Dan Calabrese, editor-in-chief of Best
of Cain, a website described as “the web extension of the
phenomenon that is The Herman Cain Show,” wants Burger King
to hold the gay sex.
Writing in response to Burger King's
“Proud Whopper” – a
limited time burger wrapped in a rainbow-themed paper which states
“We are all the same inside” – Calabrese asked the fast
food chain to “Hold the pickles; Hold the lettuce; Lunch and gay
sex can't upset us!”
“Sigh. I can tell you for sure that
when I get ready to consume my lunch, the thing I want to be thinking
about is dude-on-dude action,” Calabrese
said.
“I actually prefer the Whopper to its
counterparts at McDonald's and Wendy's, and the ice cream shakes are
really good when the machine doesn't break (which is sadly not that
often).”
“Problem, though: You tell me not to
judge you for what you do that is in blatant rebellion against the
Word of God. OK. You tell me not to be a hater and not to obsess
over certain sins when others are just as troubling to God. Fair
enough.”
“But I don't remember the last time
adulterers, murderers or drunk drivers convinced a burger chain to
name a product after them, and publicly declared their pride in what
they do. You're the ones who are making it an issue, not me. I'm
just telling you what God's Word says. If you don't want to hear
that, then don't insist on constantly making it a topic of public
conversation. (Then again, the thieves have the Hamburglar, so there
is that.)”
“So if Burger King wants to let its
affiliation be known in the culture war, again I say, fair enough.
One more reason I'm glad I learned to cook in college. Not only do I
not need Burger King, but it helped me to attract a super-hot wife
who remains super-hot even after 17 years of marriage to me.”
He added: “She's a girl, by the way.”
Christian conservative talk show host
Steve Deace suggested in a tweet to followers that the “Proud
Whopper” discriminates against Christians: “Over at @BurgerKing
you can 'be your way' unless your way is you're a Christian.
