Even old Ben and Jerry can't help but run afoul of Linsanity. SMH (controversial, Obama)

Proof that this Linsanity thing has gone off the charts.

Ben & Jerry

Here is the best part of the piece:

"The move comes days after the Asian American Journalists Association released media guidelines about how to cover Lin. "Is there a compelling reason to draw a connection between Lin and fortune cookies, takeout boxes or similar imagery?," they wrote. "In the majority of news coverage, the answer will be no."

LMAO...this stuff is great.

As long as the media can keep Americans destracted with this kind of garbage they think no one will notice the real damage being done to our country and our economy by the Obama administration.

Read the article. It's about political correctness run amok. Ben & Jerry's was having some fun - & making some money - with the whole Jeremy Lin craze. Someone was offended (and NOT Lin) that bits of fortune cookie were in the product, so B&J decided to alter it, replacing the fortune cookie with bits of waffle cone.

Can't wait till our society and media develop seriousissues-sanity. It's like as soon as one celebrity infatuation settles down (kardashians?) a new one quickly fills the void. Can't we at least have a breather?
