Gizmodo chortles at what may be a huge Facebook fail by Chick-Fil-A. Chick-fil-A claimed the toys were pulled because of a “possible safety issue”. That, of course, is a complete lie.

You may remember John Paulk as the nationally infamous “ex-gay” activist once touted on the cover of Newsweek as the poster boy and chairman for Exodus International.

In a curious bit of damage control, NOM has un-banned those previously barred from commenting on their Facebook page. Another message further down the above thread states: “We were embarrassed by the truth of our racial wedge strategies being made public. So this is a gesture of our good faith to turn things around.” Could this be a hack attack? …
