Gay Marriage? Immoral. Lying? Just Fine.

Last week, the Jim Henson Company announced it would no longer partner with Chick-fil-A in the wake of the fast food company’s acknowledged support of anti-gay organizations. Now, however, Chick-fil-A officials are reportedly telling franchise customers that the kids’ meal toys which were produced as part of the now-severed collaboration have been recalled due to safety issues.

A photograph of a sign reportedly displayed at a Chick-fil-A restaurant at the Shops at Willow Bend in Plano, Texas has gone viral on Twitter and the blogosphere. The sign reads as follows:

“We apologize for any inconvenience but as of 7/19/2012 Chick-fil-A has voluntarily recalled all of the Jim Henson’s Creature Shop Puppet Kids Meal Toys due to a possible safety issue. Please be advised that there have not been any cases in which a child has actually been injured, however there have been some reports of children getting their fingers stuck in the holes of the puppets.”

Plain and simple lying.  End of story.  Chick-fil-A went from a place that made good food whose politics and such you could just ignore to a laughing stock.

If they truly believed in the Christian values they use as an excuse to hate gay marriage, lying would probably cross a line, but that would require believing in what they spew, not spewing forth for convenience.
