From Crain's New York Business"

...Dairy delight maker Ben & Jerry's and The Lennon Estate were expected to introduce a new ice cream flavor Tuesday called ``Imagine Whirled Peace'' -- while re-enacting the ``Peace Bed-Ins'' staged by John Lennon and Yoko Ono in 1969.

The couple organized the week-long bed-ins to preach about world peace, conducting interviews with reporters.

Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal and Ben & Jerry's co-founder Jerry Greenfield were expected to reprise the roles at the Ben & Jerry's Scoop Shop in Times Square. Efforts for spreading world peace and ice cream will most likely be announced.

The new flavor is a caramel and sweet cream whirl of chocolate-covered peace signs and toffee pieces.

3. Sounds tasty

As usual, Ben and Jerry's proves that they are a corporation with a social conscience.
And to tell the truth, there are worse ways to spend one's time than being in bed with Maggie Gyllenhall promoting peace. :) :P

4. Beatles song quite goes here

Okay, I'll buy one container cause I like the peace sign thing, and to try the taste. Otherwise, my Richter scale is unmoved by this new Ben & Jerry'$ ice cream flavor.

Now, if Sir Paul McCartney come out with an ice cream I would probably protest against it; I am tired of that commercial whore. There, I said it.
