Fundies: Soup is Gay Food

[marmar]

:crazy:



from the always-entertaining freaks at the American Family Association:



Campbell Soup Company embraces homosexual agenda


Send an email to Campbell Soup Company President Douglas Conant. Tell him you want his company to stop supporting the gay agenda.

In the December, 2008 and January, 2009 issues, Campbell Soup Company bought two, two-page advertisements in the latest issues of the nation's largest homosexual magazine, "The Advocate." The ads promote their Swanson line of broth.

In one of the December ads, the Campbell Soup Company highlighted the lives of two lesbians with their son. The others feature New York City chefs. See the ads here.

Campbell Soup Company has openly begun helping homosexual activists push their agenda. Not only did the ads cost Campbell's a chunk of money, but they also sent a message that homosexual parents constitute a family and are worthy of support. They also gave their approval to the entire homosexual agenda.

TAKE ACTION



* Send an email to Campbell Soup Company President Douglas Conant. Tell him you want his company to stop supporting the gay agenda.

* After sending your email, please call Campbell Soup Company (800-257-8443) and their Swanson division (1-800-442-7684) and ask the company to remain neutral in the culture war.

* Forward this e-mail to your friends and family so they will know about Campbell's support of the gay agenda.

1. However will they make their potluck casseroles now?

[tsuki]

33. Or that Gawd-Awful bean casserole. nt

[Deja Q]

51. with Progresso soup?

:rofl:

[JuniperLea]

2. Tell the haters...

That they are making baby Jesus cry.

'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' Matthew 25:40

"Judge not, lest you be judged yourself. And the measure that you use shall also be put to you." Matthew 7:1-2

[gollygee]

3. Marketing to gay people = "helping homosexual activists push their agenda"?

Which agenda is that? Lunch?

[CatholicEdHead]

41. Yep, they want all advertisers to pull out of marketing to that niche

I guess having the wrong people eating soup drives people nuts. :crazy:

[surrealAmerican]

73. Any decent agenda includes lunch.

[Solly Mack]

4. They're actually pissed because the Alphabet soup confuses them

[marmar]

5. ROFL!

:rofl: :spray:


But I bet you they can see the Virgin Mary in Cream of Broccoli.

[Solly Mack]

11. LOLOLOLOL Our Lady of Florets

[Obamarama]

50. ROFLMAO...you're killin' me.

Our Lady of the Florets. Almost sprayed my coffee when I read that one!

[Deja Q]

52. !

:spray:

[glowing]

6. I'll tell them the next time I see one standing in a soup line.

[rpannier]

7. It does say in Levitucus

Leviticus 13:666 It shall be an abomination in the eyes of God for man to advertise in publications that champion men sleeping with other men.

Leviticus 666:13 It is an offense against God to make a tuna and noodle casserole using Cream of Mushroom soup

[gollygee]

9. What about green bean casserole?

Good thing we're past Thanksgiving.

[rpannier]

18. Green yes

Three bean no.
Because you'd be eating food made of 3 separate beans

[gollygee]

19. Yes, we can't have different types of beans cohabitating in a casserole

LOL

[Cattledog]

8. Damn I thought it was "Baked Alaska"

[QC]

10. I know! Let's reach out to them! n/t

[LeftyMom]

12. Thanks for the earworm!

[KamaAina]

13. M'm! M'm! Good!

I think I'll get me some! There's a heavy-duty soup war going on between Campbell's and Progresso, with MSG allegations and full-page newspaper ads flying around, so we might as well support the side that's on board with the gay agenda! :P

[gollygee]

14. At least now we know what this gay agenda is.

Lunch.

[Missy Vixen]

More soup for me!

I'll be happy to buy even more Campbell's Soup now. We've been eating a lot of it over the past few weeks -- it's cold in Seattle!

Julie

[flvegan]

15. Did they say "culture war"?

Dangerous talk, that.

[Mari333]

16. Its all ANDY WARHOLS FAULT

GAY SOUP

[ColbertWatcher]

17. So, the AFA is pro-Progresso? n/t

[Sebastian Doyle]

20. They won't have Pat Robertson's help this time

As much as Pat fears the "homosexual soup agenda", he hates MSG even more, so he won't be driving his flock from Campbells over to the Progresso camp.

