Boycott McDonald’s Idiots To Boycott Hallmark Now

I wanted to leave an alt-text, but there was nowhere to type an alt-text inTree-destroying imperial corporation Hallmark recently decided to start selling same-sex wedding cards, because that’s something you can do in all of two (2) states now. In other words, the Hallmark company has just literally taken a piss on Jesus Christ’s tomb thingy. And guess who’s upset, yes, that’s correct, the mouth-breathing Fundies at the American Family Association, whose recent “Boycott McDonald’s” initiative produced some of the finest comedy in the history of the Internet. They have a petition site up now directed at Hallmark. “BoycottHallmark.com” doesn’t currently exist, but the AFA has bought the domain name and when it launches, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GOD let there be a comments section.

    This boycott brought to you by Manhunt.com.

    I always knew the McRib was a homosexual gay plot.

  4. freakishlystrong says at 5:10 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    So, fat people won’t be sending cheesy get well cards for the cardiac arrests then?

  5. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:10 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Gewd fer dem. I all ways knuu those Hallmark cards wer totolie gay!

  6. AnnieGetYourFun says at 5:12 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    I don’t eat at McDonald’s or shop at Hallmark - does this mean I have to start? I don’t like burgers or Precious Moments figurines, but if I can help promote the homosexual gay agenda by making out with 16-year old McDonald’s employees, then, I feel I will have done my part.

  7. AhAHAHahahA, Hallmark. BWahahAHahAHahaaa. I tell you, once corporate America understands how much money there is to be made out of this, same-sex marriage legislation with go through lickety-split (or whatever) in all states.

    And then there’s divorce.

  8. BillyClubb says at 5:15 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    “when you care enough to send the very best.” But promoting same-sex marriage for profit is not the very best for families or our nation.
    Larry Craig will be so disappointed, as will Ted Haggard, and so many other Republicans.

  9. tonashideska says at 5:16 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    The reception for the

    LIEBERMAN/GRAHAM
    wedding

    is in the Tiki Room.

  10. tunamelt says at 5:16 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Oh my God, but how can they boycott these cards. I feel like they are the key demo for this.

  11. Larry Fine says at 5:16 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    In those same sex marrigae things, isn’t one person the man and one the woman anyway?

  12. loudmouthredhead says at 5:18 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Please, PLEASE let someone on the site leave their real address again so we can send them a few of these cards.

    AnnieGetYourFun: Did you see Hallmark’s new Precious Moments line, including the classic “First Reach-Around”?

  13. freakishlystrong says at 5:19 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    AnnieGetYourFun: Or perhaps, have a precious moment with a hallmark lady person…

  14. AngryBlakGuy says at 5:19 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    …just like the Christian right; homosexuality should never be presented, spoken of or addressed in modern society! Instead it should be ignored until your pastor is caught having sex with 3 men while snorting meth out of the butt crack of your 13 year choir boy son!

  15. loudmouthredhead says at 5:20 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    tunamelt: They only start the “flopping” once you’ve been fat AND lost it…most of the boycotters haven’t reached that crucial second stage.

  16. Dave J. says at 5:20 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Next up, they will boycott the Unisex Pinpoint Oxford Shirt, for making them feel confused about things.

  17. pinko-commie says at 5:21 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Does Hallmark make any cards for commitment-free same-sex rendezvous in airport bathrooms?

  18. loudmouthredhead says at 5:22 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: Imagine the condolence card made for THAT…

  19. KevoTron says at 5:22 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    “But promoting same-sex marriage for profit is not the very best for families or our nation.”

    By this logic Hallmark also promotes illness, death and miscellaneous sad times. Fucking sick perverts.

    TGY: Didn’t you hear? This whole gay agenda same-sex marriage thing is really just a trumped up way for divorce lawyers to make a buck. Conservative blog commenters told me and it is true.

  20. trophy(forparticipation)wife says at 5:23 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Obama names Va. Gov. Kaine as running mate - WSJ

  21. trophy(forparticipation)wife says at 5:26 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Bloomberg says WSJ says Tim Kaine is Barack Obama’s VP.

