One Million Moms Group Says New Skittles Ad Promotes Bestiality [VIDEO] [POLL]

Remember When They Targeted Ellen DeGeneres? Now They're Hating on Candy

Oh, One Million Moms, how you do go on. The group that made hatelines, er, headlines, earlier this year with their campaign against Ellen DeGeneres being a spokeswoman for J.C. Penney, is now mounting a campaign against Skittles.

Yes, the candy.

And it's not for the reasons you think. No, One Million Moms isn't speaking out how the rainbow-hued treat's sugar content. The group is ticked off about the latest Skittles commercial, which depicts a woman kissing a walrus.

The takeaway from the ad -- it seems obvious to us -- is that you can't always tell what's on the inside from what's on the outside.

But One Million Mom's takeaway: the Skittles people want to convince you that bestiality is  okay.

Sigh.

In a missive headlines "Disgusting Skittles Ad" at the One Million Moms website, the group writes, "We are not sure of Skittles' thought process behind their new ad, but if they are attempting to offend customers, they have succeeded. Skittles' newest 'Walrus' commercial includes a teen girl making out with a walrus. The two are on a sofa in an apartment kissing on the mouth when her shocked roommate walks in on them.

"Parents find this type of advertising inappropriate and unnecessary. Does Skittles have our children's best interest in mind? Skittles candies are for all ages, but their target market is children. Skittles Marketing Team may have thought this was humorous, but not only is it disgusting, it is taking lightly the act of bestiality. Let Skittles know their new ad is irresponsible."

The group then asks those who agree to write an email to the Skittles folks (via Wrigley and Mars, Inc., which owns the brand) to share their displeasure and disgust with the ad.

Bottom line: Is the ad gross? Yes. And very silly. And, because the sight of a woman making out with a walrus is gross, not at all likely to make anyone want to run out and buy a bag of Skittles or any other food product. So, epic fail by Skittles by that measure.
