An inept protest against 'teh flaming gay' has gone viral, although I doubt the guy has the intellect to appreciate the irony of setting himself and the grass on fire as a gay metaphor.
One has to wonder what kind of ill-advised choice of accelerant was used on the cheerios, since they are obviously not usually so flammable. It raises the question if beverage alcohol was involved, and not just on the cheerios to make them light but on the inside of the protester.
What sort of person thinks it is clever to make a video while wearing a wrinkled, slovenly and so very gay pink shirt in front of the headquarters of Pillsbury, and then posts it to Youtube? What kind of really STUPID bigot tries to set fire, with a small blow torch, to cheerios while pouring them into a tacky PLASTIC BOWL?
HOW DUMB IS THIS GUY? Does he NOT know plastic melts? Did he think that he wouldn't be identified? His tremendous cowardice, as they do this ...........and then RUNS AWAY!!!!!!!!!!! in an unintentionally comedic self-rout is far from an example of moral courage.
I think we have the answer to our questions! It is a combination anti-gay protest and audition tape!
If one is making a corporate protest..........make a corporate protest! This appears to be either dawn or dusk, not a protest made while anyone is around to see it, and intended to avoid and evade any corporate security.
Make a peaceful protest where the company can take notice of your actions, and the larger public can take notice of your actions, and where you own those actions with pride. Doing something clandestine and then running away giggling like first grade girls is silly; it lacks any moral conviction.
Why run away, when clearly if you post it to Youtube, people are going to know what you did anyway? This action hardly persuades someone who might be undecided or still open to considering both sides before making a decision that the cheerios flamer is an intelligent, thoughtful, or ethical human being. This 'protest' is more in line with teenagers drunkenly toilet papering someone's house and then running away giggling, not making a 'righteous' protest.
It serves this guy right that for setting the General Mills lawn on fire, and then running away instead of taking responsibility, the Golden Valley police have opened up an investigation.
According to the site, The Smoking Gun:
If you're not familiar with 'World's Dumbest', this guy fits right in:
When his career as a part time Youtube religious bigot tanks, or maybe lands him in the proverbial jail 'tank', he would be perfect as an alternate host on The Smoking Gun's cable shows. Apparently the 'star' of this Youtube stupidity is a guy named Michael Leisner, who likes to promote his religious ignorance and intolerance on other youtube videos and in the past on radio, so clearly he fancies himself as a performer.
What he does for a living reportedly involves some sort of commercial real estate dealings. While the religious right likes to send their business to those who take the same stands as they do, as was the case with busing in people to Chick-Fail-Hey's restaurants, this guy is so clearly a puts and an idiot, that I don't think being a bigot will be enough to attract new business, even from the idiot right homophobes. Most people don't like to risk the kind of money involved with real estate with incompetents and losers who screw up and then take so little responsibility for their actions. Leisner does not inspire confidence; but he's good for a laugh --- ha ha!! Look at the flaming homophobe!
Yup! He'd fit right in on World's Dumbest! His stunt has already gotten him an interview by them.
Can a star turn on peopleofwalmart.com be far behind?

According to the site, The Smoking Gun:
Cops in Golden Valley, home to the food conglomerate, are probing Michael Leisner’s recent blowtorch-aided demonstration next to the entrance to the firm’s corporate campus.
Golden Valley Police Department Chief Stacy Carlson said the “ongoing investigation” began yesterday and could take a couple of weeks. She declined to say whether cops have spoken with the 65-year-old Leisner (seen at right). Nor would she comment on what specific crimes are being investigated.It is worth noting that 'The Smoking Gun" site is part of the same "The Smoking Gun" that produces the cable series of programming "World's Dumbest" on TruTV:
TheSmokingGun.com is part of Adult Swim and the Turner-SI Digital Network.
If you're not familiar with 'World's Dumbest', this guy fits right in:
"World's Dumbest showcases the dumbest of the dumb - pathetic partiers, outrageous outlaws, brainless brawlers and beyond. Led by a hilarious cast of celebrity commentators who know a thing or two about stupid, including Danny Bonaduce, Leif Garrett, Judy Gold, Tonya Harding and Todd Bridges, this series will have you laughing, cringing and freaking out through our countdown - and begging for more."
