Giving candy to liberals...

Hat tip to BoingBoing on this one: The company that makes Gummi candy was planning to come out with a new line:
Trolli Road Kill Gummi Candy But... Like frikin' rain on a parade, the "sensitive people" have to engage in collective nanny-ism and consider the feelings of these poor candy animals:

Kraft Draws Ire for Road Kill Candy
Animal rights activists are disgusted by a new candy from Kraft Foods Inc. that's shaped like critters run over by cars — complete with tire treads. The fruity-flavored Trolli Road Kill Gummi Candy — in shapes of partly flattened snakes, chickens and squirrels — fosters cruelty toward animals, according to the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Oooooo - Ire -- real unbridled Ire walks the streets at night, petitions are being circulated, focus groups are convening, meetings are being held, people are talking to their therapists, the left spins itself into further irrelevancy. C'mon people -- it's C A N D Y Get over yourselves... Posted by DaveH at February 25, 2005 11:26 PM
