So, let’s see… Chick-Fil-A is rumored to be pretty damn opposed to gay rights/marriage, then they come out and say they totally aren’t and that they love all people. Then they come out and admit that the original rumor was correct, because the bible tells them that their company should be opposed to equality. Then the world turns against them. Then, recently, they act like a teenage girl on their message boards in an attempt to save face, and fall flat on their faces.
Originally, this was a sad story of another company run by religious assholes who choose to vocalize their position on political topics when they should have just stuck to MAKING CHICKEN-FUCKING-SANDWICHES. Seriously, I don’t need to be fed a sermon with my meal unless you’re on a mount and you’re feeding me fucking loaves and fishes. And even then, I’ll probably be listening to my iPod while I eat.
I can be honest.
The good news is that for those who’ve seen the video for the Chick-Fil-Gay sandwich recipe – it’s delicious and amazing. The boyfriend made it the other day and it’s totally being added to my new “favorites” list. Those things make for amazing comfort food and they cook up quick!
It’s always election years when companies come out of the woodwork and take positions on some things that… well… are going to lose them business. When it comes down to it – if you want to give money from your business to a church… or have your employees doing community service for a specific charity – GREAT! But throwing tens of thousands of dollars at the Tea Party these days might be a bad idea. Just a heads up.
Regardless, I still do my best to stay out of the political discussions, whether they’re on social media or in person. There are some topics that I… well… feel very strongly about – and I have a minefield set out before me of triggers that a person could unknowingly step on which would make me go from quiet to batshit in 5 second flat. I owe it to the world to avoid letting people enter that minefield when I’m around at all cost.
And for those also wondering – this is one of those occasions where my characters are doing something that we totally don’t do. Why are they working out? I have no idea. I just started drawing it and it felt right so I went with it. On many occasions – that’s what happens when I sit down to write comics. The pencil speaks for itself and this time: it said shake-weight.
Oh, and by the way – I still haven’t seen Batman. This disappoints me greatly.
The End.
Someone needs to organize a bear protest orgy at a CFA. Anal sex makes a great point!
If only I could avoid hearing pop music for the rest of my life, I would be happy… *groan*
Apparently my above comment was meant for the comic about pop music, and somehow it got put on this one… Well, while we’re on the subject of Chik-fil-A, I am an avid eater of it!! My boyfriend tries to give me guilt trips, and says I shouldn’t support them. But I don’t care, they are too delicious!! In the end, this country is slowly becoming pro-gay rights, and there is nothing some fast food restaurant can do about it. In the meantime, all my armchair activist friends can hate my behavior all they want, but I am getting some damned good nuggets of deliciousness+7 >:3
I love that Drew has his pinky up while using the Shake-Weight. Excellent
I still haven’t seen Batman and I maintain an arrogant smugness about that fact. :-{Þ
The whole Chick-Fil-A nonsense doesn’t affect me at all, since I’m pretty sure there aren’t any in my entire state (California being comprised of nothing but homosexuals, communists, illegal immigrants and homosexual communist illegal immigrants, you know). But I’m totally trying that Chick-Fil-Gay recipe, even though I hate cooking.
No CFA’s in western WA either, that I know of. Probably because we are lousy with the homo-gay up in here. I’m on the fence about boycotts, especially of large corporations. As vato demonstrates you’ll never get 100% of people behind the cause and then there are those who are so oblivious that will still patronize the business that they won’t really suffer from the boycott.
Jerr has a better idea, sort of. Demonstrations against the company’s policies and stances at their locations that would somewhat disrupt their business with out being illegal could draw attention to the cause and pressure them to rethink their stance. So simulated anal sex, not the real deal.
