Ben & Jerry to Carrie Prejean and other homophobic assholes: Suck it. Enjoy some Hubby Hubby ice cream.
We’d go the distance and say it more eloquently, and blah blah blah, but in the end, that’s what it’s all about. Ben & Jerry, libs that they are, think dudes and chicks should be able to same-marriage.
SCFOM to all the fat pieces of crap out there who are now undoubtedly pissed off that a couple fat pieces of crap in Vermont would crap up their favorite way to get fat: Which is stronger, your love of ice cream, or your hatred of homos? What a conundrum!
Fear not, gay bashers. A little thing called labeling prevents you from facing this affront directly:
The move is mostly symbolic, as Burlington-based Ben & Jerry’s isn’t changing labels on “Chubby Hubby” pints sold in stores.
Spokesman Sean Greenwood said revising product labels takes 18 months, although he said Ben & Jerry’s hasn’t ruled out retailing “Hubby Hubby” in the future.
In the meantime, a wedding-themed Ben & Jerry’s truck will hand out free “Hubby Hubby” across Vermont today. Scheduled stops include the Vermont Capitol, where lawmakers passed a gay-marriage law that takes effect today.
That should make this guy happy (which is to say, unhappy):
[T]he name change is giving gay-marriage opponents an ice cream headache. “It’s a bad idea, especially because I think they’re just doing it to rub it in that Vermont has legalized gay marriage,” said Brian Camenker of MassResistance.org.
One person’s bad idea is another person’s (or company’s) good idea. If we were going to choose an ice cream on any given day, it would probably be some form of Häagen-Dazs. But today? Ben & Jerry‘s, please! Huzzah!
