What's up with all the Oreo controversy threads today? I can't remember anyone discussing Oreos this much since 3rd Grade...

The only one offended would be the likes of Al Sharpton, because the teet and baby are white. Maybe big Al can pose for the next ad with a baby suckling his big flabby booby. That should calm things down.

Look again, they're Asian, not White.

I read that the image was never to be used in any public advertising campaign in the USA.

And was not meant for the public to see.

Quote:
Food giant Kraft, owner of Nabisco (the firm which produces Oreos), has swiftly moved into damage limitation mode, with a representative assuring ABC News that Kraft had no part in creating the advert.

The spokesperson also denied that the ad had run in South Korea or any other country. The ad has been attributed to Cheil Worldwide, an independent advertising agency.
Oreo Breast Milk Ad Should Never Have Gone Public, Says Kraft

I'm not seeing the issue here. Is it the itty bit of nipple protruding from the infant's mouth? The breast itself? The breastfeeding aspect?

Really, this is the food ad people are freaking out about? But Kate Upton practically rubbing her cleavage with a messy burger is okay? Boobs on a hot chick=hot, but boobs in a baby's mouth=gross??

Most of us were not raised with the idea that the human body is in any way offensive. It's what people do that is offensive.

Btw there is nothing wrong with the ad beyond the fact that it is just kinda dumb.
you've pretty much said what I'm thinking except I do think the ad is kinda cute.
