Frito-Lay steps in it: Anti-gun activist featured on Doritos® bag

(the snack foods section of your nearest grocery store) | 4/22/08 | Skibane

Posted on by Skibane

A fellow shooting enthusiast over on the GunsNet forums stumbled on this bag of Doritos® in his local supermarket:

Several of us have contacted Frito-Lay with inquiries as to why their company is promoting incursions on civil liberties as a example of "doing something positive" - Here's a typical reply:

The Hollywood shootout happened because PC, anti-gun politos kept high-power weapons away from the cops. The cops had to borrow the weapons needed from a local gun shop. Ironic that that incident would inspire this guy to found and anti-gun organization.

That’ll be my last bag of Fritos I’ll send my message by discontinuing my purchases of their products. Starting now.

Interesting that he got the “Brick” award. If left up to him, bricks will be all anyone has to defend ourselves. Foolish ba$tard.

OK, so no more Absolut vodka, no more Doritos (just DAMN!), no more Sean Penn, George Clooney, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, Oliver Stone, Michael Moore and God knows how many other “actors”, producers, writers, singers, bands, etc. movies, albums, etc. I'm gonna be all culturally bereft unless we get some right thinking people into the entertainment industry. And by the way,...why do we need “entertainment”. Aren't there enough real things to do in this life? Especially now with the leftists and Islamofascists breathing down our collective necks?

I wonder if they’d feature some activist who advocates a ban on junk food.

Wait until they start giving out “Brick” awards for kids taking a stand against free speech. Maybe they already have.



To: garyhope

Hey... Jon Voight, Gary Sinise, Bruce Willis, Leanne Rimes. How could you ask for more than Leanne Rimes?

That would make a good bumper sticker or T shirt: Combat violence! Shoot back!



To: Skibane

Well, Cathy Dialtone, I’m “not necessarily” ceasing to buy your product because of your promotion of this particular BR!CK, but simply letting you wonder about it.



To: Skibane

The NRA does more to combat violence than his anti-gun group does.



To: Wiseghy

The Hollywood shootout happened because PC, anti-gun politos kept high-power weapons away from the cops. The cops had to borrow the weapons needed from a local gun shop. What's worse is the fact that the shop owner had to almost sue to get the guns back.

I do not believe you, Ms. Dial. Well, I for one am absolutely certain that Frito-Lay would be equally impartial about publicizing the exploits of an industrious student who - for example - started a movement to reinstate slavery, or developed an innovative new marketing model for selling kiddie porn over the internet, or worked tirelessly to promote euthanasia for people born with birth defects...

Does anyone above the age of 15 or anyone older than 15 that cares about their own health eat Doritos®?

"Bread and circuses" (panem et circenses) is an ancient Roman metaphor for people choosing food and fun over freedom. It often appears in commentary that accuses people of giving up their of civic duty and following whichever political leader offers to satisfy their decadent desires.

I like Doritos. You're NOT normal. Those are the hardest thing to sell in the snack aisle.
