Remember when Alex Jones decided that juice boxes made you gay? This is a lot like that. An astute Newsmax host has discovered a degenerate breakfast cereal, which surely can only do your children harm, with its rainbow colors and glitter. His intent is to get you to boycott the manufacturer, along with boycotting Coke and Ben & Jerry’s for their “annoying” woke views.
Does anybody serve their kids cereal floating in Coke and with ice cream on the side? A cereal float for breakfast, maybe? Just wondering.

I hate to break it to this guy, but a lot of short movie stars wear Cuban heels, which make them three inches taller. Happens all the time.
I don’t think kids are going to become confused about gender from a breakfast cereal. The only angst I ever heard about kids and gender was from gay or lesbian friends who shared that they knew that’s who they were from a very early age and that it wasn’t okay to be that way. That’s the problem.
This is pure homophobia. It all goes back to the gay as conscious decision foible, as opposed to gay being the way some people are naturally. Newsmax, and the other homophobes, are afraid that a kid will become encouraged to be gay, again, as if it was a matter of simple choice.
In all events, it’s about fear. Let’s make everybody afraid that their kids will turn out gay if they eat edible glitter. And it’s about backlash. The other tribe boycotted products, so now we’ll boycott them, ha ha.
And it’s interesting that the Lucky Charms icon is being called gay, because if that’s the case, it proves how harmless this all is. Lucky Charms has been around since the late sixties, so clearly it’s harmless — unless, wait, it’s the leprechaun’s fault a whole generation of people became not only gay, but gay activists as well. Ya spose? It’s all the leprechaun’s fault? The Lucky Charms leprechaun has acted as the pied piper, leading children to a gay lifestyle and we’re only just finding out now?
The Dr. Suess debacle ran for over a week on Fox News. Let’s see what kind of a run Newsmax gets out of this one.
It’s irritating when people aren’t just bigoted and evil, but also incompetently inaccurate. Lucky the Leprechan doesn’t wear tights, he has black or green men’s slacks, and he doesn’t wear high heels, he has pretty plain men’s hard shoes with a good buckle.
Correction: looking it up, his shoes are low-heel monk-strap brogue men’s dress shoes. I know that none of you were going to be able to make it through the day without verifying this essential piece of clearly non-trivial information.
But are they wingtip or longwing? The illustration style doesn’t go into enough detail to ascertain the perforations in the leather, so I’m afraid that will be a mystery for the ages.
17th or 18th century style shoes: the buckle was how they fastened.
Yes…I now know too much about shoes because I was bored waiting on a computer file transfer and read three articles, LOL. Laces were invented in 1790 and within 30 years became the dominant fastener.
A brogue shoe refers to it being a low heel men’s shoe with a fastener of some sort, and a shoe material attached to a separate sole. Monk strap refers to any brogue using buckle fasteners…there are three other types that use laces, with each type having distinctions in how the leather and laces are configured. Then there would always be perforations in some pattern on the tip…the layout and how far these extend back define one of four major tip styles.
I think as a millennial I developed some sort of morbid fascination with men’s dress shoes in reading this…I have only ever worn sneakers of various types in working, and only ever would. Reading about it is like seeing some ancient, archaic practice that is still in place for some…sort of like of businessmen still wore powdered wigs and cravats. The idea of a wretchedly polished strip of ugly leather nailed to a stiff plank that you force onto your foot is very foreign to me.
Just ojn a side note – the word ‘brogue’ is an anglicisation of ‘brog’ which, believe it or not, is simply the Irish word for shoe (ANY shoe, irrespective of style)

Monty python’s skit where the townspeople dress up a woman & put a carrot over her nose & want her burned as a witch, comes to mind. Eventually the magistrate brought dark ages logic to the situation & she was determined to be made of wood, since it floats, & she weighed the same as a duck. So she was taken off to be burned. Republican intelligence at work.
Here we go – it’s Tele Tubbies all over again.
But I luvs me Lucky Charms.
