Chick-fil-A has come under fire for its offensive, gendered name, since "chick" is a crude way to refer to a biologically female individual of the human species.
Effective immediately, all Chick-fil-A stores will be renamed "They-fil-A," using an accepted gender-neutral pronoun rather than the archaic term "chick."
"The term 'chick' is an outdated word that has no place in modern society. We are sorry for any hurt we have caused to the female individuals patronizing our business," said CEO Dan Cathy before stopping and shining the shoes of the black reporter interviewing him. "Would you like me to wash your car too? Anything you want."
"Um... this is awkward," the reporter said uncomfortably as Cathy started in on her left shoe. "Can you just treat me like a normal human being?"
"Nonsense!" Cathy replied as he ran out to the parking lot to get started on her car.
The restaurant has changed its name several times in its history. It was originally named "Broad-fil-A," but that was changed in the '80s after Dan Cathy's father told him "Never call chicks 'broads.'" They also tried the name "Chick-fil-A Crystal" for a brief period, but it didn't catch on.
For this latest name change, the term "Lady-fil-A" was considered but rejected as it contains gendered language and could offend some, which is something Chick-fil-A never, ever wants to do.
It looks like "They-fil-A" will stick for a while, though, until the masses find something unacceptable about it in a decade or so.
Go, BB has unerring aim!
They’re still Mud to me.
It does roll nicely off the tongue
How about Cuck-fil-A?
Skirt-Fil-A
I’m a fan of Film Noir.
Me, too. I like it a lot!
I-fil-A You-fil-A They-fil-A...mmmm not feeling it.
Movies with sexy dames and smoking guns? What’s not to like? :)
I had to check to see if BB was the source
Sad
In New Jersey, they honored their governor by calling themselves D!ck-Phil-A.
I’ll go there just as soon as I find my shine box.
Not Xir-Fil-A?
Yeah but....in French the phrase “jeuene fille” means a young girl....so we’re not going far enough. We got to get rid of the “fil” part. We still could offend french speaking ‘they” or transgender types....cant call it chicken fillets...cause you got the “chick” problem...how about BAPC-A....broiled avian protein concentrate-A. Has a nice ring....oooh...that would offend those who mark a marriage covenant with a finger ring....I stopped going to chik fil a...since they went all politically correct...popeyes is pretty good and cheaper.
Fowl-Fil-A

This part of the story is not satire. Cathy has been the biggest sellout to conservatives in the history of corporate america.
LOVE IT
what do you expect from a guy named Cathy?
