McBoycott

An anti-McDonald's website (yes, another one) has sprouted up in response to this ad, which touts the company's commitment to the gay and lesbian community. According to the proprietors of BoycottMcDonalds.com, they are not against McDonald's irresponsible and highly questionable definition of food, which they serve freely at thousands of locations worldwide, oh no, they love the food. They just hate McDonald's politics. "It is about McDonald's, as a corporation, refusing to remain neutral in the culture wars. McDonald's has chosen not to remain neutral but to give the full weight of their corporation to promoting the homosexual agenda, including homosexual marriage."

Seriously. Who supports Stonewall riot victims anyway? That is so not what Jesus would do. He might stone Stonewall victims, but never support them. Shame on you, Mickey D's. Shame on your tolerance and compassion.

The best part of the site -- without a doubt -- is the comments section, a finely honed hodgepodge of stupidity, so utterly devoid of rational thought that I would be remiss not to share some of the gems. These comments are 100% real and unedited, written by real people... with really low IQs:

"because McDonald's had taken a stand to support the activist gay agenda that is destroying the core of family values in the U.S. we will take a stand to support McDonald's competitors such as In-n-Out and Chick fil-A."

“I have 5 days a week my house filled with children of various age and many days it’s McDonalds for dinner due to time restraints. NOT ANY MORE. I will not spend my hard earnd money to support a group of people that is trappling my beliefs and leading our futur generations in to a lifestyle that will kill them. I will not come and spend a dime there nor will I let any of my friends or aquaintends do so. what ever I can to stop this support of nglcc I will do. Children are too precious to be perverted like that. one of many who still have a sense of morality”

“YOU DID NOT BILD YOUR COMPANY ON HOMOSEXUAL PEOPLE! IT WAS BUILD ON FAMILY VALUES! MAN,WIFE.CHILDREN!MOSTLTY CHILDREN! THEY DON’T COME FROM HOMO PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Oh, and the list goes on... And on and on. Practically forever. This is totally the last time I'm taking political cues from a clown and a guy named "Hamburglar."

I miss natural selection. A few thousand years ago, these same people would climb up on the nearest rock and scream "Homo's ain't right by nature cause they cain't have no kids" and promptly get tooth-hugged by a hungry tiger. Now we have to wait for the slow painful release of obesity induced diabetes to silence their uneducated voices...

Keep up the blog, funniest thing on the internet as far as I'm concerned! Fuck Pigeons is still my favorite catch phrase of all time!

Heather and Rob, I was thinking the exact same thing, but didn't have a proper way to deliver the line.
And "Fuck Pigeons" is the first blog I read on here, and it made me laugh till I cried. I spent the following several hours reading all his blogs....

Must agree with all. Love this blog. Not many people's post make me as ecstatic

Now if I might paraphrase for the poor parent who is so offended by McDonald's support of gays:

"Dear McDonalds, I was perfectly comfortable slowly poisoning my children - but you ruined this all for me. I no longer feel comfortable using your company to do this. Your promotion of acceptance and people loving each (even if your stance might be a purely business/political tactic) is offensive to me. Rest assured that I will now poison my children using another business."

Sincerely,
A loving parent
