Chick-fil-A, great American chicken store, has this inconvenient reputation of being quite, quite Christian and, through its nonprofit organization, for supporting groups that are known to be anti-gay, like Focus on the Family and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (WHICH EXISTS). WELL! In the name of Digging Freedom (this is actually how you dig freedom), three drag queens who call themselves Willam Belli, Detox, and Vicky Vox, put together this rather brilliant and professional music video. The ladies take Wilson Phillips' "Hold On," transform it into a catchy ode to fried boneless bird breasts and waffle fries, RAP, and say a polite "F U" to Chick-fil-A's elderly gay-for-God billionaire CEO, S. Truett Cathy (while do these rich old men always have initials for first names???)
There are really too many witty lyrics to transcribe here, but here's the chorus:
Some day somebody's gonna make you wanna gobble up a waffle fry
But no, no, don't you know, Chick-fil-A say you'll make the Baby Jesus cry
And the gist of the message:
So chow down at Chick-fil-A
So chow down at Chick-fil-A
Even if you're gay
...
Put it in your mouth
Don't matter if you're gay
Chow down at Chick-fil-A
Like some other conservatives we have the misfortune of knowing, the Baptist Chick-fil-A family is a fan of saying whatever a person wants to hear at a particular moment in time. So, son Dan Cathy apparently proclaimed last year, "While my family and I believe in the Biblical definition of marriage, we love and respect anyone who disagrees.” That is a nice way of putting that, if only it were not BS! Like a certain "steward of the Lord" we know, Dan Cathy writes on the C-f-A website that the point of Chick-fil-A is to "glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us.”
The company has also conducted some rather high-profile fundraisers with groups like the Pennsylvania Family Institute, which counts banning gay marriage among its beloved causes.
Anyway, back to the queens, who say they "just want a little meat without your Bible." But why give the bastards any of your money?!?! Perhaps the end goal is to make something so flattering that S. Truett will actually be inclined to accidentally watch the thing, during which he will be made very uncomfortable by (enjoy) all the sexy therein! [Forbes]
When I first saw the name T. Boone Pickens, many years ago, I misread it as T. Bone Pickens.
