Donuts And Bacon? We Say, Never Again!

An alert Extreme Mortman reader — clearly attuned to our fascination with donuts’ incredible influence over presidential politics – sends us this link to the Forward:
Over the past month, Dunkin’ Donuts has faced a wave of protest after news got out that a Washington-area franchise was being pushed by its corporate parents to serve the company’s bacon-heavy sandwiches — a move that would result in the loss of its kosher status. An online petition collected thousands of signatures as word spread that Dunkin’ Donuts was pressuring its 40 other kosher franchises to lose the kosher certification and add nonkosher items, like the new maple-cheddar breakfast sandwich.
The response from the online petitioners was swift. Some kept their comments simple: “Jews run on Dunkin’.” Others made appeals to the company’s morals: “We need a kosher Dunkin’ Donuts — especially for our children!”
Such a vigorous and rowdy protest should be dedicated to the memory of Israel’s legendary founding Zionist statesmen, like the late Menachem Bacon.

“Jews run . . . .”
Is there bacon in Kazakstan?

Dunkin has also lost the schools market by adding peanut butter cookies to the menu. What are these guys, morons?
