lol Well, like I said, Frosted Flakes makes my whole discomfort with the history a little moot. I'll confess the knowledge of the product makes straight Kellogg's Corn Flakes a hard buy, but I don't like them anyway (the frosting makes ALL the difference. I'm very much a sugary cereal type of guy). Nothing lost. I owe way too many childhood breakfasts to Tony the Tiger to completely shut them off. Ultimately, yes, the events are so far in the past that it's irrelevant, and as a hungry college student, I'll basically eat anything that isn't home to disease or parasites, so....

If memory serves, his ideology wasn't anti-sex as much as it was anti-pleasure. Sex to him was a biological function equivalent to a sneeze. Anything beyond that was sinful. I don't particularly care what he thought about it, but some of the things he advocated (and thus were done) make me sick.
