Boycotts Are Funny

by Cam Cannon

Who else finds protests and boycotts a little, I don’t know, funny? 

I remember when I realized that protests and boycotts first began to amuse me. There was a Domino’s Pizza down the street from my house in suburban Atlanta. This must have been about 1985, and some pro-abortion group got wind that the dude who started Domino’s gave money to anti-abortion causes. Well, this stuck in their collective craw, and they went and made them some signs, and proceeded to picket the location near my house. 

Then the anti-abortion groups decided they’d counter protest, and they made up some signs of their own, and there everybody was holding up conflicting signs and ranting and raving. Thankfully, nobody got hurt, but more to the point, not one mind was changed as a result of this protest. My daddy, God rest his Georgia-Bulldog loving soul, pointed out the obvious, which is, “Nobody goes to Domino’s to order a pizza.”  (more…)
