Are Skittles designed to promote immorality?

Of course they are. They're trying to get our kids to turn gay by 'tasting the rainbow!'

Next up, One Million Moms will protest the scene in Alice in Wonderland with the walrus that promotes oyster genocide.

Hey, the oysters had been antagonizing us for generations.

I don't mean to sound harsh, but they had it coming.

Let's take this one by one.

Do I care what this group thinks?
Not really, and I think they need to shut up and get over this non-issue.

Do I want to buy more Skittles?
No, but I've never liked fruit-flavored candy anyway.

Will this thread be threadjacked into a debate over bestiality?
Maybe.

Well, clearly, there is a problem. This is a clear cut case of species-ism. As the founding member and president of the newly invented and totally non-existent National Association for the Advancement of Inter-species Equality, aka the Million Sea Mammals for Morality, i am appalled at the blatant discrimination against seals, sea lions, manatees, dugongs and cetaceans shown by this ad. There are too many humans shown on TV as it is.

I'm endlessly amused they don't think lying is immoral. They don't have One Million Moms in their group, maybe they think they represent one million moms, but still - they don't have evidence for that either I'm sure.

is pushing for Skittles to remove it's weird ad that featured a woman making out with a walrus.


They have too much time on their hands.

As usual with this group, they're only going to succeed in garnering more publicity for Skittles. It's almost as if they're an industry front group. *tinfoil hat*


They do seem to have that effect alot...

But as for the discussion: Do you care what this group thinks?


No, I don't care what they thing. I do like knowing though so I can be endlessly amused by their hopelessness.

Do you want to buy more skittles?


I would, but I don't like skittles. The walrus has nothing to do with that though.

Will this thread inevitably be threadjacked into a debate over the legality or illegality of bestiality?

My opinion: No, No, and probably.

Damn walruses, stealing all of our women.

Leave some of our women for us, you bastards! But you can have the Skittles.

I haven't seen this ad, but it sounds like some people are getting needlessly worked up over an advert, which is provoking a series of turtle-y awful jokes here on NS.

I was expecting them to be upset by the infidelity aspect which I can sort of see.

Then it said they were worried about the bestiality and :eyebrow:

Yes, I do care about what they say, because I'm extremely worried that watching this advert will tempt me into having sex with a pinniped.

Yes, I do want to buy more Skittles, they're delicious.

Yes, this thread will be threadjacked, but not by me.
Don't be deceived when our Revolution has finally been stamped out and they tell you things are better now even if there's no poverty to see, because the poverty's been hidden...even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which these new industries foist on you, and even if it seems to you that "you never had so much" - that is only the slogan of those who have much more than you.

Yep. See what happens when we legalize gay marriage? Brazil is allowing threesome unions (which hey, is kinda cool or should I say hot?) and now commercials are reflecting the decadence of this generation -my generation- and their unholy obsession with bumping uglies with walruses.
