We really need to stop letting words bother us so much... (by WalkSoftly)

"" Ben & Jerry’s is considering
changing the name of its “Hazed &
Confused” ice cream after anti-
hazing activists complained the
flavor belittled the deadly problem on
college campuses.""

"" Ben & Jerry’s released the ice cream
flavor in February and didn’t receive
a complaint until more than six
months later. Lianne and Brian
Kowiak of Tampa, Florida, whose 19-
year-old son died in a hazing
incident in 2008, noticed an ad for
the ice cream and sent an e-mail to
Ben & Jerry’s on Sept. 5.
“I just paused and I was shocked and
we were dismayed,” said Lianne
Kowiak, who speaks to students and
families about the dangers of hazing.
“I was just upset about it.”"
Link.

Jesus H. Christ, its just frickin ice cream.....too many got dam victims these days......pussification of America at its finest.

Ben & Jerry’s is considering changing the name of its
“Hazed & Confused” ice cream after anti-hazing
activists complained the flavor belittled the deadly
problem on college campuses.
Management will discuss the name at an October
global leadership meeting, said Sean Greenwood, a
spokesman for the South Burlington, Vermont-based
company, which is owned by Unilever NV . The moniker
was never meant to refer to hazing, he said. It’s a play
on hazelnuts and the phrase “dazed and confused,”
made famous by a Led Zeppelin song and 1993
coming-of-age comedy.
