I'm lovin' it!

This is pretty funny: my favourite conservative organisation American Family Association (go check them out at http://www.afa.net) has decided to go after the McDonalds coorperation, now that their Ford boycot has failed miserably. This could prove to be a hoot, since, although they started out with just an Action Alert, this will probably lead to a full scale boycot, and therefor another flop on their resume (Ford wasn't the only one thusfar, their Disney boycot was unsuccesfull as well).

So, what happened? McDonalds has decided to start donating money to an organisation called National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC), and of course, being the good Christians they are, the AFA is outraged. As usual AFA comes with their lame excuses, saying things like McDonalds should stay out of what they call 'the culture war' and focus on delivering fast food. It's funny, if it was the church McDonalds decided to give millions of dollars to, I bet AFA wasn't so focused on fast food anymore, and would reach out and grab the cash...

I'm not really sure how far copyright laws go, so I won't post the entire article here, as I'm sure they'll slap some cease & desist order on me, but here I present you with a hilarious quote (it's from a sample letter they urge you to send to McDonalds headquarters):

'Your efforts should be in providing the finest fast food products possible, not in a political battle - especially helping promote an aberrant and destructive behavior.'

Well well... 'aberrant and destructive behavior' no less... Poor guys at AFA. They are so desperately trying to grasp on to their silly old fashioned values, with less and less of an audience. I think I'll go grab myself a Big Mac and sponsor MacDonalds for this great decision!
