This. It made me lulz. Thank you.

Interestingly, the AP reported that the VP in charge of public relations for the company died of heart failure. Don't know if it was associated with the current kerfuffle . . .

Win.

So...is Trixie a bigot or does she just like the food?

She just likes the food and doesn't give a dam about controversy that doesn't involve the Great and Powerful Trixie. :}

"The Grrrrreat and Powerful Trixie! will have the grrrrreat and powerful combo #2!"

Its official i love this statement more than i love pie, and i love pie

Just so you know: Having tracked the money, I can honestly say that the groups to which CFA donates are not anti-gay. In addition, Dan Cathy's non-statement applies just as much against DOMA as it would against any gay marriage bill; both are temporal actions to define marriage.

Bluntly: A restaurant which employs openly-gay homosexuals and supports family counseling is not anti-gay. To declare any action t strengthen traditional families as "anti-gay" is to declare war upon heterosexual marriage, and I don't think anyone here wants to do that.

Eat the chicken, and know you're helping gay men and women find work.

Hear hear! I love a voice of reason ^_^

Nice to know someone does...

Wow... Had a look around at the other comments.

Send me a note. I'd like to talk with you about these matters!

What bugged me was when that Cathy fellow said "God" would strike down the US if we had gay marriage, (pure crap,) and that he only subscribed to the "Biblical" defitinion of marriage.

The guy obviously has zero clue as to how the Bible dictates marriages.

"On man and one woman"
Hi Solomon! This wife #17 or #18?

And was Cathy's own wife a virgin when she got married? If not, she should be stoned to death.

And lets look at Chick-Fil-A's biggest supporter. (In more ways than one.)
Rush Limbaugh.
What does his THREE ex-wives have to say about this controversy?

I know, believe me. (Rush has lost weight, btw.) What he said, though, was:

"I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say 'we know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage' and I pray God's mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to define what marriage is about."

That's as much about DOMA as gay marriage.

If you listen to what he said before that, btw, he was also talking about single-parent households.

It's possible he would Arch, so don't laugh at it--after all, he did wipe out Sodom and Gomorrah ages ago for their homo-sexual actions. You know, 'Man lying with man, and woman lying with woman'?
I don't remember the exacts of the verse, or where it's found since i haven't read that passage for some time, but that was the gist of the reason. That, and that they completely dis-regarded God.
As for the 18 wives, God looks down upon that as much as the homo/bi-sexuality.
The only time I recall it going 'unpunished'(the Bible never mentioned the outcome)was when Jacob was tricked into marrying a different girl from the one he wanted--he had worked seven years-worth of hard labor, and decided to work another seven for his true love. He hadn't married the first one intentionally, and loved her--but his true love, and the two children she begat were his favorites.
So I wouldn't recommend you pass judgement upon a real Christian so soon when you don't have concrete proof on everything you're going to attack--after all, God still loves these people despite the goings on.
Does he look down on Divorce? Of course--but he still loves the people that go through with it.
Does he despise sin? Naturally--but it's something no one can avoid. Myself included since no one alive today is perfect.

To be honest Arch, I didn't mean this as an attack--it's just, after going through my submissions(I haven't gone through them all lately since I've been busy), and came across this, I felt I had to call you out on a couple things.
But make no mistake, I have my own issues as well--just like everyone else, we all have an Achilles heel, a weakness. Satan can use that against me a lot, but God forgives me when I sincerely apologize.
I apologize for the lengthy response--especially since I can't remember all the names I needed to--but I wanted to let you know that God doesn't hate only same-sex marriage, but a whole lot of other stuff too. And he still loves everyone regardless. I mean, why would he have his son Jesus die on the cross for you in the first place, if he didn't care what we did? :<

You didn't mean it as an attack, but it IS an attack.

Your interpretations of the fantasy book called "The Bible" are so far off the mark as to be ludicrous.

The Bible itself is full of nonsense, lies, bad science, and propaganda.

