Jim Henson Company Yanks Its Toys From Chick-Fil-A Kids' Meals
Newsbusters ^ | 7-22-12 | Tim Graham

Don't look now, but the Muppets want a divorce. The Jim Henson Company is scrapping its kids'-meal-toy relationship with Chick-Fil-A now that the left-wing pressure is on to boycott the Christian fried-chicken chain, which is offering toys right now from the Jim Henson Creatures' Shop line.

Muppet chieftain Lisa Henson went to Harvard and was president of Columbia Pictures, making her a progressive elite on both sides of the country. They announced on their Facebook page Friday they were strong supporters of "gay marriage" and were donating their Chick-Fil-A proceeds to the gay censorship cause:

The Jim Henson Company has celebrated and embraced diversity and inclusiveness for over fifty years and we have notified Chick-Fil-A that we do not wish to partner with them on any future endeavors. Lisa Henson, our CEO is personally a strong supporter of gay marriage and has directed us to donate the payment we received from Chick-Fil-A to GLAAD.

The visuals this conjures up in my imagination are positively disturbing.

“Big Bird” indeed!

There are a lot of national chains we don’t get here despite our proximity to the Chicago Metro Area.

NorthWest Indiana (Gary, East Chicago, Hammond etc) is a very iffy business climate. (Unless of course, you happen to be a crack or meth dealer. And in that case, you’d better be connected to the right gang.)

Yes it’s very important to support the marriage of men who put their penises in other mens’ rectums. And Jim Henson will pursue this important agenda by denying a toy to kids who buy a chicken sandwich.

I thought all the muppets were in retirement homes, addicted to Oxycontin.

Thanks for putting it in its proper perspective. These homophiles are loathesome.

"JC Penney "

Not everyone is aware that JC Penny's new president Michael Francis, made the outspoken homosexual Ellen DeGenerate their national spokes (person?).

Sales plummeted and he lost his job quick.

First I've ever heard that!

A lot of people have bacterial pnuemonia that aren't HIV.

Just get some chicken tenders, pick a sauce, an order of fries and a coke. Don’t try to go on Sunday. ;-)

WHo are these f2gs thinking they can enlist in their pink war against America or Christians? Some “happy” people who cannot deal with reality. They all do this stuff with creep factor, for political reasons. Gay marriage is creepy.

I have never eaten at Chick-Fil-A but I guess it is time. I may even do it weekly if I like it.
