If we as Americans take our fast food so seriously that we use it to make a political statement, then we've just proven every stereotype about the American fatass to be true.

The Chick-fil-A in the mall that's attached to my building was packed yesterday. And the worst part - I bet 50% of those people didn't vote in our elections the other day, but yet they actually thought they were proving something or making some sort of difference by eating a damn chicken sandwich. Slacktivism at it's finest.

And what's even funnier....all those photos and pictures posted on Facebook (gay friendly company) by these proud Chick-fil-A supporters - They were most likely taken from an Apple product (gay friendly company), Google Android (gay friendly company) or uploaded using a Microsoft (gay friendly company) OS. Maybe they washed down their meal with a Coke - oh yeah, they're gay friendly also. Maybe they drove there in a GM or Ford vehicle - guess what! They just supported a gay friendly corporation when they did that too.

And the other side is just as stupid. Boycotting Chick-fil-A because their CEO is some bible thumper Baptist with pretty standard Baptist beliefs? Do they not realize that a lot of their gas and oil purchases benefit some pretty brutal regimes in the middle east that kill gay people? Why is there all this outrage when a Baptist CEO of a company so religious that they're closed on Sunday says in a Baptist newspaper that he's against gay marriage. This is a shock? Come on now.

In short, this whole thing is a foolish embarrassment to both sides. I eat at Chick-fil-A because I like the food. Everyone who wants to make my lunch a political battleground can kiss my nuggets. But they can't have my Honey Roasted BBQ sauce. That stuff is crack in a plastic condiment packet.
