Viral Video: Rude Customer To Fast Food Employees – “Get It Right The First Time”

This has gone viral quickly across the interwebs.

A hideous blond shrew screaming and pounding the counter at a kebab fast food restaurant because the employees made her kebabs with green peppers instead of red peppers.

The employees, who inform the woman that the restaurant’s kebabs are usually made with green peppers, offer to make the woman a new order.

“My kids don’t eat green things!”

“How long is it going to take? I don’t have fifteen minutes for you not to know English!”

“If you want to be polite to the customer, you speak English in America to the customer.”

“Get it right the first time! The customer is always right! This is America, and you get it right the first time! You get it right the first time!”

Make sure you watch the most fabulous exit.

Breitbart: Coca-Cola Super Bowl commercial featuring diversity was “offensive”

Breitbart columnist Michael Patrick Leahy has his panties all bunched up over last night’s multi-cultural, multi-language Coca-Cola commercial featuring “American the Beautiful.”

In his article post title, Keahy referred to the commercial as “offensive.”

“Executives at Coca Cola thought it was a good idea to run a 60 second Super Bowl ad featuring children singing America The Beautiful – a deeply Christian patriotic anthem whose theme is unity – in several foreign languages. The ad also prominently features a gay couple.

Conservatives instantly lit up social media with objections, with many vowing to boycott the soda company’s products. The lyrics of the song, written in 1893 by Wellesley College Professor Katherine Lee Bates, ask God to grant America ‘brotherhood / From sea to shining sea.’

As far as the executives at Coca Cola are concerned, however, the United States of America is no longer a nation ruled by the Constitution and American traditions in which English is the language of government. It is not a nation governed in the Anglo-American tradition of liberty.

It is instead a nation governed by some all inclusive multi-cultural synthesis of the various forms of government in the world, as expressed by the multiple languages used in the Super Bowl ad to sing a uniquely American hymn that celebrates our heritage.”

Regarding the last line there – that would be “diversity.” And that’s exactly what America is, Mr. Leahy.

Let me know if I’m going to fast for you here.

Here is the commercial below:

Fox & Friends can’t handle the idea of transgender people

Via Equality Matters: The hosts of Fox & Friends found themselves confounded by the announcement that Bradley Manning, the former Army private convicted of leaking classified documents to WikiLeaks, identifies as a female and wishes to be identified as Chelsea Manning.

On the August 22 edition of Fox & Friends, guest host Ainsley Earhart reported that the Manning case had taken a “bizarre” turn with lawyer David Coombs’ announcement that his client wishes to live her life as a woman.

While the GLAAD Media Reference Guide calls on outlets to refer to transgender people by their chosen pronouns, Earhart and co-hosts Brian Kilmeade and Steve Doocy repeatedly referred to Manning as a male. Earhart reported that “this news comes as his lawyers, her lawyers – what do you say here, I don’t know” are seeking a presidential pardon for Manning. Kilmeade introduced the segment saying, “You’ve got to take it slow because it confuses people”:

The one U.S. date not canceled at this writing is the Harmony Bar in Madison, WI.  When phoned for a response,  a person answering the phone responded, “I won’t know a damn thing until the boss comes back in eight days.”

UPDATE

Michelle Shocked made this statement today to CNN:

“I do not, nor have I ever, said or believed that God hates homosexuals (or anyone else). I said that some of His followers believe that. [I was] predicting the absurd way my description of, my apology for, the intolerant would no doubt be misinterpreted. The show was all music, and the audience tweets said they enjoyed it. The commentary came about ten minutes later, in the encore. I’m very sorry: I don’t always express myself as clearly as I should. But don’t believe everything you read on Facebook or Twitter. My view of homosexuality has changed not one iota. I judge not. And my statement equating repeal of Prop 8 with the coming of the End Times was neither literal nor ironic: it was a description of how some folks – not me – feel about gay marriage.

“Folks wonder about my sexuality, but denying being gay is like saying I never beat my husband. My sexuality is not at issue. What is being questioned is my support for the LGBT community, and that has never wavered. Music and activism have always been part of my work and my journey, which I hope and intend to continue. I am damn sorry. If I could repeat the evening, I would make a clearer distinction between a set of beliefs I abhor, and my human sympathy for the folks who hold them. I say this not because I want to look better. I have no wish to hide my faults, and – clearly – I couldn’t if I tried.” 

I’m guessing having a large number of concerts cancelled could be an incentive to address the issue – days later.

Not sure I buy the sincerity of the non-apology.  Practically the whole audience walked out and they are the ones who misunderstood?

Sure.

Indiana: Public school teacher supports holding separate prom to exclude gay students

Indiana public school teacher Diane Medley, speaking in support of a plan to stage a separate senior prom that will ban gay students from attending:

“I believe that it was life circumstances and they chose to be that way; God created everyone equal. Homosexual students come to me with their problems, and I don’t agree with them, but I care about them. It’s the same thing with my special needs kids, I think God puts everyone in our lives for a reason. So the same goes for gays? Do you think they have a purpose in life?’ No I honestly don’t. Sorry, but I don’t. I don’t understand it. A gay person isn’t going to come up and make some change unless it’s to realize that it was a choice and they’re choosing God.”

Dan Savage reacts:

Let’s pause here to grieve for all the special education students in Sullivan, Indiana. Students with learning disabilities have it hard enough without getting stuck with a mentally challenged special ed teacher. You know else has it hard enough? I imagine queer kids growing up in Sullivan, Indiana, population 4,249, have it hard enough without having to watch shit like this on the evening news.

The anti-gay haters at Sullivan High have a Facebook page: 2013 Sullivan Traditional Prom. One of the organizers of this hate group would like us to know that “this is not a hate group.” 2013 Sullivan Traditional Prom is just a group that has been organized with the sole purpose of creating an alternate prom that excludes gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender students and to achieve that end the group’s members are calling LGBT kids “offensive,” sick, and sinful.

What’s hateful about that? Besides, you know, everything?

I completely agree with Dan. Their last high school celebration these folks have and they want to plan as an exclusionary event. That how you want to head out into the world? Really?

Detroit Tigers Torri Hunter uncomfortable with idea of “out” teammate

Detroit Tigers right fielder Torri Hunter isn’t down with the idea of an openly gay teammate, telling the Los Angeles Times he believes an out teammate would make him “uncomfortable.”

“For me, as a Christian…I will be uncomfortable because in all my teachings and all my learning, biblically, it’s not right,” the former Angels outfielder told the publication. “It will be difficult and uncomfortable.”

Well, for goodness sake, let’s please make sure Mr. Hunter is ‘comfortable.’ No matter if that means gay professional athletes remain in the closet and UNcomfortable.
