CELEB: Ben and Jerry's Creams for Colbert

I scream, you scream, Stephen Colbert screams for ice cream...

“Stephen Colbert’s Americone Dream" is the newest tasty treat courtesy of Ben & Jerry’s—the environment-friendly ice cream company lauded for its wacky flavors named after famous folks ("Cherry Garcia" after Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia and "Phish Food" after the stoner, jam-band Phish, amongst others.)

A spokesperson for the company called the new flavor, “The sweet taste of liberty in your mouth.” Thank god they didn't call it "The sweet taste of Colbert in your mouth."

but the real question is:

does it have 110% of your Daily Value of Truthiness?

sounds like a good flavor too.

The bits should be eagle shaped. Or why not vanilla, strawberry, blueberry?

What are you? French?

Ben and Jerry's was bought by the oil company Uniliver back in 2000. Unilever is an extremely environmentally destructive company. For just one example, in 2001 Greenpeace forced Unilever tp admit tp toxic dumping. Furthermore, Unilever is under continued pressure for their use of child labor in India.

they do however, make damn good ice cream.

apparently your flavor would be chockful of website links.

Huh? This has been on Digg and slashdot a few times over the past couple of weeks.

Bleh. We dont get Ben and Jerry's in this country.

Its one thing to buy essential or semi-essential items from an oil company. Its another thing to buy non-essential items from them while being sold the lie that they are an "environmentally friendly" company. They go out of their way to disguise the fact that they are principally a petrol company.

I hate hippies.

I do however, love yummy ice creams with kitschy themes in small tubs that make me feel like a giant (or a 40 year old woman watching Lifetime).

Take that as you wish.

And this is Ben & Jerry's fault how?

Trees make ice cream, and since the fatty ice cream made the fatty executives fattier, they get their REVENGE ON THE ENVIRONMENT.

it makes perfect sense. you either get it or you don't.

Oh yes, and it nullifies all money their company (subsidiary or not) ever put towards environmentalist actions they've donated.

ok, bump the politics!

who here would like to also see eagle shaped marshmellow pieces inside the ice cream like someone mentioned earlier!!!?
i think that would be kick ass for this perticular ice cream. although i don't think Jr. would like it too much...

Hell no! Eagles are for admiring, not for eating, even little marshmallow ones.

Little BEARS would be something else though... Godless killing machines...

Hmmm, this flavor sounds a lot like Haagen Daaz' Caramel Cone ice cream. Did I add enough a's to that?

Vanilla ice cream, fudge-covered waffle pieces, caramel together?

*unnnffff*

Excuse me, I need to go get a towel.

I have, in fact, wanted to spoon Stephen...
So thank you.

forget environmentalism Ben and Jerrys starting sucking when it was bought out. just look at the fucking ingredients. liquid sugar? i haven't eaten it and not gotten nausous since.

I think the ice cream should have actual eagle meat in it and bits of the constitution. Yum.

By selling the company to an environmentally unfriendly company? You need to consent in order for someone to buy you out.

That Colbert. He's such an American hero. First he single handedly helped triple the elephant population, and now this. I tip my hat to you, sir.

Delicious, unreliable, website links.
Mmmmmmm
