Lennon Gets Whirled Peace
Posthumously joining an elite circle that includes Jerry Garcia, Stephen Colbert and Phish, ex-Beatle John Lennon has now been honored with his own Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor: Imagine Whirled Peace. Guest of a Guest recites the ingredients: a caramel and sweet cream whirl with toffee and chocolate-covered peace signs.
Reportedly the company worked with the estate of Lennon and "the promotion also includes a recreation of the 'Bed-In' staged by John Lennon and Yoko Ono in 1969 aimed at promoting world peace." That took place earlier this week when Maggie Gyllenhaal and Ben & Jerry's co-founder Jerry Greenfield recreated the Yoko and John roles right in Ben & Jerry's Times Square Scoop Shop.
As an encore, we'd have to agree that a commercial spot featuring Yoko primal screaming for ice cream is certainly in order.

Let's hope Yoko doesn't sue the shite out of Ben years from now when she suddenly deems it innappropriate use of the Lennon legacy.

Ben & Jerry has probably killed more people with heart failure than any army ever has.

The bed-in isn't going to involve Maggie and Jerry is it because I just barfed a little in mouth at the thought of it.

I think Maggie Gyllenhaal is gorgeous in a funny-looking way.

I expect her to remove her top looking at that picture. the only actress who's more comfortable being topless is Jennifer jason leigh.
and, MG looks adorable.

It's supposed to be Whirled PEAS. Get it right, Ben and Jerry.
Of course, I can't imagine that would sell many pints.

Wow, Lennon really has let himself go, looks like he's been hanging out with Elvis a bit too much.