One example:

Remember King Tut?
He had a chest in his tomb, that had a picture of Tut slaughtering dozens of Egypt's enemies.
In reality, Tut was a teenager who had a club foot.

This was an example of ancient propaganda, "Look how tought OUR ruler is!"

Likewise, Sodom and Gomorrah.
Both towns were on trade routs, and that's a great way to become rich.
One day a bad earthquake hit the area, and what fell down burned.
(Look at Tokyo, 1923.)

The tale of the earthquake and fire reaches a bunch of sheepherders who were (literally) dirt poor.
The tale gets embellished with the made-up stories of the *TERRIBLE* things a religion the sheepherders didn't like, and eventually the lurid tale of Sodom and Gomorrah gets written down.

Another example: The book of Exodus.
All credible archaelogical evidence say the book of Exodus never happened.
And the ancient Egyptians wrote EVERYTHING down, that's how empires stayed in place.

No, it's called enlightenment--or sharing what I know. If it truly was an attack, don't you think I'd be trying harder to force it down your throat? Maybe I'm just to nice to see it the way you do, but quoting what I know is an attack? < <;

'Bad Science'? Really? Science tries so hard to prove the Bible false, and so many people believe it--sure it isn't all made up of false-information, but a lot of Scientists have eventually, and will be proven wrong by God.

And you can honestly trust Archeologists to know what God did where? Not that I mistrust them, but they use 'logic' to explain things differently so they don't agree with the Bible. If the Bible is really full of rubbish, then how do you explain the unexplainable things that happen in this world? Are they ghosts? Satan's work?
Either way, whether you believe the Bible or not doesn't make it not true--I'll leave it at that since this is all I have to say on the matter, but I would like to know the sources of your information.
Are you getting them out of the Bible? If so, which passages are you finding these?

Plainly obvious you've been hit on the head with a big family Bible.

Your wack job religion, you beliefs, you go to...

Ok, tell you what.

Prove it.

Show some REAL evidence of anything supernatural.

Your deities did all kinds of miracles according to your Bible.

Nowadays, especially since we have good ways to record audio and video, those "miracles" have disappeared.

Don't forget you are talking about people who wrote the Bibel, they didn't know what caused earthquakes, volcanoes or even lightning.

Your own "saviour" had no clue as to what caused mental illness.

"...will be proven wrng by God."
Prove it.

You are the one making the claims about your big guy with a beard up in the sky, YOU are the one who is to show evidence.
If you can't, (or more likely you won't, then just crawl back to your fundy "church" and whine to your guru.

Okay, fine--I'll stop. Obviously you're set in concrete on proving someone wrong, so I'll stop. I'll ask God to deal with you instead, so go ahead and laugh at him all you want. :<

A 'Wack job' am I? If I'm one you are as well with facts that are hardly believable--if you want proof, read the Bible. Some things are easier to believe by trust than by proof.

Can you prove that the Earth is over 6000 years old? Can you prove that Evolution is still a day-to-day experience? Can you prove that the Big Bang ever happened?
You're wanting me to cough up proof over something simple to understand, but I bet you can't prove these questions without going to some high-up Scientist who will hand feed you more lies.

Try reading the Bible just once, and use that to prove God wrong instead. Go ahead. I dare you.

I'll go ahead and let you have the last say, but God will get the last laugh--'just because you don't believe something, doesn't mean it isn't true', after all. :3

"Okay, fine--I'll stop. Obviously you're set in concrete on proving someone wrong, so I'll stop. I'll ask God to deal with you instead, so go ahead and laugh at him all you want. :<"

There is no way to "prove someone wrong," that's a logical fallacy.
It's up to the person making the claim to show evidence to back up a claim.
I could say "Aliens wrote the Bible, prove me wrong!" obviously, there's no way you can.
But ask me to show evidence for the claim, and logically, I won't be able to.

"A 'Wack job' am I? If I'm one you are as well with facts that are hardly believable--if you want proof, read the Bible. Some things are easier to believe by trust than by proof."

