Well, not Barilla's anyway. With all these boycotts, pretty soon they're going to be down to Costco's store brands and the weird guy down the street who hand weaves hemp underwear for all their shopping needs.

Head of Barilla pasta company: Gays can eat someone else’s pasta

This was posted in the LGBT group but I think it needs a broader DU audience.
No more Barilla pasta products for me!
Head of Barilla pasta company: Gays can eat someone else’s pasta
Guido Barilla, president of the family-owned Barilla pasta company, said in a radio interview on Wednesday that his company only supports “the traditional family†and that LGBT people “can go eat someone else’s pasta.†According to John Aravosis at Americablog, Barilla has since backtracked on his remarks somewhat, but many LGBT people around the world are reacting angrily to the slam by the head of the massive, global brand.
“We won’t include gays in our ads, because we like the traditional family,†Barilla told an interviewer. “If gays don’t like it, they can always eat another brand of pasta. Everyone is free to do what they want, provided it doesn’t bother anyone else.â€
Barilla said today that he meant no ill will toward LGBT people with his remarks, saying in a statement, “With reference to statements made yesterday, I apologize if my words have generated controversy or misunderstanding, or if they have hurt the sensibilities of some people. In the interview I simply wanted to highlight the central role of the woman in the family.â€

I think if I owned one of these companies and started catching shit from the moonbats, I'd put out a press release announcing that I was donating one dollar for every complaining email, phone call, letter and Facebook post my company got to the American Family Institute or some right-to-life organization and see what happened, just to **** with their heads. :tongue:

4. This straight person is going to eat another brand of pasta, too.
I just bought a box of their pasta last week. I have bought it many times. No more.
$kimmer is straight? Who knew? I always thought he was married to Lord Marblehead, and the chick in those photos was just a "beard".

15. Or donate it to an abuse center then send the company an email.
Telling them what you really think of a woman's 'traditional' place in the family.

21. No I will not donate it. My chickens love their pasta, I will not cook it
and feed it to them. Yes I do plan on contacting them.
**** the poor and downtrodden, I'm making a statement here![/dummymode]

Quite a long time ago, the turd-burglars tried to brow-beat the owner of Celestial Seasonings.
They demanded (it was not a request), that he donate something like 100k to them.
He published that demand in the paper, and basically told to take a hike.
It was hilarious.
The radical poofters pitched a fit.
The normal ones, continued to buy the product.

I thought DUmmies hated big corporations? They hate family owned businesses, too?

Yeah I saw this a few hours ago on Ace of Spades (which BTW the comments made me laugh beer out of my nose...and that hurts) and have already bought a few boxes of Barilla Linguine (loves me some Linguine and clams) which was more expensive but IMHO tastes better.
I am so tired of the turd burglar mafia.

Looks like I should go buy some Barilla pasta next time I'm at the store. :whistling:

Ditto.
Just between what you and I buy will more than offset any losses Barilla will incure from a DUmmie boycott. :lmao:

I just told my wife about this, and she said, "I guess that we'll have to eat their pasta, then."

188. I am a heterosexual and a former barilla pasta buyer. The barilla pasta on my counter
went into the trash today. No barilla pasta will be used in my home again until the chairman is out and has no influence in that company, even if he is part of ownership.
People are going hungry and DUmmies are throwing away food! What a waste of time and energy! Global warming! Climate change! Single payer now!
It's my guess that bluestate10 used an EBT card.

:lmao: Dandi, you're a genius. Man, would I love to see that.
I LOVE Barilla pasta, and buy it all the time. I'll continue to do so.

Twitchy's calling it the "Great Pasta Kerfuffle of 2013." Ronzoni has entered the fray:
@jena_always Just like pasta, we believe families come in all shapes, sizes, colors & orientations. Our pasta is for all.—
Ronzoni (@ronzonipasta) September 26, 2013
After which Perez Hilton thanks them.
Barilla's the pasta for me. Ronzoni is the equivalent of Poor White Trash.

Chick Fillet ring a bell DUmbasses?
Oh, and I'll make sure I ONLY buy this guy's pasta from now on!
Suck it, DUmmies!
Like you idiots are gonna make a diff anyway.

I'm sure Barilla is hurting from the sting of you throwing away their pasta
...that you had already bought. :lmao:
