McDonalds serving "Gay unfriendly fries" for 77 years now, finally gets PC - was [jim.sovereign@optusnet.com.au: McDonald launches gay friendly fries to back Washington DC’s Gay Pride parade.]
I'm shocked I tell you, truly shocked, that McDonalds has been serving Gay-unfriendly fries for so long, indeed 77 years no less! I'm surprised that McDs is so open about their White Supremacist past - I thought they hired better PR agencies. Oh well, the things we learn. <no dry humour intended, only literal interpretations allowed; we're all asburger's spectrum around McDonalds anyway...> ----- Forwarded message from Jim <jim.sovereign@optusnet.com.au> ----- From: Jim <jim.sovereign@optusnet.com.au> Date: Thu, 8 Jun 2017 17:09:57 +1000 Subject: McDonald launches gay friendly fries to back Washington DC’s Gay Pride parade. It’s irritating enough when food corporations pander to Muslims with their Halal demands, now we have McDonald’s supporting the LGBTI agenda with their politically correct “gay friendly” fries. What’s next on McDonald’s menu: a “Big Gay” burger to go with their gay fries? Is this another example of corporate social engineering? McDonald’s deserves to be boycotted for this public relations stunt, not to mention its awful food.
