Family Research Council nutjob Tony Perkins is railing against candy maker Just Born, Inc. because its latest ad has longtime confectionery couple Mike and Ike splitting. Though the campaign never suggests the duoâs relationship was romantic, Perkins went off during a recent radio spot and criticized the company for âsexualizing candy.â
âItâs just another subtle example of society chipping away at the value of marriage,â he said. âAnd I donât know whatâs more disturbingâthat advertisers think divorce appeals to kids or that sexualizing candy will make people buy more. After a year-long build-up, the company will reveal if the couple reconciles. Until then, look for Mike & Ike to have a distinctly liberal flavor.â
Um, who thinks Tony is revealing more about himself there than anything else?
Well, to irritate Perkins (not that itâs hard to do) Tees with âTude has just released a line of satirical shirts, hats, aprons and other Day-Glo green merchandise bearing the phrase âMike & Ike: The Original Fruity Gay Candy Corrupting The Youth Of America.â
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
A link to the site was sent to Queerty by TWT founder Larry Peck, whoâs also responsible for âChick-fil-gayâ and âGay Marriage Killed the Dinosaursâ shirts.
Weâll take one of everything⌠in extra-small, of course.

I haven’t had Ike & Mike since I was a kid. I was at Walgeens the other day and they had them at the checkout stand. I bought some since Tony (or is it with an “I”) brought to our attention that since the breakup they have been injected with sex. So I got home prepared for an orgasmic experience but alas, it was anti-climatic đ
