Chick-fil-A gets drag-queen endorsement with new music video

Chick-fil-A is known for two things; their down-home, simple style of chicken-sandwich preparation, and their down-home, simple style of bigotry and religious discrimination. With that in mind, they've received the ultimate endorsement: the hard-to-reach drag-queen demographic. Drag queens William Belli, Detox, and Vicki Vox just released a tongue-in-rouged-cheek endorsement of the chicken chain in music-video form. And it's awesome.
The oddly well-produced video reminds the viewer to "put it in your mouth" — speaking, of course, of Chick-fil-A products. It's a clever indictment of the chain's anti-gay business style, using a faux endorsement to point out the absurdity in running a business this way in 2012. They also rhyme "bible" with "libel," which is something I'm always supportive of.
Chick-fil-A could consider embracing this image and become a kind of funky intolerance-themed restaurant. They could be like Medieval Times, but with bigots instead of knights, and a sense of social values more akin to actual medieval times. And serfs! Everyone loves serfs!

<3. Chick-fil-a is SO GOOD. I'm sorry I ate before I knew what they stood for, because it pains me not give them my business. If they would back down, I'd be eating mor chikin!
I'm almost glad they're such Neanderthal bigots. That stuff is NOT health food, like almost everything else that tastes really good, so my arteries are grateful for a reason for me not to eat it.
Look at me now, Dad.
You're streets ahead.
Living in the Deep South, there's a Chick-Fil-A around every corner and that place definitely has the best chicken nuggets. This is my first time hearing about any controversy surrounding Chick-Fil-A, probably because even if people down here knew about its homophobic messages, they wouldn't care. It's so fucked up that we're living like it's 1912 instead of 2012 but if I were to ever suggest not going there because of their views, i would get responses like "hell yeah that makes me want to go there every day!"