Fine, the Bible was written by Martians. Trust me.

"Can you prove that the Earth is over 6000 years old? Can you prove that Evolution is still a day-to-day experience? Can you prove that the Big Bang ever happened?"

The Earth is less than 6000 years old? So every single scientist is in on this big conspiracy to fake the Earth being billions of years old? There are traces of civilizations that go back far longer than 6,000 years.
Young-Earth Creationism is a total crock. There isn't *ANY* evidence to back up this claim, except among Bible-thumpers.
Got news for you, "The Flintstones" is a cartoon.

"You're wanting me to cough up proof over something simple to understand, but I bet you can't prove these questions without going to some high-up Scientist who will hand feed you more lies."

Science works by the scientific method, not the "The Bible says so" arbitrary statement.

"Try reading the Bible just once, and use that to prove God wrong instead. Go ahead. I dare you."

I know more about the Bible than you could ever know.

Do rabbits chew their cud?
The Bible says so.

There's much more.

http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/abs/long.htm

http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/s.....ence/long.html

And I know that a large amount of the Bible is ancient propaganda, nothing but fabrications.
The book of Exodus is a complete fabrication.

"I'll go ahead and let you have the last say, but God will get the last laugh--'just because you don't believe something, doesn't mean it isn't true', after all. :3"

Show me your "God" exists.
If you can't it'll show me just what a sucker the theocrats see you as.

Then just take a look at the world around you--all the world's creatures are really intricate aren't they?
The beautiful birds, the fish, dogs, cats, humans. All of them work certain ways don't they?
Could evolution really have us all be so diverse? If so, why did we lose the 'features' the apes had?
And look at the rest of nature, like the trees. They know when the cold weather is coming, and start preparing by adaptation. In fact, Adaptation is what gave Darwin the idea for evolution in the first place.
Take for example, leaving a dog in a cold place for a few years. He may have shelter from humans, but won't his fur sort of change? Won't he get used to the cold climate, and new way of life?
Doesn't it sometimes make you wonder how everything operates the way it does? It needed planning, didn't it?
And who else could have planned it but God? Not Aliens. Silly Arch. XD
As strange as this may sound, and I know you'll tear me apart for it--some things are easier to believe without proof. Like say for example, you and your little brother have an awesome relationship? Wouldn't they believe what each other would say?(Regardless getting angry if it turned out be false, but still, a sort of trust is required)

I agree. Just someone trying to justify something they know isn't true.

The trouble comes in two parts, really. First, in general, when any kind of religious or conservative type these days mentions a desire to "stick to the traditional definition of marriage" or to "protect the sancity of marriage", that's just another way of them saying "I'm against gay marriage". It's not some advocacy of making divorce illegal, or returning to concepts supported in the bible like polygamy or being required to marry your brother's wife when he dies, it's just a roundabout way of trying to find more "tact" when saying something that is, whether they like it or not, slowly becoming more unpopular to say. I honestly don't see Cathy's comments being interpreted any other way.

The second trouble is looking past what CFA itself believes (either as a company or at the leadership/policy-making levels), and what people who go to something like a CFA Support Day, as by and large they've got a pretty specific mindset. The cause is some super-light smokescreen for something much more intolerant, perhaps spurned by the general delusion that, suddenly, the "Christian" attitude (I am going all out with the quotes in this comment, gotta ease up) is something that's being persecuted.

In the end, this is just another one of those blips on the equality timeline. I mean, every business on the face of the planet has likely either donated to some cause I don't believe in, or is actively doing things considerably more heinous than what CFA is doing (and CFA seems to be playing the capitalist angle much more than the religious one, since they've managed to spin the whole issue into something that increases their sales). The first amendment protects what CFA has to say (and one that both sides have had a taste of, with the right defending this action of free speech and the left having Nabisco's rainbow oreo from a few weeks back), and that's all well and good for them, even if gay marriage is basically an inevitability at this point. As usual, Stewart wraps it all up nicely in that regard. Still, there's something immediately disheartening about it all (insert heart attack quip here), which is related to my second paragraph up there: it's a massive flood of people who have gone out and, in a cheerful and capitalistic fashion, celebrated their right to have intolerant feelings. Which, in and of itself, just isn't right.

