America's Number 1 Health Terrorists called to task for extreme cultural insensitivity (but not for making people fat)

I am, of course, talking about Ben and Jerry.

DUBLIN (Reuters) - Ice cream makers Ben & Jerry's have apologized for causing offence by calling a new flavor "Black & Tan" -- the nickname of a notoriously violent British militia that operated during Ireland's war of independence.

The ice cream, available only in the United States, is based on an ale and stout drink of the same name.

"Any reference on our part to the British Army unit was absolutely unintentional and no ill-will was ever intended," said a Ben & Jerry's spokesman.

"Ben & Jerry's was built on the philosophies of peace and love," he added.

Peace, love, and making obscene profits while making kids fat.

The Black and Tans, so-called because of their two-tone uniforms, were recruited in the early 1920s to bolster the ranks of the police force in Ireland as anti-British sentiment grew.

They quickly gained a reputation for brutality and mention of the militia still arouses strong feelings in Ireland.

"I can't believe that Ben & Jerry's would be so insensitive to call an ice cream such a name and to launch it as a celebration of Irishness ... it's an insult!" wrote one blogger on www.junkfoodblog.com.

One can only imagine what types of flavors would be available following this precedent (about twelve variations on "Custer Custard" come to mind).

I am hereby launching my jihad against the corporate stooges bent on causing Americans immense pain and bloating our healthcare budgets-----that is, it's time to go to war against Ben and Jerry's, and treat them like we now have to treat the tobacco companies. No more marketing to kids. No more ad campaigns involving clowns. No more pieces of crack sprinkled into "Tookies Surpise."

I'm a llama on a mission.
