Barilla Sells Pasta While Homosexuals Whine

President “Present” is losing his battle to sell the public the idea of buying into Obama Care.   So when the home team is losing, reach across the  ocean to manufacture a phoney outrage, from the Bureau of Concocted Outrage, from Jezebel [1]:

Guido Barilla, the chairman of the world’s largest pasta company, made some crazy, ignorant, and idiotic statements about gay people in a recent radio appearance. Great, now we have to worry about our pasta being actively anti-homosexual because nothing can be easy and the whole world is going to hell in a hand basket woven from Barilla spaghetti.

Her alleged evidence, source [2]:

The chairman of pasta company Barilla went on a Radio24 program to explain the company’s apparent position against depicting gay couples or families in its advertisements. “I would never do (a commercial) with a homosexual family, not for lack of respect but because we don’t agree with them. Ours is a classic family where the woman plays a fundamental role,” Guido Barilla said. The executive also told the program’s hosts that “if the gays do not agree, they can always eat pasta from another manufacturer,” which prompted a swift boycott from advocacy group Equality Italia

The cited quote does indeed show Guido Barilla to be politically incorrect, sobeit. However Jezebel characterized Barilla’s remarks as “crazy, ignorant, and idiotic.” Simply stated, Barilla said that his company policy was not to feature same-sex couples in the company’s advertising. Jezebel is not disputing the accuracy of the remark. Rather Barilla appears to accurately state the policy of the largest selling brand of pasta in the world. It would be more apt to describe Barilla’s policy of one that works quite well.
And you thought liberals were pro-choice.  Speaking of choice, Stacy [3] has apparently made his:

OK, tomorrow we must all go to Food Lion and buy Barilla pasta. Every single box they have in the store.

Moreover, Stacy is not merely content to buy  Barilla.  He is selling it.