And also, because I forgot to bring it up above: http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2012/.....itable-giving/

Actually, Dan Cathy also ounded a "marriage camp" dedicated to preventing divorce as well.

How far did you track the money? Through its charitable arm, WinShape, Chick-Fil-A gives huge sums of money to several anti-gay groups: http://equalitymatters.org/factcheck/201111010001

I went to the same document EM used, then tracked it to each and every accepting organization, including the Marriage CoMission... another group founded by Dan Cathy. I checked their public actions and mission statements personally, rather than relying upon even the best-intentioned people to read them for me.

Since when is the Family Research Council, which is listed by the Southern Poverty Law Center as an anti-gay hate group, not anti-gay?

http://www.splcenter.org/get-inform.....search-council

The SPLC is a bit touchy. Remember, they also classify the Nation of Islam as a hate group for being "Black Separatist". The Family Research Council, while it does oppose same-sex marriage, is firmly against the methods of real hate groups such as the Ku Klux Klan; even their most devout evangelicals aren't proposing that sort of treatment for homosexuals.

Yes, Nation of Islam is a hate group. Not for being black separatist, but for being racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic. You seem to have confused making note of a group's ideology with the reason for it being a hate group, (although there is often quite a bit of overlap).

Also, saying that the FRC isn't the worst group is sort of like saying that the river didn't flood because the bridge wasn't swamped. They still take the position of exile, jail or torture for homosexuals.

Mmmnope. You seem to have accepted the uninformed statement that claimed they approve of the Uganda bill, which they don't. They also publicly disagreed with Peter Sprigg when he stupidly called for the criminalization of homosexuality, though they weren't willing to publicly call him the idiot he is.

Don't get me wrong, they're stupid. Stupid enough to buy some horribly bigoted "science". But they are not, by comparison to actual hate groups such as the KKK, anti-homosexual.

You start out attacking a position I didn't take, (I have said nothing about the FRC and the Ugandan kill the gays bill), then you link to something you clearly did not actually read or watch. If you actually pay attention to what Tony Perkins said, he only said that they weren't doing any active work on that issue.

Furthermore, the positions taken in that one video clip are enough to prove that the FRC is a hate group.

The Family Research Council earned their hate group status by using vicious anti-gay hatred and hysterics.

Nopony else but Rainbow Dash

A nice little tribute!

Winner! Oh Trixie, you love to be controversial. But I love you anyhow. You're pretty awesome.

I really do Like Trixie. Though the... implications sadden me. Gilda will be especially teary

For serious, though, you do such awesome, show-quality work.

Thanks!

Of course, it's possible that in the ponyverse, the controversy is that the owner of Chickweed-Fil-A is opposed, not to same-sex marriage, but to interracial marriage, in this case meaning marriage between ponies of different types (earth, unicorn, pegasus); thus, they'd object to Lyra and Bon Bon's relationship not because they're both mares, but because Lyra has a horn and Bon Bon doesn't.

Or it's possible that nothing of the sort is going on, and Rainbow Dash simply doesn't like the taste of chickweed. I dunno!

All these explanations seem pretty legit. I honestly expected someone in the show to be against inter-racial relationships. Then again, I also thought Cranky was going to be a widower whose wife was a pony. So my guessing capabilities are low ^.^

Maybe Chickweed is an acquired taste. that also makes sense.

Trixie has all the class of Sarah Palin. Bravo!

