In other news, moms are upset at a walrus

[Des-Bal]

I thought that group disbanded or was consumed by eternal fire after they got their shit fucked up over that Archie debacle?

[Doctor whooves]

I'm not a master on definitions and whatnot, but after looking at the ad it seems to technically fall under the realm of bestiality. However, nothing truly inappropriate appears, and it does relate to skittles somewhat. I would say that there is nothing that wrong with this add, and compared to other skittles advertisements, this one is fairly normal.

[Wamitoria]

It's vague. What time was it actually broadcast?

I've seen it at least 5 times. Most were on Comedy Central.

[Wamitoria]

I don't...
What is...
How do you...

Da' Fuq? I mean, seriously? Clearly it is a novel concept called a JOKE. I enjoy seeing them in advertising, because it's a lot easier watching that than the Sham-wow guy rattling off his spiel about beating hookers or sticking to hookers or whatever the hell he's doing now.

One Millions Moms (OMM is their acronym? Really? OMM? There needs to be a counterpart group or two with the acronym 'NOM' that can show up at rallies with them so we can see signs that say 'OMM NOM NOM'. Anyhow-) needs to learn how to take a joke.

This is like the NAACP getting mad about the Starburst 'Scotch-Korean' commercials because they promote the idea that races shouldn't mix or some bullshit. Utterly ridiculous (not to suggest the NAACP would actually say that, but in terms of ridiculousness this is equivalent to that)

National Organization for Marriage (NOM) is affiliated with them, IIRC.

[Rynatia]

For real?.. Although they have a point. Why would a walrus making out with some blonde make me want to buy skittles?

[Ovisterra]

Dat walrus ass.


Seriously though, are OMM trying to make themselves look like idiots with no sense of humour?

[Fulheim]

I think groups that want to censor TV are the worst. Honestly, why don't you just take the Remote of your children's hands and control what they see.

I also feel like eating skittles after reding the skittles word so much in the op.

[Telesha]

So now we can add Skittles to the list of things At Best 10'000 Moms is protesting?

Hell, they might as well have just said they were protesting the "Taste the Rainbow" slogan, it'd make slightly more sense than going after the walrus...

[Ovisterra]

At Best 10'000 Moms

I lol'd

And so you see, my client the warlus. Is in fact the victim of a cruel and viscous racist campaign, it is not the children s welfare, nor the skittles that the Moms are targeting...No. It is the rights of Walrus actors through out the world.

Like I said, it's not a real walrus. It's a mechanical puppet, an animatronic device.

Animatronic devices deserve rights too.

Equal rights for all our animatronic and other puppet brethren! Come on, people, it's not easy being green!

[Big Jim P]

Skittles are being taken to tusk over this.

As for me, I don't care a pinni's worth.

[Rynatia]

Equal rights for all our animatronic and other puppet brethren! Come on, people, it's not easy being green!

And thus the revolution began...


Only to end 3 months later after a few protests, petitions and an incident involving a puppet sock and several assassinations...

Robotic walruses are people too!

[Geilinor]

Oh, come on people. Watching that isn't going to make anyone want to fall in love with a walrus.

[Geilinor]

I chose "Immorality is so hard to define... *eats kitten*".

[Rio Cana]

They just had that commercial. It really is a strange and dumb commercial. Just like that new dumb canned Spaghetti commercial. Do not these companies test these commercials with a live audience before putting them on the air.

Unless, this is a new advertising gimmick. Most people do not pay attention to commercials so maybe they are trying to make these commercials seem so strange that it will catch the attention of the viewer. Once the viewer is hooked they then hit them with product they are pitching.

[Geilinor]

I've seen it at least 5 times. Most were on Comedy Central.

It was mostly on Comedy Central, and young children aren't going to watch that(if all the moms protesting are actually good parents). Watching a walrus trying to kiss someone isn't going to scar them anyway.

[Napkiraly]

All this does is remind me how long it has been since I last had Skittles.

Anyways, this group is stupid. People aren't going to all of a sudden go "Yep. Time to go shag some animals". While the ad isn't funny it's not harmful since, you know, it isn't real.

[Retro Lyra]

Anyway, correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought One Million Moms was more like a handful of moms ranting about gays on an internet forum.
