    I think it's completely awesome to use your business to promote or raise awareness of issues you have a concern or involvement with. No matter what it is, some people will react to it. I think the Stroopwafels promo had me just as confused as the same-sex ice cream.

    As long as you are simply promoting awareness of your idea, rather than causing harm or degrading those who are against it. Ben & Jerry's is in some way degrading people uncomfortable with the idea, but in a silly way where the loss is bland ice cream selections.

    At my company, we don't get into political discussions, because that's part of our business. However, we DO make stances and raise awareness on health, poverty, and basic human needs. We even have a special job code for community involvement, because we find it important.

    If businesses are a big cause for the bad side of politics (at least in America), then businesses should be allowed to be on the good side too!

While I would prefer to keep comments open indefinitely, the amount of spam that old articles attract is becoming a strain to keep up with and I can't always answer questions about ancient blog postings. If you have valuable feedback or important questions, please feel free to get in touch.
