Good As You

Wow, I don't believe I've ever encountered a poll that allows respondents to give such amazingly nuanced answers. In looking at other WND pools, I take it that this is standard practice. Personally, I'm split between "The company's disturbing stance gives a whole new meaning to Big Mac" and "I don't know about the corporation, but I sure like McDonald's french fries"...

Looks like they have 3,290 in the "Boycottin' it" column. That's probably a mere spit in the old proverbial bucket compared to the vast multitude of new-found McDonald's patrons who will find it to be a more pleasant dining experience in their absence.

I wish that Logan's Roadhouse would manage to piss the bastards off!

Interesting how the bottom 4 categories add up to 38 votes in aggregate but all count for 0%, even though 28 votes on the next single line up counts for 1%. I guess I flunked fundy math.

These polls make me laugh :P

I don't know about you, but there's at least 3 MacDonald's in my area alone, and have yet to see an empty parking lot or drive-thru. Looks like business as usual to me!

Calling a boycott on MacDonald's is about as effective as telling some hyper-ass kid with ADHD to calm the fuck down.

But, you know - let the WND nuts think they're winning. Don't spoil their hallucinations, it'll fuck with their self-induced mind trips.

As they should make you laugh, Anon. These polls are among the most comically over-the-top bits put out by the social conservatives.

General query: How much exposure is this boycott even getting outside of the fundie and LGBT communities?

Zero, Zilch, Nada, Zip! Or something there about, Baldran.

You know, a story came out 3 or 4 days before they announced their boycott which said that MCD had been flagged by an automated stock trading system. The trading system determined that MCD was beginning a downward trend. I don't know if these guys give a crap about the stock market, but I certainly could see them believing that a downward trend was a "sign from god" that he (or she) was giving them the nod to boycott.

I just hope that they shorted MCD big-time! And that they are now "taking it in the shorts" (financially that is).

Not much, Baldran. I've seen nobody picketing any location, and have personally not seen anything related to it on the local news. Maybe Americans don't hate gays enough to pay attention to the loons.

And remember, with these guys: up is down, fiction is fact, red is green, obama is osama, and losing is winning.

We have to give credit where credit is due. I mean they got all 1,559 McDonald's boycotters nationwide to vote in their poll.

WND is a such a joke. I hope that whomever the next president is their press secretary will stop entertaining the idiotic questions from WND so-called "reporters". Ever listen to "Les" drone on and on in a daily briefing? You'd think that they could get better spokesmen for their position so they wouldn't sound like nutjobs...

They ecomony is tanking because people are pissed at big companies about social issues?

That is some brilliant new economic theory right there. It really demonstrates the kind of grounded, logical thinking that WND editors and readers promote.

These polls are absurd, they look like something in The Onion. It does not take someone with advanced knowledge of statistics to know how to create a basic internet poll; a basic familiarity with the internet would suffice.

Also I think everyone might be missing the point when we say that these boycotts don't work-they DO work, but you have to consider their purpose.

The point of these boycotts are to raise money for fundy organizations, increase membership, and provide content. They are markteing tactics; and the product they are marketing is hate and rage.

If they really DO believe that these boycotts are having any effect on society in general (which I doubt as they consistently declare victory in battles when they have clearly had zero impact, which again makes perfect sense as a marketing tactic-they know they will have to "sell" more boycotts in the future) then they are even more delusional then I thought.