[leftofthedial]

21. I thought quiche was gay food

shows what I know.

[Mari333]

22. AFA sez : NO SOUP FOR YOU

NO SOUP FOR YOU!

[EFerrari]

24. LOL!

[Sebastian Doyle]

25. Perfect!

Donald Wildmon is now the REAL "Soup Nazi"! :rofl:

[MikeE]

31. God, this is the second Seinfeld reference in 2 days

Yesterday I was reading that in Columbia Heights, (a neighborhood in DC), they have a Festivus display and people are posting their grievences on the aluminum poll as has been dictated. :toast:

[Mabus]

23. Who knew that teh gay is why Campbell's is "hmm, hmm good"

Is it wrong to wish that the AFA people would hurry the hell up and get raptured all ready?

[aquart]

26. I certainly will. Campbell Soup is Mmmm MMMM GOOD!

[madrchsod]

27. oh no..gay people actually eat food !

[skooooo]

28. Honestly, who doesn't buy Campbell soup??? nt

[CTyankee]

67. I don't. The sodium alone is frightful.

Both hubby and I have high bp. I have to search high and low for low sodium soups and so now that I am retired, I am making my own damn soup!

[TK421]

29. I just gained a tiny bit of respect for green-bean casserole n/t

[TK421]

30. Well...maybe it's just the cream soups that freak them out

[sinkingfeeling]

32. OMG, I just finished off a can of Campbell's Tomato Soup! What will happen to me now?

[rpannier]

70. Hell Beckoneth to Thee

Thine sin be one of the gravest of the mortal sins.

There be no saving thou from Hell's fiery pit of damnation.

[Neecy]

34. thanks

I'll load up on Campbell's soup this weekend.

[creeksneakers2]

35. How does a company give its approval to

"the entire gay agenda?"

[KamaAina]

36. I thought only the Cream of (ingredient) soups were gay food

:evilgrin:

[RandomKoolzip]

37. Fuckin' sweet! I just ate a can of Campbell's "Healthy Request" Sirloin Burger soup!

I get a tasty, healthy meal AND the chance to subsidize "the gay agenda" in one fell soup...uh, I mean "swoop"!

[pipi_k]

38. Dirty, disgusting, perverted!!!

Last week I caught a bunch of noodles in my chicken noodle soup performing unnatural acts on each other!!!!

[TK421]

39. CREAM OF MUSHROOM!!!!! CREAM OF MUSHROOM!!!!

[Deja Q]

53. STOP TURNING ME ON!!!

[Jamastiene]

40. My updated Grocery List:

Instead of just getting one of each of these, get a BUNCH!

Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup
Campbell's Tomato Soup
Campbell's Oyster Stew
Campbell's Chicken & Dumplings
Campbell's Mushroom Soup
Swanson Chicken
Swanson Chicken Broth
Spaghettios...

...wait a minute...


...


:think:

Gee, I practically live off Campbell's products as it is ANYHOW!
:woohoo:

Easiest. Reverse. Boycott. Ever.

Tehehehe, eet mor soop. I can haz soop, yes i can. :P

[XemaSab]

42. No comment

:P

[LisaL]

43. Canned soup is good and the best part is that you don't have to

cook anything. Just heat and serve.

[CatholicEdHead]

44. How would they know unless they subscribe to the magazines

and read them every month. They project way too much. ;) :crazy:

[rpannier]

71. That's always kind of had me perplexed

Someone associated with their organization had to have read it -- Actually I heard they only buy it for the pictures. Not the articles.

[TexasObserver]

45. Tomorrow, I will buy a bunch of Campbell's soup!

I get it anyway, but now I have a political reason!

Nothing is better on a cold day than a hot bowl of Campbell's soup!!

[CatholicEdHead]

46. These are the actual ads that they are freaking out over

:crazy:

http://www.afa.net/pdfs/cscads.pdf

:crazy: :wtf:

[SoCalNative]

49. wow they really ARE insane

especially since these ads ONLY appeared in a publication geared towards the gay and lesbian population.

What the HELL is their problem?

[CatholicEdHead]

54. Deep down they really want no rights whatsoever

Initially it is all about marriage, then they go to adoption, now they get freaked out over anything but a blanket condemnation in all facets of life. A minority of the AFA population would probably want to bring back lynching.