  22. AnnieGetYourFun says at 5:27 pm, August 22nd, 2008
  23. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 5:27 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    AnnieGetYourFun: I can’t wait for all the sexy new valentine’s day cards. Why go on one date when you can send a nice greeting card invite to a good ol’ buttsex party?

  24. trophy(forparticipation)wife says at 5:28 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    hoax email, I think. I give up.

  25. AnnieGetYourFun says at 5:29 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    trophy(forparticipation)wife: Don’t DO that.

  26. loudmouthredhead says at 5:29 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    trophy(forparticipation)wife: Obama names Tim Kaine as new mate - gay card I just received.

  27. Darehead says at 5:29 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    If you go to the homepage of American Family Association, sponsoring this boycott, and follow the links to “healing from sexual sin and homosexuality,” you’ll find links such orgs as “Americans for Truth.” Once you pass page 2, you can almost feel the fundies beating off. So graphic, I can’t give link.

  28. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:29 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Dave J.: They should also boycott rainbows because rainbows were put here by Satan to deceive us.

  29. trophy(forparticipation)wife says at 5:30 pm, August 22nd, 2008
  30. freakishlystrong says at 5:31 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: Dear ____________, please accept this McDonald’s gift certificate in sincere apologies for what you thought you saw, when in fact it was just nude wrestling practice with your son serving as referee, we do not have the buttsecks because we are republicans.

    Sincerely,
    Cletus.

  31. trophy(forparticipation)wife says at 5:31 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    AnnieGetYourFun: Sorry mami.

  32. Dave J. says at 5:33 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Next up, they will boycott teddy bears, because, just think about it, America. Teddy=Kennedy, and bears=Andrew Sullivan.

  33. greatgooglymoogly says at 5:34 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    And the work never ceases. This is sad/hilarious: http://www.businessreform.com/article.php?articleID=11076&ofid=2. Apparently, Exxon, Radio Shack and Perot Systems (among others) still hate the gays, thank goodness.

  34. Outstando says at 5:35 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    It’s so un-American to boycott gay-loving McDonald’s and Hallmark. What are they going to boycott next, porn? Moving to fucking Russia you freaks.

  35. LittlePig says at 5:39 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    TGY: ‘lickety-split’ would be the lesbian marriages. ‘fast as greased lightning’ would be the male version.

  36. tunamelt says at 5:39 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: Goddammit, I always knew there was something funny about Skittles, and that Lucky Charms leprechaun, too.

  37. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:40 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Outstando: They should probably boycott their churches….. *hint hint*

  38. Dave J. says at 5:41 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Outstando: They definitely boycott gay porn. They usually have to watch the DVDs 15-20 times each to make sure they are as bad as they had heard.

  39. BayhSexual says at 5:41 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    NotUrEvryDayWEzl: ooooh buttsex parties! but we have to go get sum mcnuggits furst.

  40. Outstando says at 5:44 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    BayhSexual: Get me some honey mustard would ya sweetie?

  41. sanantonerose says at 5:44 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    When will these fine Americans understand that COMMERCE trumps MORALS any day of the week?

    Welcome to consumer nation. Get in line.

  42. sanantonerose says at 5:47 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    I’ll bet the same-sex cards are funnier and sport better designs. The gays get all the good stuff!

  43. Volumptuous says at 5:49 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    (A)ME(rica)N (Family) ASS(ociation)

    BOY(cott)

    I’m seeing a pattern.

  44. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:49 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    sanantonerose: They are much better shoppers.

  45. Volumptuous says at 5:51 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    They should also boycott John McCain. AbbA is the gayest band ever.

  46. AngryBlakGuy says at 5:52 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    freakishlystrong: …hehe, P.S. May I suggest the Big Mac, that special sauce is finger licking good!

    loudmouthredhead: …maybe you can bring their son a gift instead?

