Schweddy Balls, Alec Baldwin and One Million Moms

I went looking for Ben and Jerry's new flavor Schweddy Balls at the grocery store the other day and couldn't find it. I wonder if One Million Moms had anything to do with it?

If you caught Alec Baldwin's opening monologue on Saturday Night Live this weekend, then you heard him refer to the idiotic campaign a group called, One Million Moms, has launched against Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream because the company is selling a seasonal flavor called, Schweddy Balls, in honor of the Pete Schweddy sketches they've done on the show over the years. Now, in the words of One Million Moms (who I suspect are numbered in something far less than millions based on the fact that they only have 36,000 Likes on their Facebook Page) but in their own words this, "vulgar new flavor has turned something as innocent as ice cream into something repulsive. Not exactly what you want a child asking for at the supermarket."
Well, speaking from experience, I don't really see a lot of children asking for Schweddy Balls Ice cream when its competing with dozens of other flavors in much larger containers which are loaded down with every kind of candy bar and cookie combination known to man.But those Moms have still called for a letter writing campaign which has resulted in an astonishing 500 letters being written to Ben and Jerry's condemning Schweddy balls -- with another 500 letters coming in supporting Scweddy Balls. Which has resulted in Ben and Jerry's issuing a statement that ""It's a great flavor and our fans know it. It's flying off the shelves in a lot of places."
Which must really be depressing for the Mom's who are only trying to fulfill the mission statement of their parent organization, " to motivate and equip citizens to change the culture to reflect Biblical truth."
Well, as the Bible says, blessed are the Peacemakers, so would it kill Ben and Jerry's to release a few more biblically correct flavors like, "Nailed to the Hot Crossed Buns." Or "Sermon on the Chocolate Mount."
I wonder what Jesus's favorite ice cream was. Probably vanilla.

one million moms cant get sex out of there minds so they want to get rid of anything that reminds them of it. i guess they have nothing better to do while waiting for their husbands to come home from work so they can spread their legs and make more babies

[britethorn]

@yay78900 And clearly they spend way too much time in the ice cream aisle.

[jensjam]

Have to wonder if Ben and Jerry had it out in limited editions and because of the "contraversity" is going to bring it out full force.

[britethorn]

@jensjam They like to put out limited edition flavors in the fall. If the flavor proves popular they keep it in production. The also "churned" out a limited edition of "Chubby Hubby" which they called "Hubby Hubby" in support of gay marriages. Not surprisingly, "One Million Moms" went after them for that flavor as well.

Judas Pistachio?

one million moms can schuck my schweddy balls

[SamoanLegacy98]

Yeaaahh... 38,000, as all of us 6th-grade math-passers may know, is only 3.8% of 1million. And it's not like most of the kids will "get" the connection. And if they're smart enough to giggle at the name, it's TOO LATE!!!

1,000,000 bullshit. It’s probably a few old right-wing hags lead by Phyllis Schafly and Ann Coulter.

@thatdudeinthehoodie

LOL

[alfredosgal]

I love those ideas for new flavors.  ;)

[alfredosgal]

One million moms are closed minded bad "Christians" and they need to judge not.

[GovernorSears]

Skinny Rob Reiner is right. Not to sound sexist but the women in this country are becoming quite outspoken for the sake of children. They're gonna be exposed to this stuff eventually

[brkylnzoo]

Ben and jerrys should make an ice cream called, one milfy moms.

[ofelixdacat]

They are called "One Million Moms" yet they only have less than 38,000 supporters on Facebook. I don't know about everyone else, but that doesn't sound like "One Million Moms" to me...
