Riley's apple farm: phobic bigots - Page 5

Betty · 10-01-2008, 12:21 PM

I showed the page to my semi-conservative friend who loves going there. She is convinced that someone hacked into their site and put it there or that it's a joke. She also doesn't think it's a metaphor for anything.

I did email them about the page - asking what it meant - if it was a metaphor for something - and they haven't responded.

Actually everyone participating in this thread is doing something already. When Riley's Apple Farm is Googled, this thread is the sixth search result.

Come to NY; we have lots of apples.

We need to make it #1.

Oh, GC, AWESOME! I'm glad I started it instead of just keeping my gall to myself.

It's not a joke or a hack. Just read some of his other blog entries.

Those are good suggestions, GC. In L.A. However, Yucaipa probably doesn't have anything in the way of GLBT services, the BBB really can't do anything about his homophobia, which the ACLU, as do I, acknowledge is his right to have, and I don't want any cider. My buying from a competitor doesn't hurt him one bit, bad publicity does.

Huell Howser type publicity. Westways Magazine type publicity. These are his customers. I'd like to see his blog entries forwarded to every publication that's ever given him a positive write-up.

I'll start with Huell, he comes by my farmer's market stand on Sundays.

One person is a crank with an agenda, several people are unhappy potential customers.

OMG-Really? You have no idea of our family's love for Huell. We can talk like him - watch all his shows - and love to love him/make fun of him a bit.

Does he always come by or is it an every once in a while thing?

(My husband's Mii is named Huell and looks like him. We have off road videos of us out in the middle of nowhere talking like him. HUELL!)

Maybe we can change the title of the thread to - "Riley's apple farm: phobic bigots" or something, so it can be obvious by the link title that we're not recommending their caramel apples.

For some reason, I'm thinking of Triumph, the Comic Insult Dog. "Nice apples. FOR ME TO POOP ON!"

I can do that.

blueerica · 10-01-2008, 12:42 PM

I did that.
