Probably about as much of a dick as I've been to USAMan1 and I haven't been fired. If I showed my boss the things I've posted here I'd probably get a muffin basket and a gift certificate for a free weekend at Island House.
Hey, once I took a screen grab of a particularly good zinger I made here, posted it to Reddit and got like 300 vote ups. Great traffic to my blog for that.
however.. the girl at the window works a crappy-paying, thankless job and has no control over what her shift supervisor does in his spare time, let alone how the CEO donates company funds to anti-gay hate groups. So it was just pointless to do.
And really... the whole thing has gotten a bit silly but our society LIKES silly "coke/pepsi" debates where choosing a side is easy for them. On one side... they have the gays down the street who are all like gay and stuff and on the other... yummy deep-fried food.
I had worse things carved into my high school locker door. I'm not supporting what he did but calling for him to be sent to jail for tagging a restaurant (which is done about every 30 seconds in LA) is just plain absurd.
If they threw every person who tagged a wall in LA, we'd have to turn Van Nuys into a prison colony. Which.. to be fair... if you've been to VAn Nuys... not much of a stretch.
The story is Chki fil a had record sales yesterday.
private company. good for them. It's nice to see people selling a product and making some money around here.
this thread illustrates the blind hate. thanks op.
Godfather.
Overnight, a Chick-fil-A in Torrance, Calif., was vandalized with the spray-painted message "Tastes like hate" in advance of today's "National Same-Sex Kiss Day."
vandals eh? reminds me of OWS.
sounds to me like vandals also, some gay activest or supporter trying to sell beliefs to people that don't want them and they believe the only that they can get their attention it to destroy someone elses property,what a buch of idiots...they talk about discrimation aginst gays and pull shit like this ? in the name of equality ?

A bit of spray paint isn't "destroying" anything. I don't support it but acting like he torched the place or drove a car through the window is a bit dramatic.
And again... this wasn't an activist or supporter, it was a graffiti artist who was pulling a publicity stunt to promote his art show.

He's a flat-broke Graffiti artist from Inglewood who got free publicity on National television and a massive press presence for his art show on Saturday. I'm going to say that he's going to make bank.

I would have him in court on Saturday, special session.
Anyhow, I know it's not burning a place down, but I will never understand the mindset that says it's not that bad of a thing to abuse someone else's personal property.
Like I say... I'm not supporting it and I don't know anyone who did. But the crybaby over reaction like the people on Michele Malkin's site calling for his arrest and charging him with treason for interfering with someone's free speech or charging him with terrorism for intimidating poor defenseless children wanting to buy a milkshake are just plain dumb.

I get that whole 'Tastes like Hate' is supposed to be a parody of the 'Tastes like Chicken' thing... I just think it lacks creativity. He should have written 'Tastes like Penis' or 'Tastes like Man-ass' or something funny. Maybe do a Banksy rip-off with the rats or something. Maybe, 'Then, you agree with Rev. Phelps, God Really does Hate Fags'... (nope, too long). I don't know, i'm just tossing shit out there. Something more creative or thought provoking.
...
Otherwise, it's no different from 'CHAKA' tagging a box car in Elysian Park.

You're awfully fragile.
I had worse things carved into my high school locker door. I'm not supporting what he did but calling for him to be sent to jail for tagging a restaurant (which is done about every 30 seconds in LA) is just plain absurd.
