Jerry Falwell Lashes Out at Mr. Peanut

Those adorable Fundies are at it again! Remember how they boycotted Disney, thus bringing them to their knees (in prayer, natch!)? Wait a minute, did somebody say that boycott had no effect whatsoever? Blasphemy!

Well, now Jerry Falwell wants his minions to boycott Kraft Foods, for having the good business sense temerity to co-sponsor the 2006 Gay Games in Chicago. Oh, I just bet the executives at Kraft, whose brands include Planters Peanuts (see above), Post Cereals, Oscar Meyer, Kool-Aid, Jell-o and Maxwell House, are simply quaking in their Gucci loafers. Or not:

"We are standing behind our sponsorship," said Alyssa Burns, a Kraft spokeswoman. "It's something we want to support."
