Haredim Censor 'Immodest' Cereal Boxes In Lakewood, NJ Grocery Store
It isn't the first time (as you can see here) and it likely won't be the last. But this doesn't make it any less disgusting.
Please click to enlarge:
What the box is supposed to look like:

Exclusive: Haredim Censor Cereal Boxes In Brooklyn Haredi Supermarket.
When Chareidim won't even publish the names of women in a news article, it just gets me to wonder if last week's navi, Dvorah, would've ever have made it into Shoftim had it been with today's Chareidim in charge of putting Shoftim together.

Sick in the head.

This is absolutely childish and idiotic,and i would venture to guess that 99.99% of frum Jews agree that this individual who owns this supermarket is insane and needs to be medicated,
Having said that,this idiot has all the right to do with those boxes whatever he wants to,those cereal boxes are his,therefore don't understand why this is newsworthy? must be another slow day down in the basement :)

I am fully in favor of censoring that slutty tramp whore on the cover of Cocoa Pebbles. Did you know that Pebbles Flinstone grew up to be a prostitute, pimped out by Bam-Bam? By heroically covering over that tramp's picture, the hareidim of Lakevood are protecting 8 year old boys from lusting after women. That's what they're spending their time teaching the Kollel Yungeleit in that sacred house of Toiraw.

They would be better of banishing themselfs from civilization,let them go into the forest and fend for themselfs there they will not encounter any uncovered face or females they so despise.

Apologies to Hanna Barbara (Meet the Flintstones):
Flintsteins
Meet the Flintsteins
They're the black hat stone age family
From the town of Borough Park
They are ready with a strange story
Let slide all the science and history
Grovel at a rebbe's smelly feet
When you're with the Flintsteins
you'll have a yeidel-deidel nu time
a holy Jew time
You'll have a frum old time.

This is why people end up strapping bombs to themselves.
I'm convinced one day, some chareidei guy is going to murder someone and think he did a mitzvah.

It looks like a Freeda sheitel. But she needs a new conditioner..the ends are totally split. I enjoy fruity pebbles the best..

John Galt, they're attempting to do just that in Bnei Brak.

John Galt -
Without a doubt.

To be honest, I can't fault the store, they're making a business decision. Their customer base wants this, so they do it. It's the people wanting a store to do this whom I take issue with.

But its ok for frum people to write on a wedding invitation about the kalla that she is a virgin. Buncha hypocrites

Can't have the girls knowing that they can do anything they want when they grow up, including being a star soccer player and representing your country in the World Cup and the Olympics! Nope, gotta keep them ignorant!

Terrible. Terrible. Terrible. The world is going down the tubes. How will anybody enjoy female photographs if they are censored?
Posted by: MG | February 03, 2015 at 08:26 PM
But it's ok to have half naked bam bam, because lusting after boys is ok?
Posted by: yochi | February 03, 2015 at 08:33 PM
These sleazeballs worry about this - meanwhile there was a piece on CBS News in NY about Joel Israel, a Hasid, a renegade landlord of a building on Graham Ave in Brooklyn who tried to force his rent-stabilized tenants out by making no repairs, gutting apartments to supposedly renovate and then never doing it. The Court has just mandated he make the repairs. His ugly peyot-bearing puss was on the news. A lovely advertisement for all that's worst about frum Judaism.

Once in a moment of temptation I bought this cereal just to peel back the tape.
I was overcome with the urge to sin. My kapota developed a bump in it, and then I ate the box.
If only women had never been created! We could have lived normal lives.
I pray that the RebbeHaMelechHaMoshiach™ will forgive me and absolve me of my sin (for which a woman is truly to blame).
But it could have been much worse. I might have eaten the cereal, which is NOT pas yisroel.

I didn't think the picture was immodest. Pretty tame to me.

That's just the Yetzer Hara speaking.

@Gay Frum Jew ----> I enjoy fruity pebbles the best..
You just brought back (for me) some GREAT childhood memories! I was CRAZY about Fruity Pebbles!
@John Galt ---> This is why people end up strapping bombs to themselves.
I'm convinced one day, some chareidei guy is going to murder someone and think he did a mitzvah.
Sad to say, I think you directly on point, esp. with your second sentence.
It will not surprise me at all, if in the not-too-distant future, we see Haredi suicide bombers, and also see some Haredi's committing murder ...and believing, just as you have stated, that it was a mitzvah.

@John Galt---->
I just thought of something....I wonder, if these folks in whatever offshoot of Haredism ....Bobovers, Satmars, Chabad, Munkatcher, whatever....
....I wonder, if their Rabbi's told them that there needed to be some sort of mass suicide, AKA Jonestown 1978...I wonder how many of them would actually do it?
I think the answer is frightening.

I think this time the Haredim are right, while this photo of Alex Morgan is harmless they worry that the kids will go after her Sport Illustrated photos which are more yummy

========================================
abraham,just like the owner of this blog,you prove for all to see what an ignoramus and AM HAARETZ you are,in Hebrew and Aramaic all unmarried women were called BESULAH,it has nothing to do with being a virgin or not
Posted by: JACK | February 04, 2015 at 06:58 AM
JACK:
Does an invitation for a womans' second wedding say besulah?
Many 'modern' invitations just say hakallah without the besulah because the women themselves find it offensive. Tends not to be a problem, people invited dont get confused or worry that the Kallah is an already married woman. Besulah on an invitation is definitely meant to 'imply' that she is a virgin and definitely once had sexual connotations even if those connotations are long forgotten.

to Mr. Gay
Thanks for that lovely reminder. I do remember when it was "lady" fingers and OK to call them by that name. That was back in the day before ladies were photoshopped out of photos. The cookies clearly paved the way....

Abracadabra,
Thanks. We have to credit the Haredi with one thing. They never leave us without something at which to laugh.
Posted by: Chafraud-Depravitch | February 04, 2015 at 01:40 PM
Chafraud-Depravitch - Indeed! And you guys certainly keep me laughing with your great posts! Most of the time I don't comment, but all of you should know that me and a lot of other people read this blog. And I for one get lots of laughs from the funny comments!! Btw - great screen name. I take it you have a bone to pick with Chabad Haredim in particular...
