I don't know about you guys, but I cracked up when I learned that Ben & Jerry's was going to be releasing a Schweddy Balls flavor. But apparently some people aren't amused.
Maybe it's just me, but it seems like no one told One Million Moms that Ben & Jerry's knows people offended by gay marriage and testicle jokes aren't their target customer base in the first place.

The folks at One Million Moms, which is affiliated with the right-wing Christian group American Family Association, have decided they’re not going to stand for double entendre-laced desserts. “The vulgar new flavor has turned something as innocent as ice cream into something repulsive."
In the past, Ben & Jerry's has released controversial ice creams, like a special edition of Chubby Hubby called Hubby Hubby last year which celebrated gay marriage. It seems that offending customers has become an annual tradition for Ben & Jerry's.

But. They do have a point. It IS vulgar. It's just that most of us are unfazed by this sort of thing considering what's out there on TV or the internet.
Take this for example: Ceri Rees - The X Factor 2011 Auditions
How low can they sink? (And that's supposed to be entertainment these days.) Why don't they complain about this?
