If you are going to do it go the whole way and be really offensive rather than pussy footing around.
eg Tom and Jerry's Sweaty Cobs flavour

Spoiler:

and more people would start making ice cream
Mr Whippy would be a typical family saloon

though housewives worldwide might start a campaign against Mr Whippy

Or better yet, coal prices.

I would happily pay $80 for a short ton of ice cream.

Mmmmmmmmmm.

I mean, I'd literally in heaven, since I'd eat my self to death.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

It could be worse. There is another related skit (I cannot seem to find it on Youtube, Damnit!) that just might in some horrible twist of fate inspire a hotdog company to put out a limited edition run of Schweddy Wieners. The horror!

**Chibi Bodge-Battle**

"Going to fill up at the pump" is starting to sound like sticking the nozzle in your mouths and not the car's fuel cap!

**daedalus**

I think this is standard issue. These kind of people have the Fear. It's irrational and constant; they're absolutely terrified of any scrape, bruise or blemish their little Johnny might have to suffer. They are also scared that Johnny might grow up one day, and would like to do every last thing in their power to prevent that from happening. After all, we can't let him find out about something so unnatural as sexuality or even just genitalia. And we definitely can't have him hearing dirty or off-color jokes.

Prevention is better than kids as they say

Schoolboy humour has its place
Prefereably in the schoolyard, but still not convinced it is a good aid for the naming of desserts.

The thing that stuck out for me the most is this:

In the past, Ben & Jerry's has released controversial ice creams, like a special edition of Chubby Hubby called Hubby Hubby last year which celebrated gay marriage. It seems that offending customers has become an annual tradition for Ben & Jerry's.

So celebrating gay marraige is offensive, eh? I hope each and every one of these mothers' children grow up to be homosexual. That'll learn 'em.

**Chibi Bodge-Battle**

That's 2.4million gay kids
Demographers in years to come will call it the Ben and Jerry's Gay Explosion

Ben and Jerry will launch a suitable flavour ice cream to commemorate it

rinse and repeat

eventually thanks to Ben and Jerry the entire population of the USA will be gay

Driving Ice Cream powered cars with Village People chimes

**daedalus**

Perhaps a sausage flavored ice cream would be appropriate for the situation?

I seriously think that Ben & Jerry's could take this in awesome directions. They should release a flavor called "Wholesome Middle America" and have it be the most bland skim-milk based vanilla ice cream they can manufacture.

It would actually be fantastic for mid-westerners. They could use a couple scoops of low-fat mixed in with the real deal. You should come see people around here. I think most haven't seen their genitalia for a while.

Unlikely. One of the prevailing characteristics of being gay is self-selection out of the gene pool.

At least, assuming homosexuality is genetic.

**Chibi Bodge-Battle**

Who is that crazy chef? Bloomensthal?
He has probably already done that, have seen fish ice cream

Just occured to me that housewiffery has changed a great deal since I were a lad

It used to be. 'A million housewives every day, pick up a tin of beans and say, "Beanz meanz Heinz!" '

Now they are too busy complaining about ice cream flavours to say advertising slogans whilst holding groceries.
Don't know what this world is coming to!

Genetics has nothing to do with it. This is some gypsy curse type thing I'm laying down here. The Rainbow Hex.

Some people are just not happy unless they're outraged or moaning about something.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said it well:

There are people who have an appetite for grief; pleasure is not strong enough and they crave pain. They have mithridatic stomachs which must be fed on poisoned bread, natures so doomed that no prosperity can sooth their ragged and dishevelled desolation.

He was also known for posing for the American versions of the Where's Wally books.

I hope the mother that started this petition is eating her breakfast in ten years time and her son appears on TV wearing ass-less chaps at a gay pride parade in San Francisco.

**Melissia**

Or her daughter is caught making out with another woman on TV... and they're wearing identical wedding rings? hehe...

**htj**

Ben & Jerry's could then target this whole new demographic with their new 'Sour Grapes' flavour.

**dogma**

Or celebrate transexualism with "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?"

Also, morbid obesity.

**Zefig**

Well, I can proudly say that I have taken action on this terrible issue, sending the following email through the OneMillionMoms website (I may have edited the email slightly from their standard form text). Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I encourage you all to take action as well.

Dear Mr. Greenwood:

As a rational member of society with a sense of humor, I must applaud your company for releasing the Schweddy Balls ice cream flavor and apologize on behalf of my fellow human being for the form letters coming to you from the One Million Moms site. It's nice to see a company these days that isn't trying to gag itself due to overblown concerns of being politically correct. I very much hope that this trend continues and that you don't bow to pressures being exerted by pushy moms trying to ruin everyone else's fun.

I look forward to hearing from you regarding my concern.

**Chowderhead**

Oh good god. One Million Moms is run by the AFA.

We're all going to hell for not condemning B&J's!

**halonachos**

dogma wrote:Oh no, children might learn that they have genitalia.

They learn that when they're two or four.

**Necroshea**

You know they've gone too far when they make a lemonade prune flavored ice cream and call it lemon party.

**Kasrkai**

dogma wrote:Or celebrate transexualism with "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?"

New flavor:

Ironic Obesity;

You know you don't feel guilty enough.

**halonachos**

"Two scoops, one cup" was probably their worst flavor.

Just be glad it's not "One Scoop, One Jar."

**Kasrkai**

...And now this delicious bowl of Ice-Cream I was previously inspired to get, has gone to the trash.

**Chibi Bodge-Battle**

One Million Moms is run by the AFA.

The American Football Association?
Are these the soccer moms one hears about?

Just be glad it's not "One Scoop, One Jar."

I dunno, given the context a double scoop on a cone is very suggestive, but then again, a single scoop is so very Adolf Hitler.

No, the football association is called the NFL. We don't believe in calling soccer football.
