Have you ever in your life ordered a cake with an inscription and then not so much as glanced at it before leaving the store with it? If you were an employee hell-bent on insulting a gay customer, wouldn’t you find a less traceable way to do it than to hand him a cake with a slur written on top and risk him calling your manager over right then and there in the store to view the smoking gun for himself?
If you need further evidence that shenanigans are afoot here, note the comments cited in this piece by Mollie Hemingway questioning whether the color of the icing for the word “Fag” is really the same as for the other words on the cake. I confess, I didn’t expect Whole Foods to respond so forcefully, not only vowing legal action against Brown but actually posting the video to debunk him, despite the fact that they’re completely in the right in wanting to protect their reputation. But that’s shrewd crisis management in the Internet age, the surveillance video especially. The only way to chase down a lie that’s gone viral is with a truth capable of going viral. They know what they’re doing.
Get the ass on the floor and kick his teeth down his throat. So to speak.
about time people started to fight fire with fire. I ma so sick of these people who think because they have their sex in an unnatural way then they should look to sue people and make some money.
I am glad to see a business fighting back on these fake hate crimes.
Thank You! That was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this.
I guess he couldn't see through that clear cellophane.
Every single time I have ordered a cake when I go to pick it up they actually hold the cake up and show me BFORE they even put it in the box.
Not just one store, but all stores, have done that to make sure the cake is what I ordered.
Film Actors Guild. They thought it was a for an awards ceremony.

That reminds me of a story.
My best friend and have birthdays just days apart so on our 21st bday we decided to have a combined party for both of us. We ordered the cake to have both of our first names on it and invited a ton of people and had it at the Red Onion in Seal Beach, CA. (not sure that’s even there anymore).
Anyway, her name was Phyllis but they spelled it Phallis.
O.M.G.! We had so much fun with that! We laughed and laughed and so did our friends.
You can only imagine the jokes that came from that. It was a GREAT party.
Anyway, I digress...
What was my point?
Actually, we did. My wife ordered a birthday cake for our daughter and she told them she wanted it to say happy birthday in green. That’s exactly what we got when we opened up the box at home. “Happy Birthday In Green”
