Now the pearls are being clutched over ice cream.

More fake outrage.

“We offer a heartfelt apology if anyone was offended by our handmade Lin-Sanity flavor,” the store said. “We are proud and honored to have Jeremy Lin hail from one of our fine, local universities and we are huge sports fans. Our intention was to create a flavor to honor Jeremy Lin's accomplishments and his meteoric rise in the NBA, and recognize that he was a local Harvard graduate.


Oh my, I think I have the vapors.

Edited to omit: "courtesy of the left". I misread the following...shall now eat crow. (no offense to those who find eating crow offensive)
"As it turns out, the company chose vanilla frozen yogurt and lychee honey swirls for its limited edition "Taste of Lin-Sanity" flavor. Because Lin, you know, is Taiwanese-American. Emphasis, apparently, on the left side of that hyphen. At least there aren't any fortune cookies in there. Anymore."

1. Some people are just looking for something to offend them.

6. I find that post offensive.

And I didn't even have to look.

2. How do you know it was courtesy of the left?

Why does that outrage/offense taken to Lin-Sanity flavor, have to have a political label?

Unless, I missed it, "More fake outrage...this time courtesy of the left" was not in the article. In fact it was not politicized at all as far as I could tell. The article was placed in a Sports Column.

3. I guess I missed the part about "the left" ginning up fake outrage.

Did you just make up that part or do you know about some additional facts not contained in the story?

4. I'm guessing this is related to a long post in H&M regarding some DUers

taking offense at the term "clutching at pearls".
