Actually, if I was BK, I would make a simple business equation: If I offend and alienate people or I am associated with offensive statements, I lose potential customers. Therefore, I should attempt to, at the very least, distance myself from anything that would damage my brand. [huh]
Just because people have the right to freedom speech, doesn't mean they have the right to make offensive remarks without any come back.
Not to mention that the legal right to free expression does not hold good over a private business' space, which their fb page is.
Also never fails to amaze me how many people seem to think the right to say something means freedom from consequence or criticism.
To be fair, maybe they just fear that if they don't uphold "free speech", their jackets might shrink. Kidding....
'We do not practice neither censorship nor doctoring of opinion.'
'Anyone is allowed to have his opinion.'
'We believe in freedom of speech and the bearing of arms.'
Yet...
'Speaking against this regime is not allowed.'
I don't know about you...but to me..that is damn FUNNY...lol
lol Agreed! Both this irony, and that they portray this as Schitzo's thing yet they themselves aleo used the same offensive terminology.
On the plus side, it's a nice reminder of howmuch more pleasant it is round here these days.
