Muppets dump Chick-fil-a

[TaQud]

i didn't say I hate it (i'm neutral so I don't really care) its just where I live thats opposed to it

Is it the younger generation or the older generation? I live in Texas and it's not a problem usually (although I've been to the poorer parts of Texas and it's horrible) with the younger generation. And when it is, it's not because they're Christian, it's because they're closed-minded assholes in general.

Younger generation

[Olthar]

FUCK YEAH! MUPPETS!

I knew there was a reason I loved those fuzzy little puppets!

[Genivaria]

Yay for the Muppets! Although, I've never eaten Chick-a-fil-a or whatever because it doesn't exist here.

They have some pretty good chicken I'll give 'em that. But if they always have Christian music playing inside.

I've never heard christian music in a Chick-fil-a

I didn't know the Muppets had a connection to Chick-fil-a, but I'm still eating there nonetheless. It's so good.

You aren't really missing a whole lot.

[Gauthier]

I'm waiting for when the Muppets get on FOXNews again, this time as "Gay Agenda Provocateurs" or something like that. And it wasn't too long ago they were being bitched for supposedly being anti-oil activists because of their latest movie.

No, though there was a time in the past when I lived on it, at least while at work in a mall. It was cheap and filling.

[Esternial]

I think it'll take more than that for Chick-fil-a to truly come clean.

[Genivaria]

You've never actually walked in? And I don't mean a store at the mall.
Whenever I go in they're always playing a local Christian gospel station.

No I eat inside its just they never play any msuic let alone christian music

[Nationstatelandsville]

Eat More Cow.

I've been defending gay rights with an almost religious conviction my whole life and never even knew it.

[Northern Dominus]

Never tried them but it seems their President decided to use his position to preach gay marriage is bad.

The Muppets decided they were no longer worthy.

From their facebook page:

The Jim Henson Company has celebrated and embraced diversity and inclusiveness for over fifty years and we have notified Chick-Fil-A that we do not wish to partner with them on any future endeavors. Lisa Henson, our CEO is personally a strong supporter of gay marriage and has directed us to donate the payment we received from Chick-Fil-A to GLAAD. (http://www.glaad.org/)

I do like Chick-fil-A's statement:

Chick-fil-A in a statement said it has a history of applying biblically-based principles to its business, and that it strives to treat everyone with honor, dignity and respect.

I used to believe in the BS line of "hate the sin but love the sinner" but I quickly learned it was just a nice way to feel good about treating others bad.

You are not worthy of marriage but we love you......

You would think the zealot loonies running Chik-fil-A would have learned not to be capricious zealous assholes in public after they sued a small-scale farmer for a non-existent copyright infringement. Then again that would be expecting that the capricious zealous assholes learned something the first time 'round...

Yay for the Muppets! Although, I've never eaten Chick-a-fil-a or whatever because it doesn't exist here.

Imagine bland chicken with bland breading on bland white buns....oh and some lettuice and pickles that are soggier than the ones you get on burgers from McDonalds.

And their sauces are nice. Nothing spectacular, but they can make the experience a bit more varied.

Edit: and they were the only place I could still get a proper, red, pineapple-free sweet and sour sauce outside of Chinese buffets.

I beg to differ! He's missing out on a lot. Chick-fil-a is my life essence. I need to open one up here in Europe.

They already went through that when they introduced an HIV muppet in South Africa. Fox ranted about stolen childhood, etc. The HIV people in South Africa simply shook their head and said it was already stolen as there isn't a child who hasn't had a friend or relative die from the disease.

Chick-fil-a is a franchise. The owner picks the music, not the corporation. I'm sure founder Trudy Cathy and those that follow her lead probably have a Christian purity test for wannabe franchisees, but I'm guessing that doesn't include requiring them to have Christian music playing.

Huh.

Yeah that makes sense.

Obviously you don't live anywhere near a Trader Joe's...

Chik-fil-A.... purity test... why does that make me giggle uncontrollably?

Other side of town. I've asked to go so I can check it out, but it hasn't happened yet.

Well it's either that or you could learn to make your own...which could be interesting

[No Water No Moon]

Plenty of Christians do not oppose it.

The brand of fundamentalist Christian evangelist that has taken control of much of the American right is not indicative of huge swathes of Christianity.

Shhhh. Let him live in his atheist fantasy land where every Christian is a gay-hating sociopath.

That's not an atheist thing. Lots of atheists are quite happy with Christians, in general - even if they are in opposition to some specific Christians.

Personally, I find it hard to even consider the militant homophobes as examples of Christianity. Their intolerance just doesn't seem to match the red-letter Christ.

I probably could make my own fairly easily, but the only thing I want it for is dunking chicken nuggets, tenders, and wings, it really wouldn't be worth the trouble.

[The Republic of Lanos]

Fuck it, I'm gonna go eat there and I'm going to love and tolerate the shit out of my chicken sandwich and fries that I eat.

The chicken biscuits are pretty good. Not good enough to not boycott over, though.
