Anyone remember Tracy Flick (aka Reese Witherspoon) in Election? We're thinking the movement going on right now in conservative circles to boycott Girl Scout cookies because the Scouts are all tolerant and shit hired her as speechwriter. It might as well be a controversial Degrassi episode.

In the following video, we noticed how they cautiously masked any identifying troop info, as well as the her rehearsed inflexion, "Girl Scouts welcomes all members, regardless of age, race, ethnicity, culture, background, sexual orientation, GEN-der. Endquote."

But can we still use the Tagalongs lip balm we got for Christmas?
