Kellogg's
Perhaps the sickest of all, no one has put out more evil cartoon characters
Snap Crackle and Pop
Three elves that live in alone and make cereal... I personally have no problem with the portrayal of homosexuals to young children. In fact think it might be a good idea to help break down some of the social hang-ups we have. But putting a homosexual menage e' trois on the air every saturday morning is a little over the top. Not to mention the use of such blatant stereotypes can only add to discrimination. What makes this so sad is that Kellogg's had the potential to dispel the hatred and misunderstanding between the gay and straight community, and instead exasorbated it.
A little know fact is that Pop is actually wearing an old style military hat, raising the question of gays in the military.
Tony the Tiger
Let's see, if your a failure at life then eat sugary white flakes, your life will get better and you'll be able to succeed at anything...can we say drug pusher. And they wonder why steroid use is up. Think people.
Toucan Sam
If that nose Isn''t phallic...and he was selling tasty, fruity loops...you do the math. In addition, the sterotypical portrayal of a large nosed bird who is constantly hoarding from those around him has potential classic stereotypical anti-semetic undertones. It's really sick that kind of thing still exists in this day and age.
Dig'em (suggested by Krist Killer)
The Honey Smacks Frog is always after his smacks. He has to have his
Smacks. Smack is drug slang for heroin. And I believe frog or froggy is
slag also, but I'm not sure.
