Arby’s blocking conservative critics on Twitter?

You may recall that yesterday, Arby’s announced via Twitter that it would no longer advertise on Rush Limbaugh’s show. Conservatives were not at all happy – and they got very vocal about it.

Well, as it turns out, Arby’s has begun blocking conservatives who have tweeted complaints.

I’m glad that their food turned to barely edible crap a year or two ago. I used to love Arbys.

Boycotting them now will be no sacrifice to my taste-buds and tummy as it would have been before

Ima withold any righteous anger for the time being to see if Arbys come to their senses.

No righteous anger, more like a shrug of the shoulders.

Any company foolish enough to put politics before business DESERVES to lose (over) half their customers.

Mmmm… beef flavored blocks of salt

Heh, add Quiznos to that list.

The sad/funny/ironic part is that Arby’s caved to a bunch of people who most likely don’t even eat at Arby’s.

I’m sure they predicted the lynch mob and they should do all they can to protect their brand. They got great food and I will eat the more often from now on.

I listen to Rush a lot and have never heard an Arby’s ad there. Must be a local thing. Well I won’t be eating there…oh wait, I already don’t eat there.

So rainbow-tinted faux-beef is popular with the skank market? Hell if I had known their chow was such slut bait I could have saved a ton on well drinks…

I feel sorry for the person who has to BE Arby on Twitter.

Reminds me of a hysterical Ellen deGenres monologue about the poor person who has to work for a shampoo 1-800 line

Thanks for the laugh. Reminded me of my first tech support job back in the day:
Customer: Hello? I can’t get my modem to work. I tell it to dial and nothing happens!
Me: OK, let’s check a couple of basic things first. Is the modem plugged into the phone jack?
Customer: (Pauses for several seconds) Ooooohhhhhhhhhh!! I’ll call you back.

Customer never called back. I assumed they were good after that.

I’m sorry, does anyone really eat Arby’s overpriced crap anymore….?

Worded like a true conservative for the White Christian Male™ power structure.

No more Arbys for our family.

Please do. Heart failure is as good of a way to die as any other.

Wow, I didn’t know Arbys accepted food stamps.

“Power structure” huh? Your aging hippie mother indoctrinate you with that embarrassing 60′s lingo or your overpriced sociology professor?

Oh, and I am a full on athiest from way back before all the trendy fcks started claiming to be one. Sorry you can’t handle any opinions outside of pre-packaged world views.

ClassicCon on April 6, 2012 at 10:29 AM
