Right. It’s a joke.

It’s a joke that affects millions of people.
Including kids.
Like me.
It’s a joke that is the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
After you hear it from Disney Channel, various restaurants, and your camp counselor.
So seriously, there’s no “It’s a joke” anymore. Either you agree with those who think this is stupid and unfair or you agree with those who publicly bully children JUST to get a few more viewers.

Parker Kligerman and His Quest to Introduce the Racing World to the Gluten-Free Car

March 18, 2015 by Nichol Creach

Parker Kligerman has raced on several different NASCAR circuits, including the highest level Sprint Cup Series. He is also a television personality, having done work for NBC Sports’ NASCAR America. When Parker was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2010, his life changed for the better. Until that point, he was living in a fog and constantly feeling sick. A fellow driver recommended that he get tested for celiac, which ultimately allowed Parker to get back to his energetic and healthy lifestyle. Now, Parker has made it his mission to spread the word about celiac disease and to show people that a gluten-free lifestyle can include delicious food choices and a variety of options at their favorite restaurants.

GIG is happy to announce that we will be backing Parker in his efforts to raise awareness and we are proud to be a sponsor of the Gluten-Free Car. We see the Gluten-Free Car as becoming a symbol for the gluten-free community; turning the spotlight on delicious foods, promoting safe dining experiences, and bringing recognition to those manufacturer sponsors that the everyday consumer may know but may not associate with the special-diet market. We are hoping that you will join Parker and GIG on this quest.

To learn more about Parker’s vision and how you can help him in bringing awareness of gluten-free to a global audience, please fill out a Request Information form or inquire by e-mail to Chris.Rich@gluten.org. You can also follow Parker’s season using #PKrace4GF.

I’d like to see the looks on the faces of all those sneering trolls who are following NASCAR now because of that Super Bowl ad, and then they discover THIS. Yep, that’s right. The auto racing circuit that ridiculed the notion of gluten as danger now has… a gluten-free car.

I wonder if Parker himself ever had anything to say publicly about that ad? He probably has a “conduct detrimental to NASCAR” contract clause that might have discouraged this. Whether or not this initiative was intended as somewhat of a pro-active statement on the matter, it’s fair to wonder if some might interpret it as such.

Well I found it amusung and I didn’t know that being diagnosed with Celiacs destroyed your sense of humour.

simply said. perfection.

f u dave.

Well said Dave. It’s for the laughs! Don’t worry about political correctness, because most of the time it’s unnecessary.

I have celiacs disease and i think all the gluten free band waggoners and people upset over this ad are just looking to victimize themselves

0.75% of america has celiacs disease. The cars in this commercial were more offensive than the gluten comment.
