Local Red Deer diner goes full idiot
http://globalnews.ca/news/2944864/re...parks-outrage/
Quote:
A sign in front of a central Alberta diner sparked outrage this week after people who saw it complained it was homophobic and transphobic.
The billboard outside of Queen’s Diner in Red Deer, Alta. read “Its [sic] Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve! Pick a washroom.”

I mean it's pretty obvious these people are complete morons.

The excuse/apology is hilariously pathetic.

"The comment was directed toward the fact that we do not have room in our small little diner to change or add washrooms. Our wording was incorrect, sorry."

So basically they want to go bankrupt.
Oh..... wait, this happened in Red Deer. Sales boost of 300% in the Dodge Ram capital of the world.

If it was Adam and Steve, wouldn't they just need one washroom?

"I'm sorry for how it came across" is a borderline non-apology apology as well. It's basically "I'm sorry you were offended". Not to mention that only an idiot uses a highway billboard - the analog equivalent of Twitter - to wade into a controversial topic area.

I cant even imagine what the plan or endgame was on this one. Where did they think this was going to benefit them or anyone at any time?

Also if they don't want more bathrooms they should support the us whatever bathroom your comfortable with. Maybe they actually support transgender rights as picking a washroom is exactly what the transgendered want to be able to do.
Being anti gay yet pro Trans gendered is an odd position to take

A hundred bucks to the first gay couple to post a pic kissing in front of the creepy sign! Also...how did they get that many "A's"? The stupid sign store is always out of "A's". I'd kill for that many "A's".
Also, I need proof of homosexual status for the $100. No gay for the pay.

You can't just buy a Chik-Fil-A franchise, you'll have to earn it.
