I noticed most of the British papers were relentlessly PC in their approach to the Chick fil A story. The Mail had about thirty photos, all of which depicted small smatterings of gays close up and very fuzzy pictures of the huge lines behind them. One of their stories didn’t show the crowds until about picture 20.

This might seem a credible story in England, where they didn’t have trouble driving home from work because of the huge lines and police presence directing traffic around ChickfilA. (I noticed that a point of rage on the DU boards - the traffic jams for CFA drove them crazy)

Here, we laugh. Unless the Bears have a radical gay marketing manager, that Wed taught them a big lesson. In fact, I’ll go out on a limb and say the marketing staff of many, many companies did a heads up with that. JC Penneys, whose stock dropped enormously after their two daddies on Fathers Day probably had a fit.

The reporterette for the local FOX news was standing outside somewhere (couldn't tell where since it was a very close up shot of her head) doing the story but claimed she couldn't show the protesters because it was too far for the camera. Say what? Since when can a tv news camera not zoom in from three blocks away? IOW, there was no protest. The only crowds we heard of were those supporting CFA.