I actually work at Chickfila :/

And we appreciate your need to bring home some bacon does not make you a bad person.

i actually had no idea of what was going on till i read our weekly memo and i was shocked at whats going on, i completely am for gay rights and have no problem with them
as i am bi myself ^.^

Yeah, it's a tricky situation to be in. I'd expect most people don't think about the people in charge of the companies they buy stuff from so awareness of this probably wasn't too widespread until recently.

Hopefully once you've got some experience under your belt you'll be able move to another employer.

actually im happy where im at

If you like your job then that's better than most people manage and I don't begrudge you it. :D

Don't let your boss know...

actually she does and she has no problem with it

(points to answer) That's pretty typical. Chik-Fil-A has no problem with known homosexuals and bisexuals working at their restaurants, as Dan Cathy has pointed out before.

Thank you! ^ this comment <3

SCOOTALOO, NOOOOO!!!!

Nonono, that's Trixie. Triiiiick...seeeee.

Hehehe, I think he was referencing the fact that "Chick-fil-A" was a place that serves chicken.
Poor Scootaloo.. X3

Scootaloo's no chicken! Her official trading card says so.

Man, you people are confused!

*giggle*
Some people (myself included) must not have heard the news X3

So is Scootaloo!

https://d.facdn.net/art/ldpony/1343.....omic_total.png

That would work if ponies weren't herbivores. ;)

Never really had a Chick-Fil-A around here.

I must be in the dark, what's the controversy?

Basically, the management of Chick-Fil-A contribute funds to a number of anti-gay organisations.

It's most recently been brought to the fore by the Jim Henson company's decision to refuse to provide them with any more toys as part of restaurant promotions. CFA chose to frame this as a "Product Recall" over toy safety concerns.

no actually children were getting their fingers caught in the toys and they were recalled. we do NOT contribute funds to anti gay organizations.

WinShape Is Chick-Fil-A’s Charitable Arm. The WinShape Foundation is Chick-fil-A’s charitable arm, created by Chick-fil-A founder and chairman S. Truett Cathy in 1984. WinShape has received a substantial amount of funding from Chick-fil-A: in 2009 alone, WinShape received $7,814,788 from Chick-fil-A Inc. [Winshape 2009 Publicly Available IRS 990 Form via Foundation Center, accessed10/28/11]

WinShape Gave Over $1.7 Million To Anti-Gay Groups. In 2009 alone, WinShape donated $1,733,699 to multiple anti-gay groups:

Marriage & Family Legacy Fund: $994,199
Fellowship Of Christian Athletes: $480,000
National Christian Foundation: $240,000
Focus On The Family: $12,500
Eagle Forum: $5,000
Exodus International: $1,000
Family Research Council: $1,000

i dont see the proof of where this came from but i am not appreciatiing seeing how its being sread around that maybe i should leave where im at

http://dynamodata.fdncenter.org/990.....0912_990PF.pdf

Proof, it's in their tax forms.

i still see nothing that says (ANTI GAY ORGANIZATIONS) just because its christian doesnt always mean against gays, just saying. and not to be mean but from what i read, and what i know, chickfila supports marriage and things like that, it doesnt mean its AGAINST GAYS. just saying. im done with this.

If you go look into some of the organizations listed that they've given to you'll find it.

Marriage & Family Legacy Fund: Founded by Exodus North America’s Alan Chambers who has admitted to anti-gay housing discrimination: “As a property owner of Orlando, I wouldn’t rent to someone who is gay…”

Family Research Council: In 2010, The Congress was considering a public condemnation of Uganda’s “Kill the Gays Bill” which would put gay people on trial with a possible death sentence as punishment for homosexuality. Family Research Council spent $25,000 lobbying Congress to not disapprove of this bill.

Um, huh?

Marriage and Family Legacy Fund: Founded in 2007 by Dan Cathy. Sorry, but it's true; he was advertising his founding of it that year. While Alan Chambers supports M&FLF (hardly surprising, considering his public stance on traditional marriage), he is not the founder. (It's the funding and implementation arm of the Marriage CoMission, also founded by Cathy. While they're very much pro-traditional marriage, even their own website doesn't say a word against gay marriage.)

