Wal-Mart’s house brand is “Sam’s Choice”! That means Wal-Mart wants to set up abortion clinics at their stores!

Krispy Kreme shut down here in Houston years ago. Somebody buy a dozen in my honor and spread the wealth, will you?

Hey, gang, I hear that McDonald’s made a press release on Friday that also had nothing to do with abortion rights. Let’s all buy combo meals on Tuesday and _super-size them_! Fuck those pro-lifers, that’ll show them.
Wait! I think Sony didn’t say anything pro-choice last week either! Let’s all buy large-screen TVs…

Are the anti-abortionists whining about them?
This is about sticking it to the whiny crazy anti-abortionists, not about supporting Krispy Kreme.

Dio, I’m with you brother. The correct response to this is to buy donuts from a firm whom we have concluded made no real stand on abortion rights. 😉
WhyNot, I’m with you too, bro! Let’s stick it to them! They _hate_ it when we buy donuts.

I don’t think they’ll actually notice, though.

I actually do understand what you’re saying, really. I thought it myself back on page one. But I suspect this \*thread \*is more about “Look what the 'tards are whining about now!” than actually planning our pastry consumption for Tuesday.
I don’t believe half the posters saying they’ll buy a dozen really will. And I refuse to believe it unless I’m presented with evidence, preferably in the form of a chocolate glazed on my desk from their boxes - although a jelly-filled will do in a pinch.
Oh, and I’m a sis, bro.

If I go Wednesday morning, can I get a morning after doughnut?

I wonder if Krispy Cream will come out with a dead baby flavored, abortion glazed donut. Because I would so do that if I were KC in response.

Wrinkled donut hole smothered in cherry glaze compote.

By doing so, participating Krispy Kreme stores nationwide are celebrating the best of America with America’s best tasty goodies – just another reminder of how oh-so-sweet ‘free’ can be.”

> This is better to me. The whole “choice” idea just seems clunky to me. and the tie in with “free” and “freedom” also seems forced. Not that I read much more into the paragraph it than what is there. But it does seem to me that the forced writing stems from the copywriter starting with the idea of getting “freedom of choice” into the paragraph. Though, not necessarily for the reason having to do with abortion.
From a purely advertising perspective, however, that rewrite omits an important part of the giveaway - that the customer gets to CHOOSE which variety of donut he or she wants, and is not for example stuck with the plain kind. This rewrite would be rejected by your boss. Try again.

Especially key when you remember that Krispy Kreme always gives you a free donut. The treat here is that it’s your \*choice \*of donut, not just the plain glazed that Marge hands you to munch on when you walk in the door before you place an order. Or is my Krispy Kreme the only one that does that?

It ain’t the first time the anti-abortion group has said choice=abortion.
Hell, it ain’t the million time.

So that movie a few years ago shoulda been called **Sophie’s Abortion Access**?
Guess I’ll ponder that while I eat my deep fried sugar kitten with field kitten juice.
