So an asshole with a pizza parlor refuses to cater a wedding yesterday...

[catnhatnh]

Which they say they have never done and admit they never expect to happen
....and today is "forced to close" because of internet hostility...
...and nearly 150k is donated to support them.

Seems pretty fortuitous. And not a bad days pay.

If I promise to hate the gays as hard as I can can I get some cash?

[JI7]

1. is that more or less than they gave zimmerman for killing a black kid ?

[catnhatnh]

2. Less

But there's no real conflict involved-I merely have to say that in a ridiculous hypothetical I would behave poorly. I'm not sure I could shoot a black child even if it was a big money gainer...

[JI7]

6. i couldn't do either but it's more a point about what these people consider to be worthy of support

[Suich]

8. I remember the fund raiser for Zimmerman...

Does anyone know how much was raised???

[Suich]

3. 150K??? Pshaw! Check this out...

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

7. Good gawd, up to $478,000!

These cretins display their bigotry for all to see and get a half million dollar payday.

I am officially gobsmacked.

[City Lights]

15. Makes me want to cry.

Or spit nails.

[kelly1mm]

4. $478,317 as of 2:30 am eastern time. nt

[catnhatnh]

5. Serves me right

for thinking that this afternoon was their height of crazy...

[Downwinder]

9. Get paid more to not cater weddings

than to cater weddings.

Wonder what I can get paid to not do?

[Control-Z]

10. This has that rotting fish smell.

At least to me. Has anyone checked to see if they were even a profitable business before their hate speech debut?

[Brother Buzz]

29. Has anyone checked to see if the pizza dude and Glenn Beck exchange Christmas cards?

You know what I mean, Vern?

[Sparhawk60]

11. I Refuse to Serve Gay Klingon's

how many bars of gold pressed Latinum do I get?

[ProfessorGAC]

13. None. But You Are Granted Free Access Through This Quadrant

Don't press your luck, Ferengi.

[Oneironaut]

12. You would think ppl would realize the scam by now.

That is, being the first to piss people off during a contraversy, and then exciting a contingent of followers to donate to you. "Oh, poor me! But here's a link to my GoFundMe" they say.

Totally not obvious. Not at all.

[sendero]

14. This gambit ...

.... will work for a while - but not for long.

[modem77]

16. Perhaps we should avoid attacking the little guy.

I knew going after a mom and pop business was a bad idea. Most people will feel sorry for them. We are better off staying focused on politicians creating divisive laws and not trying to be divisive ourselves.

[yardwork]

17. Nobody went after them. They set up the scam.

[RockaFowler]

25. They talked to the media

No-one forced them to talk about stupid stuff like catering a Gay Wedding

The Father was the one who said he chose to be a heterosexual. No-one forced them to say ANYTHING.

[pintobean]

26. That's pretty much the same

logic that the cavers use to justify their mockery and attempts at fucking up the lives of DUers.

[LeftinOH]

18. My kitchen needs to be renovated; I hate the gays because Jesus

the gays aren't allowing me to renovate my kitchen. Somebody please help me!!


Think this will work? I really do need a kitchen renovation.

[NightWatcher]

19. up to half a million now for the haters

I wonder who will end up with this hate bounty.

[pipoman]

20. As a caterer I can't imagine not booking every event

I can do. That said, I can't imagine wanting someone who hates me making my food. I would rather find some place else to cater for me than to force someone to do it..just asking for passive aggression...not something I want in my food...

[Bettie]

21. On my "mommy" board

the Right Wingers are crowing over several comments left saying (paraphrasing here) I'm gay and I'm donating because I think it is awesome for you to discriminate against me.

Not going back there today too much evil.

Goes to show that bigots always have each other's backs.

[Bettie]

22. Also, makes you wonder

how many others will express their hatred for "teh gays" so that they too can cash in.

[ksoze]

23. Who serves Pizza at a wedding reception?

Not a good sign when the wedding invitation says, "Ceremony at 4:00, pizza reception at 7:00".

[tavernier]

24. Loved Letterman's comment last night...

"If a couple asks your pizza joint to cater their wedding, they probably are NOT gay."

[truebluegreen]

27. Grifters gonna grift.

Moochers!
