McDonald's hears: 'I'm NOT lovin' it!'
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | July 22, 2008 | Bob Unruh

The corporate headquarters for McDonald's is hearing from store managers in California that customers are upset over the company's pro-homosexual advocacy and they aren't going to take it any longer.

Yuriy Popko, one of several Christians who staged a sign-waving protest at the Golden Arches in Citrus Heights today, said the protest at that location was suspended when store officials agreed to convey protesters' objections to the corporate office.

Protesters object to McDonald's homosexual advocacy at a local McDonald's franchise July 22, 2008, in Citrus Heights, Calif.

"They came out and talked with us. Basically we had two requests: a notice to the public and that they e-mail our concerns to the corporate office," Popko told WND.

He said McDonald's officials confirmed they already had notified both regional and international headquarters about the concerns. But the company has a prohibition on local posted notices, so Popko said the Christians agreed to write a letter that McDonald's would forward also.

"Tomorrow we're going to be at a different location," he said.

I was eating breakfast at McDonalds on a pretty regular basis, but have not been there in about 1 month.

I'm not big on boycotting, but I do spend my money with folks that don't take positions opposite to the family values I hold. “They have their rights to do what they please, so do I”

Lousy food, but quick service to go along with taking your money to pass along to those trying to force the homosexual agenda on you and your family.
What are you going to do and how are you going to feel when you come home and some old queen is trying to seduce your young son?

Perhaps they'll change their advertising slogan to fit the local demographic: I'm Rubbin' It!

Who was the 11 lb brain who decided that a hamburger stand should support a deviant life style, instead of selling a decent product?

Give that jerk a whopper!

Ray Kroc must be rolling in his grave. What the hell do McDonalds hamburgers and fries have to do with homosexuality?

A company with decision-makers this stupid deserves to die.

It's almost as if the top executives of McDonalds sat around asking, "What is the fastest way we can think of to destroy this worldwide business?"

"Forget about the food. Let's be advocates of same-sex marriage and the homosexual lifestyle!"

"Let's forget that homosexuals make up a tiny percentage of the population. Let's insult traditional marriage and family - the lifestyle preferred by the vast majority of our customers!"

Sheesh!

I would think McDonald’s would be one of the last places homosexuals would go to eat anyway. They seem very high-strung when it comes to food and decorating.

I would agree. Notice all the borders on the signs and the sign shadows don't match up.

Here in Memphis and the surrounding area the food is so-so and the service is the worst! When you have a society of people who can’t speak english (not talking about mexicans)and who could care less if they have a job or not, it reflects in their service. I would have to say Chic-Fil_A is the best as far as cleanliness and service. They also hire polite young people who seem to care.

Try it with a 3 yr old who loves to go to “Old McDonalds”.

Honey, we can’t go there any more because they are doing things that God says we shouldn’t.

That was one of the things I wrote to McDonald’s.

I told them their mission was to sell hamburgers, not to change a culture.

Also, to piss off 98% of the buying public to appease 2% of the population that is openly homosexual is a stupid way to run a business.

“Guess I’ll go with Wendy’s hot-and-juicy instead of a Big Mac.”

Wendy’s has implemented protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees.

Chic-Fil-A is very pro-American and hires people that can speak and communicate in English. I support them every chance I get and the breakfast is pretty good also.

Real sign.

Fake signs.Why?

Now tell me this news report is "photoshopped"..
 
It's really a good idea to do a little basic research
 
before posting claims of photo manipulation on this public political forum read,
 
literally, by millions every day.
 
Subsequently, the leftists who troll this site tend to pick up on your dubious claims of fakery and repost them on their
 
leftist forums and blogs as fact.

Thanks for the support.
This argument has a lot of liberals (and/or homosexuals) pushing it on numerous websites.
If a lie is told often enough, people begin to believe it.
It’s a lot easier to do that than research the facts yourself...
Thanks again!

Truett Cathy, founder of Chick-fil-A is a great conservative and a strong Christian. All the restaurants are closed on Sundays so the employees can attend church and spend time with their families. I’ve never eaten there - is it good? I just remember reading about Cathy and thought what a great guy he was.

Whoa, did I push a button or what?
The photoshopped idea I first noted perpetrated by the Good-As-You (GAY)website; now it is hitting most sites that use the photo and allow comments. Perhaps independent thinkers also can raise such a flag, but the main vehicle for its dissemination comes from G-A-Y.
And the homosexual activists will come up with anything to hopefully discredit their opponents, which is why I made my comment.
If you do not belong to the homosexual camp, your overreaction and rude language sure don’t lend credence to that idea. Or stimulate reasonable desire for discussion over “a difference in opinions.”

Your implication that I am a fag because I think a photo looks
suspect is more than enough to justify any "rude language".

Photos are easily manipulated.

Suspecting the validity of a photo on the internet does not indicate faggotry.

Coming to FR and claiming a long-standing poster is a homosexual activist just because he thinks the image looks photoshopped doesn't lend much credence to your methods.

And FWIW, the images look photoshopped to me as well. No shadows or variances of the reflectivity of the signs. Compare that to the Mickey D's sign.
