Ben & Jerry's renames their popular flavor "Hubby Hubby" to celebrate marriage equality.
It's not even so much the marriage equality angle that thrills me--though it's definitely something worth supporting--as it is the fact that Ben & Jerry's isn't afraid of promoting controversial causes for fear of losing business.

how do they pack that much fudge into every spoonful?
Is this ice cream filled with subtle homosexual symbolism is that just me?
I really need some Chunky Monkey.
My parents used to have a couple Mormon missionaries over for dinner every week--this was their favorite dessert. Not anymore, I guess? 
Mormon missionaries for dessert? Ugh. I would have them for the appetizer.
Opportunity knocks.

I don't get it. "Chubby Hubby" was heterosexual? Can gay men not marry fat gay men? DISCRIMINATION!!
*Edit: This reminds me of a girl I fancied back in college, who nicknamed me her chubby hubby. Which I didn't care for, obviously, but I guess it was meant harmlessly. I wonder if it would have been a different nickname had we met a few years later? One thing's for sure; she's a lot chubbier than me now

Meh, Ben and Jerry's is overpriced. For grocery store ice cream I think Haagen-Dazs is far better.

I actually prefer Haagen Dazs flavors. Ben & Jerry's flavors are just too...busy for me. Too much stuff in them. I like my ice cream a bit more basic (except for the occasional foray into moose tracks.)
However, I really do admire a company with the balls to take a stand on controversial matters, even at the risk of driving away some of their business.
It's Ben & Jerry! How did anyone not see this coming? It'd be like if Siegfried & Roy started poking each other with sticks instead of their tigers for their act.
