    Went to the mall today (outdoor mall in Santa Monica) after a long bike ride.

    Damn near every chain store was decked out in rainbows. Over the top decorations all over. All the major companies in IG, Twitter and FB put rainbows as their avatars. It was like fucking Christmas.

    Is this new phenomenom going this over the top with pride month and rainbows? Is Straight America appropriating the rainbow and pride month from the gays? Will we still have hairy, greased up dudes in leather crotches pants or are they on the outside looking in now?

    Don't remember it being this mainstream and curated in the past.

    This is a real problem. Seriously.

    Dude could have just said their food is crap and left it at that.

    This is like some recent discussion here about racism in movies.

    If it makes money they'll provide rainbow fry cups...duh. If it made them money they would put swastikas on the fry cups.

    There are very few things someone won't do for money.

    I'm not saying that a rainbow McFry is a bad thing. I'm saying it isn't just a coincidence that they do it.

    Careful there Bodyman! Your beginning to give the impression you look at the world as characters in a fishbowl, you on the outside looking in.
    I ain't going to buy those Rainbow fries! But it ain't the rainbow.
    From the other side of the fishbowl.

    Did anyone suggest it was a coincidence?

    Isn't that sort of like suggesting that water isn't dry? Have you considered telling us that Disneyland is not located in Kamchatka? Or that humans do not have 10 legs composed of moldy cheese?

    When I see rainbows I always think the Merry Pranksters are around....RIP Ken Kesey and shoutout to the Rainbow Family nomads still out there in Bluebird Schoolbus Gypsy Wagons and tie dyed attire! Anyone having issues with any gay pride celebrations just proves that gays are just having more fun than you are.

    Sly once jammed with Jerry Garcia and Ken Kesey on that famous school bus (there may have been a doobie involved). Now how cool is that.
