The #DumpKelloggs movement is met with #BreitbartCereals

There is a new kind of breakfast war waging, and it has nothing to do with McMuffins.

Shortly after Kellogg Co. decided pull all ads from Breitbart News over the so-called “alt-right” publisher’s tendency to spread hate speech, the conservative news giant struck back with a call to boycott the brand.

It didn’t take long for twin hashtags to break out: On the pro-Breitbart side there’s #DumpKellogs, in the other camp there’s #BreitbartCereals.

At least that will help them to keep them from crying after they’re stripped of their rights:

Except to say that none of these cereals are Kellogg’s brand cereals. Come on liberals, if you’re going to call someone a racist, at least get the details right:

Now, if you need us, we’ll be eating some yogurt. Certainly there’s nothing polarizing about yogurt, right? Right?