    So, they are also promoting all of these candidates: http://www.hallmark.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/article|10001|10051|/HallmarkSite/Humor/GCS_HUMOR_PARTY

  48. pinko-commie says at 5:55 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    greatgooglymoogly: That list of the anti-gay companies is so funny. My favorite is:

    “6. Shaw Industries Inc. (a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.)

    Industry: Textile manufacturing

    Why We Picked Them: They’ve done nothing, to the best of our knowledge, to support the GLBT cause in any significant way.”

    Ooooooh, but what is Shaw Industries Inc. doing secretly that they aren’t telling you? Don’t ask, don’t tell.

  49. WhatTheHeck says at 5:56 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    So that’s why tropical storm Fay is hanging around Florida.
    God is upset with Hallmark and wants to drown some people in Florida..

    I hear when the authorities checked the Madrid airline crash, they found
    a Hallmark same-sex card amongst the charred remains.

    Now it makes sense to me. Gay people get god so pissed off all the time
    that he mobilizes his minions to boycotting action.

  50. trophy(forparticipation)wife says at 5:59 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    I can’t wait for the ads on the Hallmark Channel.

  51. trophy(forparticipation)wife says at 6:02 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    The boy named Joyce started the empire.

    Joyce C. Hall was a preacher’s son, named for a bishop in his father’s church, one Isaac Joyce.

  52. Volumptuous says at 6:02 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    trophy(forparticipation)wife: Oh no! McDonalds ad’s on the Hallmark Channel? Just thinking about it makes me want to have the buttsecks.

  53. Outstando says at 6:05 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    “To Our Beloved Grandson, We’re Sorry to Hear About Your State’s Lack of Values, And Your Rejection of the Teachings of the Lord, But We Love You Anyway. We Guess.”

    You may now fist the bride.

  56. warreno says at 6:29 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Larry Fine: It depends on the day of the week. Good couples alternate. Sundays are, of course, the Day of Rest, generally spent feasting on the McEucharist under the Smiling Visage of the Clown and Pearly Ga — um, Golden Arches.

  57. Texan Bulldoggette says at 7:00 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    tonashideska: Don’t you think that should be Crist/Graham? I mean Joey does have a Mrs., but in Lyndsey & Charlie, you have two free-wheeling bachelors who’ve been looking for Mrs. Right for about 30 years now. And seriously, if Joe can get a woman to look at him naked, I’m sure Lyndsey & Charlie could have if they really tried.

  58. S. Cullen Bonz says at 7:07 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Aren’t McDonalds burgers made of 100% analangus beef?

  59. cockblock says at 7:34 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    greatgooglymoogly: Teh gays would never shop at Radio Shack.

  60. Schadenfried says at 7:52 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    I was waiting for Wonkette to post this. Does that mean that Chuck Norris will take Walker, Texas Ranger off the Hallmark Channel?

  61. DieOnTheTurnpike says at 8:22 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    AmericanValues: It is now! :)

  62. S.Luggo says at 9:02 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    pinko-commie: Yes. It’s the toe-toe, cheek-to-cheek, double reach-around series designed by GWB’s personal pastor Ted Haggard, with help from Beelzebub and the RNC “Big Tent” committee (Bob Allen, Chairman, so to speak).

  63. gliberal says at 9:05 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    These will go on the card rack right next to “Good luck with your colonoscopy” and “Heard you’re a hooker!”

  64. Oscar Folsom Cleveland: “WE USED TO STOP AT MICKEY DEE’S AFTER SERVICES.”
    First mistake. The grease on your both hands from the Super=Sized fries is substitute for K-Y. Yeoouch. The wife must love it rough in a very Christian sorta way.

  65. The Incomparable Tiny Valdez says at 10:12 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    Boycott is the twink version of Manhunt.

  66. CanadianBacon says at 10:36 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    This is all greek to me.

  67. villageatrois says at 5:02 am, August 24th, 2008

    Clerical point of order! To the fundies, it’s OK to piss on Jesus’ grave. After a three-day waiting period under Roman Law, Jesus is no longer there.
