KRISPY KREME CORRECTS 'FREEDOM OF CHOICE' FAUX PAS

Washington, D.C. (18 January 2009) – In light of a nationwide marketing trend to capitalize on the inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama, American Life League challenged Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. Thursday on the propriety of using the phrase "freedom of choice" in their corporate announcement regarding a free doughnut giveaway on Jan. 20 - Inauguration Day. Subsequently on Friday, Krispy Kreme updated the announcement. The following is a statement from Judie Brown, President of American Life League:
"We are grateful to Krispy Kreme executives who realized the inappropriate use of the phrase "freedom of choice" and have changed their announcement, available on their web site."

Hoping to capitalize on the unprecedented buzz surrounding Barack Obama's historic inauguration, donut king Krispy Kreme recently announced a promotion to give away one free donut to every customer on Inauguration Day. In order to promote the event, Krispy Kreme released the following statement:

"Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. is honoring American's sense of pride and freedom of choice on Inauguration Day, by offering a free doughnut of choice to every customer on this historic day, Jan. 20. By doing so, participating Krispy Kreme stores nationwide are making an oath to tasty goodies -- just another reminder of how oh-so-sweet "free" can be."

No sooner had the press release hit the wires than activists were protesting what they saw as an tacit endorsement of a pro-choice agenda and President Obama's pledge to uphold abortion's legality.