FRC: Sorry, but they don't like the Uganda bill any more than you do. (It may surprise you, but people who consider homosexuality a sin very seldom want to impose a death penalty for it.)

Now, if you want to yell at Dan Cathy about something, his company did give $1,000 to the Exodus International group. Not much compared to their own charities, no, but enough to merit a letter-writing campaign to remind Mr. Cathy that not everyone who says he's in favor of traditional marriage is to be trusted.

Sure seems like they did.

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ri.....il_lobbie.html

What the hell is "aggravated homosexuality"?

Homosexuality: "I'm gay!"
Aggravated homosexuality: "I'M GAY, DAMMIT!"

:}

I suspect Aggravated Homosexuality means "Actually doing it with other dudes"

It means violating the law more than once.

This becomes worse when you consider that bill not only criminalizes having gay sex, but knowing of someone who had gay sex and not reporting it. So if you have gay sex and don't report your partner....

It's like gay sex is... *bad* or something!

its all over the news lately do have a tv? And have you been on the internet lately, just google chicken fil a... Why are you denying it...

Don't like what the CEO of Chik Fil A said? Go eat a burger, or a taco, or whatever it is McDonald's puts in their buns. It's silly to boycott them for the CEO's personal beliefs. It's silly to mob the store because others are trying to boycott. The whole thing is just silly. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna have some Chik Fil A because both their chicken sandwiches and their waffle fries kick ass.

I think it's more the fact the company contributes money to anti-gay organisations who oppose gay marriage and civil liberties for homosexuals.

This stuff has a real impact on human lives.

When gays get so angry about a chicken sandwich, it is because Chick-fil-A has given around $5 million to fight to discriminate against us. When we praise brave Eagle Scouts who give up their badges in protest of the Boy Scouts of America’s prejudice, it’s not about scoring political points; it’s because there are kids in dens who are being taught to believe that they are less than equal. When we rant about the pastor who preaches that gays should be thrown into a concentration camp, we scream out of fear.

And our fears are justified — in the last seven days, a lesbian in Nebraska was carved with a knife, a gay man in Oklahoma was firebombed, and a girl in Kentucky was kicked and beaten — her jaw broken and her teeth knocked out — while her assailants allegedly hurled anti-gay slurs at her.

So no, it’s not just about a chicken sandwich.

-Stephen Christanto

Is it possible she simply isn't aware of any controversy?

Yes it is.

Canon..well, at least according to the artist.
'She just likes the food and doesn't give a dam about controversy that doesn't involve the Great and Powerful Trixie. :}'

Really now Trixie. What would your girlfriend Twilight say?

She'd say "Ewww! That show-off unicorn is NOT Trixie's girlfriend! The Great and Powerful Trixie has better taste than THAT!"

...then she'd pull out a small heart-shaped locket with Twilight's photo in it and whisper, "...oh, this delicious sandwich is only second to the taste of your lips when I finally kiss you, my love!" She holds the picture to her heaving bosom and falls upon her back, sighing as she hugs it tight. "Oh Twilight! How I hate you! And yet how I love you! AND YET I HATE YOU!" And with that she throws the picture up into the air and vaporizes it into ashes with a zap of magic. With a flip of her hair, she turns away and walks off before the ashes finish falling into a little pile on the ground, as a single tear rolls down her cheek.

And then she feels Snails breathing down her neck, so she punches him in the face.

"Oh Trixe, it's fine if you want to keep what happened between us private for now. But when you're ready I'll be there to sing it from the rooftops and write it in the sky with you."
*Mwa*
"... Wait, have you been eating at that Chickweed place?"

I personally don't care much for fast food. <_<

Also, chickweed doesn't look appetizing to me. <_< unless you are careful like you would be with saw a blowfish when taking certain parts.

Ha...its funny because its current

Girl can still enjoy her sammich. What mares and colts do in their own home matters not to Trixie..... unless they are worshiping her.

