The stupid knows no end.

Story: Frito-Lay, maker of Doritos brand corn chips, created a specialty bag of rainbow-colored Doritos to raise funds for an LGBTQ charity (It Gets Better). Many people rejoiced, and they sold like hotcakes, even though they taste like artificially flavored cardboard. American conservative writer Ed Straker claimed that the chips were clearly being marketed to "introduce children to the joys of homosexuality." (As if eating Doritos is a particularly joyful or homosexual activity?)

I'd buy a bag if they were Nacho Cheese flavored. But I hate ranch.

So, that's what gay tastes like.

Son of a gun.

Some people suffer from abysmal ignorance as a natural inheritance. Some people strive for abysmal ignorance as an engine for profit.

Look at it this way. He is not going to convince anyone with that chip on his shoulder* kind of horse hockey except people who are already convinced the "gays" are going to invade their houses and turn them.

I'm not sure if it had to be said. But it's clever.

Nah, the gays don't invade houses to turn anyone. They just do it to redecorate.

Don't cling to a mistake just because you spent a lot of time making it.

Having to eat ranch-flavoured Doritos to keep gay creds is enough to turn one straight.

In the article, he suggests that heterosexuality should be promoted by advertising hot dogs in their buns. As if most advertising wasn't already "promoting" heterosexuality. And as if hot dogs weren't already a phallic joke.

We've appropriated bright colours. Of COURSE we're going to win over the kiddies. And anyone else who isn't turned on by beige.

Technology has brought us all closer together. Turns out a lot of the people you meet as a result are complete idiots.
