SO, is it fair to call Chick-Fil-A a hate group?

More from Chick-fil-A's prez:

'Redefinition of marriage' is 'twisted up stuff'; God left us 'victim to the foolishness of our own thoughts'; 'a deprived mind'

I have to say, I really am happy that this is becoming a real PR nightmare for them. For a long time it's been something that's bothered the gay community but outside that, not many people really knew what they were doing. They've got to be getting worried right about now as to how far this could go.

Now, they're smearing the Henson Company's name by saying they can't give out toys due to safety issues. Stay classy, Chick-Fil-A...

I think that's fake.

[romantico]

I also think that is fake. I would guess Chick-Fil-A could be sued for that and if not, I don't think Chick-Fil-A would want anymore bad press.

I thought so at first, but it seems awfully real... Curious to see if anything comes of it.

Definitely fake. It's blatantly illegal plus Henson and co. already issued a press release as to the real reason.

Wow that CNN video was the first time I finally understood their name, and that it's meant to sound like "fillet" as in the cut of meat. Enlightening. :P

I mean, at a certain point, this is just what people like Newt Gingrich call a "culture war" and Chick Fil A is just sort of a proxy. I'm okay with that.

Also, I think I I keep getting Dan and Truett Cathy cofnused, so I might just say Cathy (ACK!) to mean anyone who is a homophobic bigot.

So now I read that sign we all thought was fake IS real. My world is topsy turny.

I actually thought it probably was real, but not something generated on a corporate level.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Posted: 7/24/12 at 11:18pm

You are probably right.

Well then let's hope Henson (or Disney, or whoever) sees it and takes legal action.

Henson Company had a deal with Chick-Fil-A with the Creature Shop puppets. Disney owns The Muppets 100%. Jason Segel said he got the idea for the new Muppet movie, because when he visited the Henson Studios and asked to see a Kermit or Piggy puppet, they told him they didn't have ANY Muppets at the studio. Disney owns it all.

Just fyi and whatnot. Carry on. :)

Eric, please tell me you were joking when you wrote that.

I thought that sign was fake. WOW! Chick-Fil-A is really stupid. Whoever does their PR is not very good at it. This will only make them look petty and give their critics ammunition.

Your eyes did not deceive you.

Chick-Fil-A has jumped the shark.
