      No, the ceo is homophobic, but the chain itself has no restrictions on hiring gay people, serving gay people, etc. some people don’t seem to get the difference.

    Some reason? I’m going to go for money, the reason is money. Humans have an incredible tolerance for advertisement right now and the majority of people (sorry, lemmites, I know you feel different, but if you think your views are widespread think again) are becoming accustomed to subscribing to a variety of streaming services. If you have capital and know anything about advertising, this is a cash grab for you. A lot of content can be produced quite cheaply now.

      I am vehemently against ads in all places for all things. It’s astounding to me when my family or friends are shocked that I’m so against them. People just accept ads everywhere and it’s terrible.

        I have often mused on how to remotely demolish billboards along highways. Almost all ads are garbage.

        The only ones I’m even remotely OK with are the old-timey painted ones on the sides of brick buildings.

          Rocket launcher? If you’re in the US you might even be able to obtain one legally. If you can’t, maybe a truck-mounted trebuchet would work.

        I really thought the early Netflix era would have emboldened this attitude in everyone, but yes it’s incredible how tolerant so many people are about more and more ads in everything as long as it means something is cheap or free. I don’t have a ton of money to throw around either, but the cost of eliminating ads and just paying for what I am getting is almost always worth it.

    So, what, they’re going to make shows about how to fuck up waffle fries? Or how about the part where all their chicken’s bland as shit. “Spicy” my ass. Oh, how about the part where they’re owned by a bunch of Christian nut jobs? How are they going to make that into a channel? Play reruns of Rich Church Wants Your Donations?

      Popeyes is the superior chicken fast food. I’ll fight anyone on this hill.

      I’ve had practice eating at Popeyes.
