Yuk, yuk, yuk. Get it? BIGOToni.
George Takei’s Twitter feed is usually pretty entertaining and he once insisted that he writes all his own Facebook commentary.
For a guy proud of crafting his own commentary, his swipe at Barilla for its chairman’s stance on traditional family doesn’t seem too original. “Bigotoni” was done to death by the progressive herd yesterday.
Good hed for your Barilla story: BIGOTONI

Pasta wordplay aside, apparently Barillia’s apology wasn’t good enough for Takei:
While we cannot undo words that have been said, we can apologize. To all of those that we have hurt or offended, we are deeply sorry.
