Okay, so the moving picture show candy Mike & Ike came up with a clever ad campaign to get attention, which is what ad campaigns are supposed to do.  Well, that and hack off conservatives.

The ad campaign talks about the “split” of Mike & Ike – off to pursue different goals.  Will they divorce?  Will they seek counseling?  What will become of their love?  Will you please buy some damn candy?

So, having conquered poverty, crime, education, war, a nuclear Iran, and Boolean algebra, Family Research Council president Tony Perkins, a rightwing harbinger of all things sexy, has taken on Mike & Ike.

“It’s just another subtle example of society chipping away at the value of marriage,” he said. “And I don’t know what’s more disturbing–that advertisers think divorce appeals to kids or that sexualizing candy will make people buy more. After a year-long build-up, the company will reveal if the couple reconciles. Until then, look for Mike & Ike to have a distinctly liberal flavor.”

Dude, it’s sugar, gelatin, and food coloring.  That, my friend, is not the recipe for making whoopie.

Last week this same guy had other sexy ideas —

The leader of an anti-LGBT rights group on Monday said a scandal where Secret Service agents were caught with female prostitutes in Columbia was actually the fault of “open homosexuality in our military.”

Damn, I should have seen that coming.

Thanks to Austin Hat Lady for the heads-up.
