therealljidolToday I am formally announcing that we will not be banning Chik-Fil-A from opening up a shop here.
Mostly because this is a website, and I’m not sure how they could open a storefront here anyway… but I figured that if things get tough for them, who knows – maybe they would! Then I could charge them ridiculous amounts of rent, get rich off that, and use it to fund the recruitment and training of my monkey army… because that is what you should be doing with your wealth. Not “denying people their rights”, you should be using it to completely make everyone bend to your iron-fisted will!
Until then, we will be hosting things like this poll: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/590519.html which is filled with awesome writing that you should make sure that you are reading and supporting! It closes tonight, so make sure your voice is heard about your favorites! )
If I can figure out a way to use that to fund the recruitment and training of my monkey army, believe me, I will!

I'm not sure how I feel about the banning thing though.
Meanwhile, I have read half the entries and voted in one poll. I am amazed that I have missed the awesome that is

Date: 2012-07-26 04:36 pm (UTC)I've had several friends on FB get all up in arms saying us boycotting them is wrong since they're just expressing they're freedom of religion and can spend their money however they see fit. Which is true.
But I have a right to spend my money how I see fit too :)

Date: 2012-07-26 04:54 pm (UTC)Ohhhh geez, the Chick-Fil-A debate. That company can kiss my queer heathen ass. I boycott the shit out of them, and I completely support any other company who wants to cut ties with them, BUT...it really freaks me out to see the government or a government official attempting to block\shut down a legal business simply because of the owner's political beliefs or legal use of profits. At first I thought the governor had just sort of issued an informal STFU on city letterhead, which was more funny than alarming, but the governor actually trying to block the company spooks me on principle, even though I loathe anti-gay groups and any company that would fund them.
Oy, it's too early for a political debate! I'm on my way out the door and I haven't even had my vodka yet today. Sorry if the above made, like, no sense at all.

Soak it in.
