What was CFA day really about? It was a failed viral marketing campaign that was supposed to hurt CFA and help a list of companies for profit.

[/quote] Americans are the leaders when it comes to projection and only the things in front of you are real. The Sam Walton story [quote:Anonymous Coward 21180058:MV8xOTQ0MjI2XzMyNjEwMjQ3XzlCQjUwNTg=] (who is sam walton- without googling it- I have no idea who or what he did??) [/quote] was used extensively for a long time in the US as an example of mega-success so it amazes me that people do not understand that it started only in America. American media shows pictures of Paris or London but usuallly the shot has a McD's in it. I think this is to fool the citizens into thinking that the whole planet is just one big America, that poverty, disease and hunger do not exist - everyone is HAPPY, now get out there and buy, buy, buy. [/quote] (unfortunately, `the rest of the world'(if I can presume to answer for them) is all too aware of americas self interest (some would say narcissism) "narcissism" usually is used to describe some kind of problem in a person or group's relationships with self and others. In everyday speech, "narcissism" often means egoism, vanity, conceit, or simple selfishness. Applied to a social group, it is sometimes used to denote elitism or an indifference to the plight of others. sounds pretty much like the usa I would say.... [quote:Black Knight:MV8xOTQ0MjI2XzMyNjEyNzIzX0Y0NEUzOUE3] You are lucky out there in the world because America's glory days are over. We are in the process of being brought down to third world status, (you didn't really think they were really going to raise everyone else UP did you?). Our business and political leaders have sold us out to our new Chinese and Russian masters who are even now buying land and building their manefesto dream right here, right now. [/quote] sadly nobody else was responsible for `dragging you down' the usa did it all by itself sad to think that a decade ago- you had the worlds sympathy- and probably could have gotten away with murder now you are a despised country of hypocritical rapists, murderers and torturers- and thats what your friends think of you... what do your enemies think of you??? [/quote] I never said anyone else was dragging us down bloke, those are your words, not mine. The US was dragged down by greedy CEO's, sellout politicians and self-centered sheep who allowed it all to happen. It's a cycle and was to be expected you would have your turn down there too, though I think that Nibiru is not going to give you enough time for this to happen - good luck with that by the way. Power corrupts - it is a principle of nature. And if it ever gets to the point where your enemies think highly of you then you have surely fucked up to the max. Your enemies should always hate you that is why they are enemies! [/quote]

Going to explain to people what CFA day was really about, it was a failed viral marketing campaign designed to get a list out of specific companies to boost those company’s profits that back fired against the organizers.
This is only about money to these companies that tried this stunt and it was a stunt that went 100% opposite of what the organizers wanted. They did not take in to account for a lot of things and it bit them back.
We even had gay rights groups protesting the anti-chick-fil-a protesters because it’s not about gay this or gay that it’s about your right to make a statement only.
It has been spun three ways from Sunday literally, but it is not about what the news wants you to think it is about.
This all started with a list I will not post from a few weeks ago, that was going through the activist communities of big business you should spend money with. Most of the big companies could care less about what they support as long as it adds to their bottom line. So they picked a target to get the list out in the news, the list died a painful death and what is left is people supporting a company for a multitude of reasons, not just the reason the news is trying to spin to YOU the consumer of that news.
The organizers failed at their viral marketing and all they did was give CFA a lot of free press that CFA could not buy if it tried.
One more thing about that list of companies I will not list, do not trust their efforts and take their words at face value they do not care about the causes they claim to care about, they just want to increase their bottom line period, they are mad they are not getting this business after all it was their plan!
Edit; I did end up posting that list below.
