You are not stupid.

Should non-brown skinned Corn Pops be offended by the depiction of their entire population being depicted as total goof-offs? Is that how Kellogs views their white workers?

Even this box art is subject to negative criticism...

People should make a bigger stink about food not looking like the photo. Some of the most sorry arsed things come out of nice looking packages.

That can be true of people, too, at times, huh.

Thank you Hondo, you gave me a stupid idea (not that I think asking for the product to look like the advertisement is stupid) for taking customer satisfaction to the extreme.

Call me stupid. :D



You're not stupid. It's stupid we live in a world where people wear their emotions on their sleave and look for any opportunity to say they've been offended. But, that is the world we live in today and I would expect a large corporation to be very aware of this. That is why I was so surprised the cartoon made in onto the box. I mean these are cartoons, not real life and should be taken as such. But, the 1st complainer was a minority and got their 15 minutes of fame. We live in a very irrational world today.

But, the possibility of offending minorities without even knowing it, is very real and present today. Minorities are ready to play the "race card" or the "LGBT" card or the "???? card", as soon as a discussion doesn't go their way. As soon as their opponent can be made to look like a bigot, that discussion is over and any semblance of reason and logic is out the window. Never saw this used much until the big "O" became POTUS and it's been epidemic ever since.

Wait. Have we just found out (see outdoor patio table with al fresco breakfast/luncheon pick-me-up aboard) that good ol' Wayne eats Corn Pops?!
Otherwise, how did they get there and into the bowl? Hhhmmmmm? :D Maybe, the Pops plus the OJ are his pre-biking regimen? 8) Hhmmmm? Hhhhhmmm? :o That would be a whole lot of sugar for so intelligent a fellow. (This observation comes from a guy who just finished a bowl of chocolate-chip (2 scoops) and strawberry (1 scoop) ice cream..... :oops: :roll: :mrgreen: )

Rosie O'Donnell 'seriously' worried if she 'will be able to live through' Trump's presidency
http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/20 ... dency.html

Rosie O'Donnell said her "entire essence and beliefs" were shaken to the core after Trump was elected president in her first interview since the election.

The longtime Trump critic told W Magazine she was in "severe shock" when Trump won and went through "a lot of therapy."

"I was in pure unadulterated [shock], as if I had fallen through the ice on a lake; I was underneath the water, and I couldn’t even see the surface," O'Donnell told the mag. "It was a severe shock to my entire essence and my beliefs in the order in the world, and also the PTSD of having been an abused kid in a family."

She added, "I did a lot of therapy."

The 55-year-old said she was in "pure panic mode" the week following the election but is now just "devastated, disappointed, disheartened, and depressed by the reality of it."

The Hollywood liberal said, "I seriously worry whether I personally will be able to live through" Trump's presidency.

O'Donnell was outspoken about her disdain for Trump during the election, calling him "mentally unstable," among other things.


"mentally unstable," After reading what she said, she is the one that is mentally unstable.

Her daughter that doesn't want to live with her says that living with Rosie is like living in H E L L.

Is the childhood abuse that so many of this type suffered when they were young the same as what we called discipline?
