Katelynn · 21st Jul 2012, 09:25 PM

Im beginning to wonder if there isnt anything these people wont boycott besides the Westboro Baptist Church... lol!

Bradley · 21st Jul 2012, 09:31 PM

When will people just start ignoring these nutjobs...

**thecat06** · 21st Jul 2012, 09:37 PM

And... this is a surprise...

Hypnotico · 21st Jul 2012, 10:03 PM

One Million Moms, ha!, then why does their Twitter account only have 1,848 followers? Are they rounding up to the nearest millionth?

Aielar · 21st Jul 2012, 10:04 PM

OMM is well past the point of ridiculous now, and I hope no sane person actually takes them seriously lol.

AshenAngel · 21st Jul 2012, 10:07 PM

What the fuck? I swear, if these lunatics could take every LGBTQ off of this earth, you know they would. I've never seen such a stubborn group of bigots in my life! First the rainbow Oreo's, now this? Really, bitches?

Don't let them get to you, they're not "1 million moms".

Level75 · 21st Jul 2012, 10:17 PM

This is going to go something like their JC Penny boycott, right?

**Chip** · 21st Jul 2012, 10:34 PM

I think "One Million Moms" is sort of like Jerry Falwell's Moral Majoriity of the 1970s. As the bumperstickers of the time said, "The Moral Majority is neither." And I think it's the same for the Million Moms. Maybe they should spend more time being good mothers and less time being bigots

SkyDiver · 21st Jul 2012, 10:40 PM

I'm becoming more and more convinced that OMM is just a clever attempt to give more business and publicity to certain companies and products.

In all seriousness, this is just getting beyond ridiculous. I'll savor the moment we get to watch hate groups like this crash and burn.

The Escapist · 21st Jul 2012, 10:59 PM

Yeah.. I want to watch that show but I'm not a fan of Ryan Murphy at the moment.
Oh say something relevant? I really have nothing to say, I can't see any seriousness in this group right now.

Tim · 21st Jul 2012, 11:34 PM

I think OMM actually does more good than "sabotage" for things they boycott. So honestly, I'm happy when I see one of these.

Cause their boycotts always fail horrendously.

ANightDude · 21st Jul 2012, 11:38 PM

All they do is bring more attention to the thing they decide to boycott, eventually leading to more supporters. So it might just be a positive thing in a way.

Kidd · 22nd Jul 2012, 12:32 AM

At some point they're just going to collapse under the weight of all these boycotts. They're going to be naked, starving, and completely cut off from society, forever stuck in the backwater hell holes these troglodytes call home.

I mean, really think about all the different companies that support LGBT rights--Pepsi, Kraft, Coke, practically every single airline under the sun, Microsoft, Apple, Google, GM, Ford, Toyota, Abercrombie, JC Penny, Levi, Barnes and Noble, ABC, NBC. Those are just off the top of my head. There must be hundreds or more.

OMM is just screwed. They're 30 years too late for this kind of anti-gay activism.

Honestly it's sad when they have more followers than me...though I'm at 1,219 so I'm catching up!

tennbad70 · 22nd Jul 2012, 12:51 PM

I keep thinking...more like "one million bigots" although I'm trying to get out of the habit of thinking like that...but it is difficult. Anyway I'm looking forward to The New Normal.
