of Jesus. When he did get angry, it was against people being hypocrites or selling things in the temple or mistreating the poor & foreigners.

They've created a religion that is antithetical to their holy book, and they're told to rage against the very things their figurehead would support. It's no wonder evangelicals want kids to be illiterate.

[-] Littleborat@feddit.de 3 points 8 months ago

That's because black people could get the same healthcare as them or read about their mistreatment in the past. Can't have that.

[-] Patches@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

read about their mistreatment in the past.

I cannot believe we're working on preventing this.

To the point even that some black Republicans are going "hey Ron this is going a bit too far"
