Dear Cracker Barrel: That SUCKING SOUND You’re Hearing is NOT
…the usual fourhunnertpounder on his second bowl of cream gravy.
@CrackerBarrel has pulled anything with #philrobertson off the shelf. But will continue to sell other @Duck_Commander products. #boycottCB

To boycott Cracker Barrel wouldn’t I have to eat there first?
Just ran across this:
http://weaselzippers.us/?p=165238
“Today, we are putting all our Duck Dynasty products back in our stores.
And, we apologize for offending you.
We respect all individuals right to express their beliefs. We certainly did not mean to have anyone think different.
We sincerely hope you will continue to be part of our Cracker Barrel family.”
Translation: “Holy CRAP, boss, these people are really pissed! You know what this’ll do to the bottom line?”
@Firehand
I do believe you got that translated perfectly.
(Obligatory snark. That’s differently, not different. And individual’s or individuals’) I hate it when a major corp. can’t even get their apologies properly proofread. (And yes, I’m sure I forgot a comma or period somewhere – but I’m not a major corporation…:-P)
Kathy, I’ll take it, grammatical errors and all, for this sentence:
None of that weaselly ‘we apologise if you were offended’ (trans: we meant to do it & hope to do so in the future)