[AwakeAtLast]

47. I like some of their new Selections

and plain ole Tomato is yummy!

We live on soup in the winter and sometimes it's just easier to crack open a can rather than make it from scratch.

I will double my ususal order!

[AwakeAtLast]

48. ***Donate lots of Campbell's Soup to your local food pantry***

OR clip the labels for schools. Lots of people win!

[NOW tense]

55. I wrote a scathing email to AFA one time.

They shut down my email account.

[Toasterlad]

Where Is the Media Coverage On How Campbell's Is Being Denied Political Expression?

When gays boycott homophobic mormons who donated to Prop 8, oh my lord, what an uproar! We were "hateful people" who "against free speech" and "using blackmail to push our agenda of hate"!

It was in all the newspapers. Where are the columns denouncing the American Family Association? I guess they're just waiting for Rick Warren to apologize on their behalf at the inauguration.

[Sinistrous]

56. This is interesting.

How many times have we read that the gay agenda was a fabrication of the religious right wing wackos. Are we now to believe that there is in fact such a list?

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

57. Oh please... someone needs to get a life

[carlyhippy]

58. OMG~! Are there really people who are this uptight?!

So much for christian belief of forgiveness and love thy neighbor....

Carly

[mrreowwr_kittty]

59. Why do they care what is advertised in the Advocate?

It's a magazine targetting the LGBT community, not the general public. What do they do all day at the AFA? Pore over gay publications while watching LOGO?

[CatholicEdHead]

61. They want to shut the paper down by reducing advertisers

To them anything like that should not exist. :puke:

[sarcasmo]

60. Mmmmmmmmm, Good to the last drop.

Kick.

[fascisthunter]

62. wow... I guess I'm Gay too

chicken noodle soup.... yum!

[Heidi]

63. I haven't bought Campbell's Soup since I moved to Switzerland, but I'll stock up on Monday.

It's about USD $4 a can here but Santa Claus' Christmas stipiend can help me underwrite the gay agenda. Screw the bigots. We're gonna eat soup next week. :kick:

[alfredo]

64. If you can put text in of your own choice, write some crazy shit, or

write other things that undermines the anti American agenda of the AFA.

[krispos42]

65. Campbell's email address is:

[e-mail]


That's the email addy the fundies want to send their "letter" .

Dear President Conant:

I request that Campbell Soup Company stop promoting the homosexual agenda and remain neutral in the culture war. I certainly hope you will honor my request by no longer placing ads in homosexual publications like "The Advocate." Campbell's should not take sides in a political battle, but put your efforts in producing the finest products you can.

I will await word from American Family Association for your response before deciding whether or not to continue to purchase your products.

That's what they want people to send.

Douglas R. Conant, President
Campbell Soup Company
Campbell Place
Camden, NJ 08103
Phone: [phone]
or: 1-800-257-8443




I sent this instead:

Dear Sir,

It has come to my attention via the blogosphere (democraticunderground.com) that the American Family Association is running an online petition drive to attempt to punish and dissuade you from advertising in several magazines orientated to the homosexual reader.

While I understand that you can't openly tell those bigoted, small-minded, nosy, sanctimonious, theocratic, busybodies to shove a can of tomato soup, sideways, where the sun doesn't shine, please understand you have my compete support for your advertising campaign.

And if you can find a way to politely and discretely tell them to shove, sideways, the aforementioned can of tomato soup where the sun doesn't shine, then by all means do so. There are great swaths of the population that enjoy seeing such fundamentalists twitted.

<krispos42>

[knitter4democracy]

66. Do they honestly think their SAHMs will boycott Campbell's?

What about casseroles and crock pot cooking? What about Campbell's labels for schools? I seriously doubt most of their SAHM base is going to take this with more than a grain of salt. Some might, but they're crazy anyway.

[madeline_con]

68. There goes the green bean casserole, damn it!

I'll have to use the store brand's mushroom soup!!! :mad:

[sarcasmo]

69. Kick, back to the top.

[rpannier]

72. I'm sure they'll comeout with their own brand of God's Hallowed Soups

M...M...M Godly and not a hint of homosexuality in every spoonful...Ummmmm is spoonful considered gay?

I would have used bite or taste, but those are obviously gay friendly words.
