Adventures in Chickenland

[Bella Fortuna]

Chick-Fil-A just can't make a right move. The idiots.

The story is this: the founder’s son/COO said CFA money was going to fight gay marriage so Jim Henson announced they would not partner with Chick-fil-A in the future. Chick-fil-A suddenly discovered that the Muppet toys they were giving out were defective and announced they would no longer be giving them out. Obviously, many people think that they dropped the toys because Jim Henson called them on being homo-haters, but Chick-fil-A is sticking to its story… an making up fake Facebook accounts to do the dirty work for them.

“Abby Farle” is a FB account created by Chick-fil-A to promote the lie that the toys had been removed weeks ago. I guess the logic being that if someone who isn’t the store makes a claim that is untrue, no one can be mad at the company for lying.

Except social media under the scrutiny of tens of thousands of people is not the best place to use easily found stock photos as your head shot or to start a profile only a few hours ahead of when you post to a company’s website. Especially if that’s the only thing the fake account does.

So, not only did CFA create a profile to enable them to lie, they made her super Christian, and they didn’t make her convincingly. CFA was caught in the act 2 hours after they began the lie. The internet is sometimes a beautiful thing, but companies are sometimes incredibly stupid at what they think they can get away with.

Dear everyone, when you get caught doing something bad, just admit it, because then it won’t be a story. This? This is a story.

BUAHAHAHA

Lying for Jesus? Who'da thunk it?

As we all know, they had kids and that family now lives in France in a secret location, harbouring the Holy Grail and the elixir of life.

Don't we have a thread about lying for Science even?

I hope they get lots of protestors...

I'm under orders to pick up a large platter of chicken strips from them for my kids' birthday party tomorrow. But my wife has been following this news too, and after tomorrow I think we'll be boycotting them for a while.

I never go there anyway. But she and the kids do, because their chicken is frickin' delicious.

It is wonderful, but I haven't been there in two years...

On August 1, I will go to a local Chick-fil-A with a man and kiss him, with tongue, at the check-out counter. Volunteers needed.

Ayaan can do that. Video would be better, of course.

Some of them are in malls. Hmm, mall cops have pepper spray?

Yeah, but they can't use it against two people kissing unless there are other reasons to do so. I'd be willing to leave after the kissing, but I'd go right outside and have a few things to say.

Sounds like you're thinking about volunteering!

Damn, I was hoping for somebody better looking.
