why I boycott..

M&Ms.

About 3 years ago, I began to boycott M&Ms because the candies were playing strip poker in a television ad. It was cute but it was also just at the end of prime time on a weekend and I really didn't believe that kids would be asleep and I really didn't think playing strip poker or people in their underwear was an appropriate why to sell candy. There was no link to this ad on their website as the website is pretty much designed for kids. But when I emailed, my concern, instead of the patronizing thank you for your response, we will consider it; they responded, "this is our society". I disagree and emailed that I would no longer purchase their product, thank you.

Today, they are still using nudity to sell candy and I still will not purchase them.

Thank you

For Discussion

Cold is the absence of heat; so is evil the absence of good? What would absolute zero good look like? Evil maybe? Or is there some force that is unequivocally evil?

This question began when a theology student called the snake in the garden (Gen 3) evil. (I recently heard a minister call the snake; satan) But,no where does it say the serpent is evil; crafty and later on cursed.

As I discussed this with people around me, it soon became evident that there were several connotations of evil. So we began to try to pin that down. I am interested in your input.
