AFA Cranking Up Its Christmas Witch Hunt

‘Tis the season. Since Halloween is almost upon us, the American Family Association has cranked up its annual witch hunt for companies that don’t include Christian messages or symbols in their marketing and advertising materials. In other words, companies that don’t commercialize Christmas by slapping baby Jesuses all over their packaging and ads are somehow bad, according to the AFA (which, by the way has $32 million in dough it has collected from dumb Christians).

The first victim of this season is that godless dough ho’ Mrs. Fields Cookies.

How did this come to the AFA’s attention? An anonymous call:

When Diane H. of Michigan called Mrs. Fields and asked to speak with a supervisor in customer service about why they banned Christmas, the supervisor told Diane that they do not offer anything with Merry Christmas because they don’t want to offend anyone.

Then Don “Wildman” Wildmon, chair of AFA, called for a boycott of Mrs. Fields products.

But if you go to Mrs. Fields’ Web site, it’s Xmas stuff out the wazoo. Did Mrs. Fields cave in just a day to the AFA’s bullying? Lord no:

So all Mrs. Fields is really guilty of is having the good taste to not start hawking its Xmas goods until after Halloween. Shucks, the AFA bully boys must be disappointed — “Curses! Foiled again!”

Use the AFA’s own mail-out system to send a letter of support to Mrs. Fields by going here.

  1. You know what bugs me about these “Christmas is under attack” people? They want everyone to ditch Halloween in favor of “Harvest” or some such bullshit motif, but if you even try to say “Happy Holidays” to your Jewish friends or anyone else you are a pagan. Seasons Frickin’ Greetings, you assholes.

  2. The whole “War on Xmas” (Oops!) Is so unbelieveably rediculous it’s hard not to laugh when the holidays roll around and once again the “Christians” start up this goofy nonsense. It sincerely is difficult to believe that these folks spend SO MUCH money, time and energy on something that means NOTHING. If they were true Christians they would be discreetly donating that money and redirecting their energies working with the poor as the Bible instructs. Christians? Hardly.
