Bob Vander Plaats of ThE FaMiLy LeAdEr isn’t going to go to Starbucks anymore, nuh uh!

We are sure Starbucks is very upset about a handful of bigots refusing to visit their establishment.

This makes me smile:

According to One News Now, AFA executive vice president Buddy Smith was rebuffed by chairman Frank Blake and other company executives when he presented them with their demands during the company’s annual shareholders meeting in Atlanta.

“We presented to the shareholders and to the chairman and the board of directors over 470,000 signature petitions asking them to remain neutral in the culture war, specifically when it addresses gay marriage and homosexual activist groups,” Smith told the website.

Blake reportedly thanked Smith but reiterated the company’s support for gay rights.

So, of course, The Home Depot will continue to be boycotted by The Hate Group, which has obviously been so, so painful for The Home Depot so far.

Ha.

The American Family Association recently encouraged their wingnuts to take their hammers and flail their arms wildly away from The Home Depot, due to the fact that The Home Depot is Too Gay For Words, so let’s take the temperature of their boycott:

NEW YORK (AP) — Investors regained some enthusiasm for stocks Tuesday, sending prices sharply higher after reports showed a slight improvement in the housing market and a big jump in industrial production.

Investors were also encouraged by earnings from Home Depot Inc. and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. that were better than expected. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 103 points. All the major stock indexes were up more than 1 percent. Interest rates rose as investors moved out of the bond market and back into stocks.

It looks like the Home Depot boycott is just as successful as all of their other boycotts!

Also, fail.

My latest Wonkette piece is up, and I decided to use this week’s post to have a little fun with all of the various boycotts gays and those who hate them are ginning up right now. It’s hard to keep track, so hopefully this will help:

ACTION ALERT! You may not be aware that there are products and services you are supposed to be boycotting right now, so your Wonkette reporter of homosexuals is here to save the day! Things used to be much simpler, back when the American Family Association was boycotting McDonald’s for their excessive gayness, by leaving hilarious comments on the internet about how their Real ‘Murkan families didn’t NEED no Big Macs, and could just suck their trans fats through a straw, like Jesus taught them in the Bible.

Go on then, read it all.

He’s referring to it as “our boycott,” which has me worried that he’s teetering on the precipice between his usual insanity and all-out, strait-jacket required, mental illness.  Also, he is glad he is boycotting McDonalds, because it’s keeping him from getting fatter.  Also, he dares the gay community to “negate our boycott,” but warns that we will get fat if we do.

This is all over that French “Come as You Are” commercial, by the way.  He is very mad at McDonalds for promoting the “disease-producing lifestyle” of gayness to French teenagers.  Apparently no one ever taught Peter how to put on a damn condom.

To sum up:  Peter LaBarbera, not currently eating at McDonalds, mad about a French teevee commercial, wishes the gays would negate his boycott so he could be the skinny girl in school for the first time, like, ever.

Happy Sunday funday!
