Screw Kraft. I think they should make a poop frosting flavored, and scented Oreo cookie. Advertise your pro gay rights commercial, and then sell, or try to sell) THAT! Do I think the Salvation Army guy should have made that comment? No. Do I think it matters all that much in the long run? No. 1. It's just one guy. Not the whole company. Smart people know that. 2. The community of queers is only 10% of the population at MAX. So Oreo, and Kraft are going to have only a slight bump in income. The reverse is true for the Salvation Army.

'Nuff said.

According evidence presented to the Supreme Court in that Texas queer case, male homosexuals account for 1.9 to 3.8 percent of the male population and lesbians are 0.9 to 1.8 percent of the females.

It's just that they are such loud, obnoxious assholes that they make you think they are a large group.

Thank you. Hadn't known that. I was just reiterating what I have heard before.

WOW, that's way lower than I have been led to believe.

I have always heard the 10% figure myself. We're destroying a nation for a minute portion of the population.

What's funny are claims that corporate America adds profit when they market directly to gays. For any customer they may gain with that strategy, they will lose at least one. The other side is the gay customer may already be a customer of your product such that no directed marketing is necessary.

The DUmmies rush out and buy their product in solidarity with their fellow weirdoes. There is a slight blip in sales and then it goes back to what it was or less and the company wonders, "What happened?".

I have several charities that I contribute to including the S.A. Might just find another in it's place. Cowards that cower to the queer agenda don't get my money. Kraft is also on my shit list.

I think the ongoing CFA incident shows that Kraft was wrong.
