‘Lickable’ Breyers Ad
Status: Hoax
You may feel that you need to scrub your eyeballs after seeing this supposed ad for Breyers ice cream, so if you click on the link don't say I didn't warn you. (The ad is disturbing for what it suggests, not for what it actually shows.) However, the ad definitely isn't real, which is obvious if you read the text on the right-hand side of it. I don't know who created it, but it wasn't Breyers. Unfortunately the image is now circulating around the internet in a reduced size that makes the text hard to read, leading some people to think that it might actually be a real ad.

What a sicko (whoever created the ad). At first glance, a normal person may not think twice about it - two cute girls bending over, what's the big deal (i have a daughter who does that all the time). I actually read the ad...the worst part is "...our young feminine gymnasts who are eagerly busting their fresh asses to make every American proud."

WTF? This guy (it has to be a guy I think) is obviously a pedo. Perhaps this was meant as one of the following:
1) Satire about our obsessive fear of pedofiles and child moesters
2) A parody for other pedofiles that was only meant for the underground
3) A malicous attempt by a pedo or otherwise demented person to mess with people's minds. Hey - it worked.

Hey, if we all didn't have sick minds ourselves, we'd never see anything wrong with the ad.

What the Ad says:
Luscious, smooth, sweet and fun. These are just a few of the words we used to describe our new Vanilla Orange Sherbert Creamsicle. These words also aply equally to America's 2005 Olympic Rhythmic Gymnastics Team and the beautiful young ladies that comprise it. In responce, Breyers has created a flavour inspired by the sassy metallic orange leotards of our young feminine gymnists who are eagerly busting their fresh asses to make every American proud. And of course, our RSG themed Creamsicle is as fun to eat as the girls are a pleasure to watch! So come join in on the action. All proceeds to sales from the Vanilla Orange Sherbert Swirls line go to help sponsor our young ladies in competition against other rhythmic gymnists from around the world.

my interpetation:
I think this was just a joke... or a parody in general, nothing that was meant to harm other people or support child molestation. Its pretty harmless.. it's light hearted. Yeah, its really wrong, but its just for laughs I think.

I'm with Seth in thinking it's a satire, but I think maybe it's commenting on the fact that we live in a pedophile obsessed/paranoid society, and yet we don't see anything at all suspicious about putting underage girls in leotards and having them do gymnastics in front of stadium crowds or on national TV. No, I don't think we should stop letting girls do gymnastics, but I do think maybe some people ought to think a little more about what messages and visuals they are sending to those pedophiles out there.

Fred, If we restrict innocent fun because of the vanishingly small percentage of pedophiles in society, we're hurting our society all out of proportion to the potential evil.

A picture like this is pushing the envelope, but gymnastics as a sport? You must be kidding.

Alex, the blog has removed the page about the spoof ad.

Hm, for myself I reckon it's just a bad-taste joke, intended to shock. Sure it could have satirical and/or political intent but my guess is it's nothing so sophisticated. Humourists (Andy Kaufland for example) have always delighted in breaking taboos, often in ways that cause deep offense to many; the creator of this is doing just that. Judging from the responses here most people are not ready to find it funny, but that's often the way. When you're testing the boundaries of what is acceptable it's easy enough to take a step too far. I very much doubt that the creator of this is a paedophile, though. That seems to me to be paranoia.

I remember SNL, or something similiar, doing a skit one time about "comedy killers". Their big one was cancer. Who would have ever guessed implicit pedophilia would be in such a catagory. I like Family Guy and South Park, but really, sometimes we need to be honest and just ask "what the hell kind of crap is that?".

Duke Leto, in my Maxthon browser, if I have clicked the little star icon down the bottom to make each page open separately, then the popup won't open. If I unclick it, no problems. Check it out. Maybe your browser has a similar feature...

Nothing wrong with the satirical ad.

I think most people in America are obsessed with sex and youth and yet they can't see it for themselves.

Explain me this: why do we have Miss Universe and Miss World swimsuit contests? Because of the candidates' sex-appeal, obviously (and yet they're so damn boring to watch only women and gays probably watch those airheads parading on high heels).

So why do you people have all these 'beauty pageants' of young girls parading in sexy outfits and balancing on high heels? What's the purpose of pimping up a five-year old to make her look like a seventeen-year old?

Pedophiles like kids the same way you like your girlfriends. The same. But its up to sick mind to decribe it as you wish.

Didn't quite get it, at first; until I read the article, and noticed they aren't licking the ice cream from their fingers. I think the real question is If indeed the pictures are of real gymnasts, and not an almagam of pictures to give the impression of such, why would a photographer take pics like that, and why would the parents allow it?

I have a 10 year old niece in gymnastics. I've seen them do poses like this all the time during their warm-up exercises. More than likely this is what the original photo was of. Who knows if the names are even real, probably not. So the actual taking of the picture could have been completely innocent, just a couple young gymnasts doing their warm-up stretches before competition or practice. The question is WHY would someone put those words with that photo..and why target Breyer's? The answers to those questions will probably never be known. I just feel sorry for the girls, whose innocent fun was turned into something sick. Hope their classmates never see this.
As for the comment regarding gymnastics not being a sport.. trust me, these kids are athletes! My niece is only in her second season of competition and she works 9 hours a week at the gym doing VERY physically demanding routines. The older girls who are in the higher competition levels.. the stuff they can do amazes me. They have to have complete control over every muscle in their body at all times. Much harder if you ask me than just running into someone wearing a bunch of pads!

When I first saw the so called ad, I thought it was for real but it didn't take me long to realise it wasn't.

Yes it's a parody.

It does give me a reason to point out something interesting. I've always wondered why we as a society think that sexualizing young people as wrong but then have female gymnast wearing leotards like that and I specifically said "female" because male gymnasts do not wear anything like that.

This is the same type of thing that we do in other sports and activities such as tennis, ice skating and even cheerleading. In each one of those, females could wear the same type of outfits males wear to compete or perform but they don't and most people expect girls to be wearing the "sexy" outfits.

I just wonder if maybe deep down inside almost all of us are pedophiles and use things like gymnastics as a way justify having young girls appear sexually attractive.

Its a fun photo of two cute and innocent girls with their cute butts in the air. Get over it. If you imediately think its a sexy photo then you have a problem.

Whoever made up the words was fully aware of the completely unfounded paranoia that swirls around society these days like a freekin cancer, and he/she wanted to make people think a little more about that paranoia. We should all think about the damage that this paranoia is doing to our kids. They dont play outside anymore do they . . . . thats your fault, not theirs. Forget the pedos, theres more of a chance of them being hit by the space shuttle than being damaged for life by some weirdo.

The fact that its advertising a product of the USA told me straight away that it was fake. If it was made in Europe somewhere then I probably would have believed it and still thought it was cute, although the word arse was a little out of place.

If they used the word butts, I would have fallen for it. I think there should be more of this humor and conversation, but that wont happen will it.
