Is this cake a fake?

[vi edit]

Yeah Whole Foods took the high road in letting him eat his own cake on this one. They'll get enough social justice out of this without needing to legally intervene.

I can't even being to wrap my head around what he was trying to achieve by this.

Money.


The LGBT rallies around anyone they think has been wronged and they also shop at Whole Foods. If Whole Foods was not able to so quickly and irrefutably smack down this fucktard he would have gotten a lot of donations from the community and gotten a quick settlement from WF who would not want to fight it. Without the security camera footage he probably would have gotten away with it, put his piddly-little shitbag church in the news and cashed in a big windfall.

No admission of guilt or anything? Man, Whole Foods is really taking the high road.

this is one of those situations where its much more profitable to be cool rather than vengeful.

Eh. LGBT community is a pretty educated bunch. I think most of us looked at that picture and thought this guy was full of shit. I would think anyone with the ability to rub two brain cells together would question why a cake maker at Whole Foods that was gay herself would ever do that.

The credibility of Mr. Brown’s story took a beating as armchair detectives, including at least one icing expert, raised doubts about his timeline and the plausibility of his claim that he had failed to notice the offending word through the cake’s clear-topped box while in the store.

Please tell me where I can sign up for this job 😀

If he had gotten it from WalMart some of us might believe him.

Now that we know what really happened, your comment seems even more poignant.

Whole Foods is probably one of the few major business chains that has a strong liberal stance and it was sorta incredible to believe anyone working there would be openly anti-gay.

The pastor should have probably tried walmart instead. Most people still wouldnt have believed him but it would have made more sense.

I hate Whole Foods but they should take legal action on him for him basically trying to extort him. No business big or small should be extorted like that.

I've taken 3 marketing classes and we never covered gay pastors making false claims on cake.

As serious an issue as gay cake-making is these days, we should probably add it to the curriculum.

The pastor should be required to undergo psychological counseling.

There's not a straight up clinical diagnosis for attention whore. Although Narcissism is pretty close.

Somewhere there is someone thinking "There's a lesson to be learned from this: make sure I put the label back in the same place when I try this."

I just noticed that he has a MacBook, the #1 choice of computer for gay people. :awe:
