Ben & Jerry’s serves up hypocrisy

http://twitter.com/#!/benandjerrys/status/185450485120122880

Hmmmkay. So. Not only are Ben, Jerry et al. celebrating monster-sized sundaes (what would Michelle Obama say if she knew?!), but they’re also using ice cream to go after Citizens United. It’s all about, like, keeping the dough out of politics! Get it?

President @BarackObama we just topped off the 65-scoop sundae with #VT activists to say Get the Dough Out of Politics! http://t.co/cUVHAEVA

Except, well, Ben and Jerry failed to live up to their own standards. See, just since 2007, the ice cream mavens have graciously allowed plenty of their dough into politics.

Let’s take a look at Jerry’s political contributions first, shall we?

And now, let’s look at Ben’s:

According to our calculations, that makes a combined $51,550 to Democratic politicians, PACs, and the Democratic Party. That’s a whole lotta dough-nations! Eh? Eh? See what we did there?

Ben and Jerry had better grab a coupla of big ol’ spoons; they’ve got a whoooole lotta words to eat.

You may remember when Twitchy reported the backlash Beadle received after calling out Stephen A. Smith for his earlier remarks about Rice, for which he was suspended. ‘The gates on Mouthbreatherville have been breached’: Michelle Beadle slammed following Stephen A. Smith’s suspension. Now Smith is going to be on TV talking about the Ray Rice domestic violence story again. What could go wrong?

Rapper Machine Gun Kelly: ‘I need a sex slave in the basement’

http://twitter.com/#!/machinegunkelly/status/339386464083275776

Rappers are not always known for their sensitivity, but coming on the heels of the Cleveland sex slave case, this tweet is a bit much. Making matters worse, Machine Gun Kelly once lived in Cleveland.

A few Twitter users called the rapper out:

Most fans, however, not only saw nothing wrong with the tweet, they volunteered for service:
