"Over the past two weeks, we sent our complaint about Jon Stewart’s “vagina manger” stunt of April 16 to the major sponsors of “The Daily Show”; we made sure they received a copy of the picture flashed on the screen of a naked woman with her legs spread with a nativity scene ornament in between. We are pleased with Delta’s response, and are awaiting a reply from others, many of which were contacted only this week. But we were taken aback by this response from Kellogg’s: “We understand that our customers come from a variety of backgrounds, experiences, lifestyles, and cultures and we respect their individual decisions to choose the television programs that they deem acceptable for themselves and their families. Consumers speak most loudly when they vote with their remote control and change the channel or turn off the TV if a program does not fit their personal criteria.”

Ping. Didn’t know if you saw this.
I’m sorry, I meant to respond to Hodar...not you.
I have no problem defending my faith. Stewart was wrong. Stewart is a jackass. I didn’t watch him ... but, if I could’ve, I’d have shut off the show. I’d still buy Kellogg’s cereal, though.
It still wasn’t “hate speech”.
The “gay thing” is on point. I’m talking about over-sensitive people labeling offensive speech “hate speech” as an attempt to silence it.
I come in out of the rain when the job is done.

The left screams about those who disagree with them attempting to “silence” them.
The right calls for responsibility and accountability.
Obviously, you’re not offended enough to do anything about the hate speech coming from Stewart and his ilk...those frosted flakes really must be something.
They will get soggy in the rain.

The left screams and whines to attempt to silence opponents. Obviously, some of the right do the same thing. I’d rather not be like a whiny liberal ... just whiny about different stuff.
Right and wrong don’t hinge on how offended I am. Emotional responses are rarely the right ones, and rarely effective.

“..that said, you are free to watch him as much, or as little, as you would like.”
And we are free to boycott Kellogg’s products, which I do.
Grneric products are just as good, and less expensive, anyway.
Kellogg’s phone number:
“Contact us.
Call Consumer Affairs
1-800-962-1413”
Let them know why we are boycotting.
I think they also contribute to Planned Parenthood.
“Right and wrong don’t hinge on how offended I am. “
You are absolutely correct.
“The left screams and whines to attempt to silence opponents.”
They do.
“I’d rather not be like a whiny liberal ... just whiny about different stuff.”
Fair enough Snake Doc.
Thanks for all the contact info Sun. I’m on it too.
You are welcome.
Lots of good folks on this popular thread.
