I never got the big deal/backlash over the original ad.......

I saw it and was like........wtf was wrong with that??

I get all my news from The Daily Show and Colbert Report

Ant-manic · 01-30-2014, 03:15 PM

i don't get why msnbc is apologizing. FOX wouldn't apologize for saying something racially insensitive or besmirching liberals.

What did MSNBC say exactly?

Nothing was wrong with it. If you don't get the big deal you probably aren't a racist.

A couple days ago: Cheerios makes commercial

Today: Angry Liberals love cheerios

Damn it, I am so sick of missing these pointless controversies!

Not pointless! Controversy = website traffic = $$$.

A fairly asnine way to generalize everyone but somehow you managed to pull it off.

Cheerios are racist against non-circular letters.

MessiahDecoy123 · 01-31-2014, 04:08 AM

Cheerios support the letter "o" and biracial people.

It's a conspiracy engineered by Obama!

If there's anything offensive, it's the commercial with Buzz. "Swag" needs to stop.

No one ever said racism makes sense

MessiahDecoy123 · 01-31-2014, 08:03 AM

Too many biracial people would cause the apocalypse.

These people wouldn't know whether eat more mayo or do the dougie.

That confusion will lead to the overthrow of government and mass cannibalism.

Wake up, America.

They've always been; it's just this time they have a valid complaint.