If you want my opinion I think some people are blowing this way out of porportion. I mean Chick-Fil-A supports traditional marrage, and what is wrong with that? I mean it's not like their racist or hate gays and discriminate aganst them. Also on a side note I don't believe Rainbow Dash is well... you know. I don't hate gays but if there is one thing I just can't let go of, is that they use the rainbow as their symbol. Why? Because that dosen't make sense. I mean if it was used to represent people of different races, backgrounds, and colors living together in harmony that would be ligit. It almost seems that they twisted it to match what they wanted it to be. And I can't stand that kind of thing. But... perhaps I'm over-reacting to a humorous comic thats just meant to poke fun. But like Chick-Fil-A everyone is this country has the right to voice their opinion and stand up for their beliefs.

Chick-Fil-A donates huge sums of money to anti-gay organizations. That's what's wrong with that.

And honestly, I don't really think Rainbow Dash is lesbian either. She strikes me as somepony who's just not interested in sex at all, because it would get in the way of training, practicing maneuvers, and being awesome. But she *could* be lesbian; there's nothing wrong with that. I drew her here because this cartoon idea popped into my head and amused me.

But let's not go putting down other people's symbols, hmm? Rainbow flags have been used as a gay pride symbol since the '70s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbo.....BT_movement%29

Good point I'm not trying to hate or anything. It's just that the symbol dosn't make sense to me... but what do I really know about it. And also I had no idea anti-gay organizations acually excisted, how does that even work? I'm not going to go into a long winded speach or anything because I've learned better than to rant about other peoples opinions and such. If people choose this way of life, heck its their life they have the right to chose. Well anyway I didn't mean to be rude. I'm a big fan of your artwork and can't wait for what you'll put out when the new season starts.

Thanks! I can't wait for it to start!

Symbols don't need to make sense - just ask both major political parties in the US.

Seriously, a donkey and an elephant?

Thats a good point!

Must be why people like the KKK are condemned.

If you're going to preach "tolerance for beliefs", you're quite hypocritical.

I hate Chick-Fil-A... not because they are anti-gay.. but because when I go to a fast food restaurant, spend $8 on a chicken sandwich and fries and a bottle water and leave HUNGRY you damned better well know that I will not go back to that business.

Same here.

I ate at Chick-Fil-A once, heck, Chicken McNuggets taste better!

I suppose Dashie is repulsed just because she doesn't like the food. At least, I hope that's what repulses her.

Indeed. I, too, hope that no business in Equestria is supporting any kind of intolerance toward any groups of ponies. After all, that wouldn't be compatible with the magic of friendship!

gasp... is that meat? :D

No, it's chickweed flowers and lettuce.

There may also be a pickle slice in there somewhere.

oh... any eggs at least? :P

Ponies probably use eggs in baking at least.

Also the Sisterhood Social episode involves an egg-balancing contest so I'd suggest that means they're also cool with eating them. (Though I don't know if equines can stomach them.)

Ponies don't neccessarily follow equine biology when it comes to what they can eat.

A fair number of things they've been depicted eating on the show are outright lethal to real ponies.

Yeah, like cherries, IIRC.

Very nice I like pics of Trixie, sure she's eating a veggie hamburgues... can't imagine a horse eating meat

meh... *eats chicken, beef and pork* I think Fluttershy would hate me...

This is brilliant on so many levels. ^__^

Good one, KT. This kitty definitely approves.

Wow! Trixie can't even enjoy a weed burger without somepony glaring at her

SCRUNCH FACE

RD and Trixie =P. But seriously I think stuff like the recent 'controversy' is retarded. Makes me want to resurface the movie Fight Club just so that I can get that quote, went something like, "You are not your clothes, your wallet, or the fucking car you drive. We are all the same decaying matter..". So I guess the nation can have pointless drama for drama's sake just like the internet ;)

It's funny because I already hated the character.
