Just getting out in front of this, several business signs have popped up on youtube with messages supporting Chick-Fil_A...HOWEVER...

Not that I think some places might not do it because of the 'record breaking sales', but wanted to snopes it out.

Two South Bend MI, McD's did have signs like that during the morning rush but were absent by the time lunch time rolled around.

What I find depressing is that a lot of people will ignore/not care that the signs are fake and will blow up all over again.

I think Youtube has gotten the original (though there is now another) because the video I saw had over 100k hits, and now only one with 460 or so hits can be found.

People don't bother to fact check anymore. I am sure there are some that do support Chick-Fil-A. I just think fake signs are in extremely poor taste.

I think that particular fake sign was more to make a point about how people are dependent on McDs. The whole "Now try to boycott us" part. They are using the framework pf Chick-Fil-A to make the point.

This is very clearly a fratching topic.
