People all over the world are starving and have Ebola, but it doesn't matter because starting this February, there will be Red Velvet Oreos.

People all over the world are starving and have Ebola, but it doesn't matter because starting this February, there will be Red Velvet Oreos.

You can let their decadent sacchrine flavor wash away the realization that global warming has picked off its last polar bear starting February 2nd, when they become available in stores nationwide.

But until then, forget about ISIS for a second and focus on the bliss of their cream cheese cookie centers by signing up to win a free sample before the cookies come out. If you go to www.OREORedVelvetRope.com, you can be one of the 20,250 people who will receive a free sample bag, courtesy of the people who are washing away your impure thoughts of AIDS with their trendy tasty treats. The offer ends at noon on January 22nd.

Of course the Red Velvet Oreos are supposed to be correlated with some sort of pagan Valentine's Day celebration, but they'll only be available for a limited time; aka until the pain of a Valentine's Day spent alone begins to evaporate. Or until like … February is over.

"We knew there was a lot of love out there for the flavor red velvet … and for OREO, so we asked ourselves, why not combine the two?" said Janda Lukin, senior director for Oreo North America. Now that's a high school year book quote.

This is the first time since 2004 with the Golden Oreo that the brand is featuring a new cookie flavor and color.

Oh and apparently, Oreos sent sample bags to all the major news agencies that no one cares about around the counry like ABC and USA Today. We're just going to take their failure to send us a sample as a sign that we haven't sold out to Rupert Murdoch just yet. So thanks, Oreos, for reminding us of our DIY-flavored national insignificance and punk rock style that's too cool for the Red 40-colored mainstream.

People at those agencies are saying things like the cookies "made them feel fancy," which is sad.

It's important to note that the post about Red Velvet Oreos currently has 69K likes on USA Today's site, but a video about whether or not police should live in the communities they serve has one. Literally one.

Well, that's just good old American freedom of expression for you.
