You mean to tell me that the ‘anti-gay’ cake thing was a HOAX??!! [Darleen Click]

OMG, I’m shocked SHOCKED

Austin-based Whole Foods Market on Tuesday filed a lawsuit against an Austin man who claims he purchased a cake from the retailer that included a slur against gay people.

Whole Foods also released its security footage video from its North Lamar Boulevard flagship store that it says contradicts the man’s claims that the store included the slur on the “Love Wins” cake he ordered.

Whole Foods on Tuesday said it has investigated and said the man, Jordan Brown, made fraudulent claims. Brown filed a lawsuit against Whole Foods.

In a countersuit filed in state district court in Travis County, Whole Foods says Brown “intentionally, knowingly and falsely accused Whole Foods and its employees of writing the homophobic slur… on a custom made cake that he ordered from WFM’s Lamar Store in Austin…”

The suit denies those claims, and accuses Brown of acting “with malice, and he has damaged the reputation and business of WFM.”

The lawsuit seeks at least $100,000 in damages from Brown.

Refresh my memory, but when was the last time throughout all the ZOMG hate-crimes! we’ve seen gone “viral”, such crime turned out to be … you know … real?

    Why would anyone accuse those commies at Whole Foods of slurring anyone except straight white males? You would have to be incredibly stupid to do so.

    And yet, here we have Jordan Brown, who is going to lose this case, though we’ll never hear anything further except the initial, incorrect story.

    This is who they are. This is what they do.

  2. EBL says:

    If you are going to stage a fake hate crime, choose a better target than a Whole Foods in Austin.

    Although cranky-d, Whole Foods based clientele are of course white males (straight or otherwise) willing to pay 3x for items they could get in competing stores down the street. But Whole Foods offers them a secular Gaia version of a weekly blessing of sorts so they gladly pay.

    He probably stupidly assumed that Whole Foods would be so worried about bad press that they would settle quickly.

    I remember when CEO John Mackey of Whole foods opined on alternatives to Obamunistcare and was demonized by the Left as a result. Perhaps he learned from that to always fight back?

    I think it was a case of the dumb hoaxer simply not wanting to go out of their comfort zone to perpetrate their hoax.

    We always hurt the ones we love, especially when we are to lazy to go all the way over to the people we hate to commit our crimes.

  7. Mac says:

    He may have been afraid the cake decorator at Kroger or whatever would add the slur for real — without even a trigger warning! — violating his safe space.

  8. I’m willing to have my tax monies go to assuring that these people get their Safe Spaces…as long as they’re located in real safes.

  9. Mac says:

    I’d retweet that.

  10. ccoffer says:

    I seem to remember another cake hoax that didn’t get called a hoax. It was, in fact, called groundbreaking legal precedent.

    You and your children will be forced to participate in the perverse. Tolerance? No, godbag, we tolerate you if we decide to. And we won’t.

  11. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Well, somebody certainly loves big brother.

    With a great big raging hard-on for Room 101 no less!

    I guess it’s only natural. Room 101 is deep in the bowels of the Ministry of Love after all.

  12. Ernst Schreiber says:

    On a more somber note, you should seriously think long and hard about what you wrote.

    You’re not going to tolerate us if you decide not to? What happens when us godbags decide to repay you in kind?

    Because I’m pretty sure we have more guns than your side does.

    And a lot of folks on your side aren’t really on your side.

  13. Mac says:

    Poe’s Law, I think.

  14. Mac says:

    Bob, let me rephrase: I’d retweet it if I could find it in your timeline. Which so far I haven’t.

  15. palaeomerus says:

    “Ministry of Love”

    We call it the “Ministry of free rat protein”

  16. palaeomerus says:

    “No, godbag, we tolerate you if we decide to. And we won’t. ”

    Uh huh. Say that shit to a muslim bitch. Then put the lotion in the basket.

  17. palaeomerus says:

    There should be a comma between muslim and bitch. But there ain’t one.

  18. Objet d'Arth says:

    Only Nazis invoke Poe’s Law.

  19. bgbear says:

    So now it looks like he has outstanding student loans so, I was at least right about the money angle.

  20. palaeomerus says:

    Today was such a total drag,
    I bought a cake that called me fag,
    The local station paid me laud,
    Before a camera saw my fraud.

  21. Mac says:

    Someone checked the cake out on the web
    I don’t think that I can take it
    ‘Cause it took so long to fake it
    And I’ll never have that credibility again
