Schweddy Balls Controversary
Conservative mom group, One Million Moms, which is part of the American Family Association, is boycotting Ben & Jerry's newest ice cream flavor, Schweddy Balls, inspired by an SNL NPR-spoofed sketch that stars Alec Baldwin, along with Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon, according to ABC News.
One Million Moms posted this on their website:
“The vulgar new flavor has turned something as innocent as ice cream into something repulsive,” the group, an offshoot of American Family Association...Not exactly what you want a child asking for at the supermarket.”
Re: gay-themed ice cream flavor Hubby Hubby
“It seems that offending customers has become an annual tradition for Ben & Jerry’s."
They call on others to do their part by asking:
Please send Ben & Jerry's Public Relations Manager, Sean Greenwood, an email letter requesting that no additional Schweddy Balls ice cream be distributed. Also, highly recommend they refrain from producing another batch with this name or any other offensive names or you will no longer be able to purchase their products.
Wonder how many non-white women are in this group. Perhaps they should boycott themselves until they figure out why that is.

This Is Such BS
Religious groups (along with anti-porn groups) are at it again wanting to boycott something. NBC has a new show slated to air in the Fall called, "The Playboy Club." It is an hourlong drama that takes place at the Chicago Playboy Club in the 60's and is said to have a "Mad Men" feel to it. The show stars Eddie Cibrian and Amber Heard.
According to HuffPost Entertainment, Pink Cross, founded by former porn star Shelley Lubben, is a religious group dedicated to helping out adult porn actors for financial, emotional and transitional assistance stated, "What's shown in 'The Playboy Club' is not real, Playboy definitely damages people. It's pornography, it's sex trafficking and it exploits women," she told Fox411.com. "The series looks like it's all cute, taking place back in the old days. It seems harmless, but then they show a quick clip of three people going at it in the bathroom. NBC is breaking the law with this show. They're not meeting FCC standards."
Now why a former porn star is judging anybody, let alone something that's not even porn or the fact she is going out of the scope of what her business is all about, helping adult "porn" actors which these actors in, "The Playboy Club" are not, is just crazy talk. We need to be talking about the fact that there is actually a black Playboy Bunny (see second video) in the mix!
Check out these two teasers of the show:
