The first Chick-fil-A within the Portland city limits will open in a strip club that served as the stage for a deadly April 1 shooting, according to police reports and a design review recently approved by the City of Portland.

Oh no fast food! I'll take my Fedora and eat elsewhere!

Have you seen Idiocracy? There are scenes in it that show fast food + a strip club. I think it's funny that Chick-fil-A, which is ran by a pretty religious org, is opening one there. I don't give a shit at all that they are doing it, I just thought the relevance to Idiocracy was funny and should be commented on. So based on your comment, I'm assuming you either haven't seen Idiocracy, or don't remember that part, or thought my comment was somehow morally against what they are doing. Either way, I think you took what I meant wrong.

I have, and having a strip club with food or a restaurant wasn't an Idiocracy invention. So yeah I guess you did notice a common theme and then tied it to Idiocracy for some reason. Definitely not to call people idiots though.
