Hate must come with a side of waffle fries.

On Friday, the culture war between Chick-fil-A and gay rights activists came to a head in Torrance, California, a suburb of Los Angeles. On the night before the planned gay kiss-in, a Chick-fil-A store was the target of some graffiti artist with a sense of humor.  The Chick-fil-A was spraypainted with “Tastes Like Hate” akin to the traditional Chick-fil-A painting cow mascot.

While it is very clever, it’s still not legal to deface a building.  No matter your feelings on Chick-fil-A as a corporation or as a chicken restaurant, that’s the kind of thing that earns you a hefty fine or a court date, if you’re not lucky.  Still, as geek graffiti goes, it’s pretty solid.  Not quite the “For The Horde” on the Alliance construction sign, but still pretty good in a Banksy sort of way.

Am I the only person who really wants Chick-fil-A these days?  It’s not even a political statement; I haven’t had their chicken in years (since I stopped going to the mall), but with everyone talking about it, all I want is some waffle fries!  I kind of hate everyone for waking that craving in me.

Usually, when someone talks about hot beats, it’s just because they really like the music.  However, one unnamed woman on a flight from Beijing, China, to Melbourne, Australia, got exposed to some really hot beats.  A woman’s headphone burst into flames while she was wearing them! It’s just not safe to enjoy yourself anymore, between […]

This will be the last Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to ever be on an airplane.  After all, the phone has been pulled from shelves and pockets all around the world, because the phones tend to, uh… catch fire and/or explode.  It’s not a laughing matter if you’re flying over the Rocky Mountains with one in […]

Since 2014, Craig Sager has been caught in the fight of his life.  He’s been battling leukemia since 2014, and he’s had multiple stem-cell treatments and rounds of radiation, and he continues to struggle against the disease for all he’s worth.  He’s been a very public face for most of his life, and now he’s engaged […]

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]

Fashion designers look for inspiration everywhere.  Some of it is pop culture, like Friday the 13th-inspired hoodies.  Other fashions are inspired by low culture, like deluxe Snuggies.  Some people turn to the culture of their past for inspiration, like the 8-bit video games they grew up on.  Italian fashion house Moschino is partnering with Nintendo […]
