I wonder how much dope B & J's marketing department had to smoke before coming up with this.
Ben & Jerry's announced their newest ice cream flavor which sounds anything but appealing. Schweddy Balls is the best they could come up with. The vulgar new flavor has turned something as innocent as ice cream into something repulsive. Not exactly what you want a child asking for at the supermarket.
Ben & Jerry's spokesman
Sean Greenwood, who is probably a good example of how one can go to college without actually learning anything worth learning, even
says “We’re feeling pretty psyched about Schweddy Balls offending the public,” and calls the name "irreverent", but there is a difference between being irreverent and being publicly vulgar, obscene, and offensive.
When I searched Photobucket with the term "schweddy balls" for an image to link to for this post, I got
this web page which states that
"Photobucket DOES NOT host sexually explicit content
Your search term probably relates to adult content." And
"Warning: If you are under 18 or live in an area where it is illegal for you to view explicit content, please try another search."
This kind of marketing is just one example of the depths of immoral decadence to which a large segment of our liberal society has fallen to. We should all take offense to this assault on our moral senses by Ben & Jerry's.
Please send Ben & Jerry's Public Relations Manager, Sean Greenwood, an email letter requesting that no additional Schweddy Balls ice cream be distributed.
You can do that here.
