Meh, chocolate will never be a health food. Would be pretty awesome if people would start realizing that Mars makes a lot of really inferior chocolate, though...

Well aware. The parade floats are a hoot.

There's no reason for this thread - or for the debate - to exist, except for right-wingers being horrendously offended that their whims aren't being catered to any more.
Wrong! Right wingers are merely reacting to this ridiculousness, they didn't start this. It started when the liberals in the Mars' marketing dept., or whoever it was that made this decision, became offended by the bully M&M and the sexy M&M.

Right wingers just think this is stupid and it is.

It's a non story. You'd think the Fox Wannabe Network would have better things to do.

That's what "horrendously offended" means. Taking offense is a reaction.

The network that invented "War on Christmas"? They'll milk this for every single second of airtime they can.
