Chick-fil-A Caught Pretending to be a teenage girl on Facebook

That ranks pretty highly in "sentences I never thought I'd write, ever"

So Chick-fil-A has an openly anti-gay stance. Accordingly, Jim Henson has decided to end their toy deal with CFA, and give any proceedings to GLAAD.
However, CFA has put up signs in their restaurants saying that the toys have been recalled due to a "safety issue". Uh-huh.

And now, with all the backlash, they have been caught posing as a teenage girl trying to defend the company. (with a stock photo no less)

Oh, the age of the internet... Making lying easy and getting caught even easier!

I saw that. Busted within all of two comments, that's pretty sad ^_^

Good on Jim Henson, though.

Wait, didn't Jim Henson die?

Like, years ago?

Jim Henson Co.

Ah, I see. My mistake.

I had to do a double-take when I first saw it, too.

I love it when a company tries to quell a PR nightmare with blatant stupidity.

brb, laughing forever

Mmm-mmm. Profits AND biggotry.

I'm honestly kind of surprised that they're putting so much into all this traditional family anti-gay bullshit. I mean, I can't think off hand of any other name brand company that is just crossing their arms and sticking their noses in the air. Even if Target didn't really change the way they do things much, they at least pretended.

Why would you be? This man believe stuff, and he's capable of believing it AND making money.

Sooooooo, why would he stop believing it?

What really pisses Mikey off, and you know it's srs bsnz because Mikey has such a wonderful sense of perspective, is this:

Quote :

Show your support for the traditional American family values professed by Christion family owned Chick-fil-A, by taking your family, friends, and colleagues to Chick-fil-A for all three meals

Apparently, the traditional American family is a wife, husband, and two kids that are all fatter than the Queen of Seacows.

If you're going to be ferverently homophobic you may as well make some money off of it, huh?

You're new to this capitalism thing, aren't you?

If Chick-fil-A wants to be a restaurant for and of douchebags, let them. The GLAAD crew can eat at Zaxby's. It's better anyway.

I love how the CEO of Chick-fil-a keeps going on about the Biblical definition of family. Does Dan Cathy support polygamy?

Not everyone can view those videos. Any chance you could link to a site that actually allows non-USAsians to watch them?

I've never had a problem viewing the Daily Show online in the UK or here in Korea...

I had no problem watching that clip here in Israel. I think they only block full episodes for non-US viewing.

Yeah, I can't see it.

To add to the topic though, Boston has told Chick-Fil-A to sling its hook:

Quote :

You called supporters of gay marriage “prideful”. Here in Boston, to borrow your own words, we are “guilty as charged.” We are indeed full of pride for our support of same sex marriage and our work to expand freedom to all people. We are proud that our state and our city have led the way for the country on equal marriage rights.

If you are discriminating against a segment of the community, I don’t want you in the 1st Ward

But...but I loved their food! ; ; I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to eat it again with a clear conscience. Thankfully, I live in Michigan now, which has a decided lack of Chick-Fil-A's, so I'll be free from temptation.

Chick-fil'A's VP of public relations has died.
It was a heart attack...or so they say.
