Chick-Fil-A CEO posting more anti-gay comments.

[self biased]

Their product is popular, but it certainly isn't "good".

Oh wow. An overly-battered fried chicken sandwich with a limp pickle on it.

limp pickles are the worst.

Good chicken salad

At one point last year there was a salvation army drive at RIT and someone posted on a popular RIT message board that everyone should boycott and picket the people collecting money because "those homophobes have mainstream Christian political views! How dare they!" I posted that if was standing around picketing I would personally walk past the picket line and give him $200. There was nobody there picketing the next day so I handed him a twenty.

There were some dumbshits going around trying to get everyone at CMU to boycott them for a bit so I went around with a Chik fil a bag for like a week. Ate it for lunch every day. It's fun getting *******s bent out of shape.

I suspect the "spiting the self-righteous" factor had a significant influence on their overall sales last year. I bought a sandwich on that support day for similar reasons. Also I needed something for lunch and they were close by, but I had other options. My feelings of "oh, **** those people" just pushed me more decisively in the chicken sandwich direction.

There's one close to work. We decided to order for the entire school one day.

Kettle.

ACK!

Word on the street is, "Say 'no' to Chick-Fil-A."

[Aeson]

Yes, for a day they did record business but then sales went down for an extended period of time as the consumer boycott dragged on. The moral of the story is one day of anti-gay people stuffing greasy **** in their mouths doesn't make up for a long term decrease in sales.

I didn't know **** was censored ...

I am glad to see a CEO come out with what he/she really feels. Far to much "politically correct" BS everywhere. Free speech is great, but pretty useless when many people are afraid to say what they really think.

But this just puts you on a different side of the self-righteous camp.

And if people don't like what other people say, they are free to express that as well.

Exactly...and as they should.

I'd bet money one of the corporate managers saw what he wrote and said "God damn it. Not on the corporate twitter feed!"
