+++++WARNING….THE VIDEO BELOW HAS HOMOSEXUAL SUGGESTIVE CONTENT AND PROFANITY VIEW WITH DISCRETION++++++++

Chick-Fil-A is a company known for its delicious food and quality service. But in gay rights circles, the famed fast food chain is regularly dubbed discriminatory and bigoted. Much of the criticism has come from the company’s financial support for causes that tout traditional marriage. Now, drag queens are taking the Christian-owned company to task with a spoof on Wilson Phillips’ “Hold On.”

The song, called “Chow Down,” comes complete with a music video that takes aim at the company’s purported anti-gay stance. In it, three men dress to look like the band’s group members (Chynna Phillips, Carnie Wilson and Wendy Wilson).

The lyrics, of course, have been changed to say things like, “Please don’t sue us for libel, We just want meat without your Bible“ and ”Someday somebody’s gonna make you wanna gobble up a waffle fry, But no go, don’t you know, Chick-Fil-A say you make the baby Jesus cry.”

In this new, destined-to-go-viral video by current RuPaul’s Drag Race contestant Willam Belli, Willam, Detox, and Vicky Vox address one of the fundamental dilemmas of our era: Chick-fil-A is so delicious, but it’s owned by right-wing Bible-thumping bigots. What to do?

In a music video parody of Wilson Phillips’ “Hold On,” Willam, Detox and Vicky play their roles perfectly (just check out Willam’sChynna Phillips head-shaking impression at 1:47) to get across the message: “Chow down at Chick-fil-A (Even if you’re gay).

As NewsBusters reported last Friday, the producers of the hit show American Idol warned contestant Colton Dixon to tone down his overtly Christian references if he wanted to win the competition.

Dixon clearly didn’t heed their advice, for after his incredible performance of Billy Joel’s “Piano Man” Wednesday, he told host Ryan Seacrest, “I’ve been praying before this whole thing because tonight was a big moment for me, and I was just collecting myself and saying, ‘God, use me.’ I want Him to shine through first and foremost.” (Video follows with commentary.)

Here’s what Dixon told Today.com last week:

“When we first started the Twitter and Facebook stuff, they said beware of political and religious tweets,” he told TODAY.com. “Just because it can turn off voters or whatever. But, you know, being a Christian is who I am. It is a part of me musically. It is what I want to do after the show — go into Christian music.” [...]

“I am not going to hide it, and I am not going to stray away from it just because I am on a TV show.” [...]

“I wake up and I do devotional every morning,” he added. “It reminds me why I am here, which is to share the love of God. I know there are several other contestants who can say the exact same thing. But it is a part of me and I want to share it — no matter what, good or bad outcome. It is me.”

Anthony Evans, gospel artist and son of megachurch Pastor Dr. Tony Evans,was pitted against gospel artist Jesse Campbell in the battle round on the television show “The Voice” Monday night. However, Evans was sent home by mentor Christina Aguilera, causing many to speak about the impact that the performance had on them.

Evans and Campbell, both gospel singers, sang the Alicia Key’s song, “If I Ain’t Got You,” in the battle round of the competition that would eliminate one singer. The two men with similar styles both put on a performance that made even the song’s originator proud.

“Amazing performance,” Keys tweeted after the two men performed, hitting high notes and extravagant runs. “That was so fun to watch.”

Despite judges Cee Lo Green, Aguilera, Blake Shelton and Adam Levine complimenting both performers, only one gospel singer from the female judge’s team was allowed to move past the battle round. Although Aguilera did not choose Evans, the pastor’s son managed to bless many people who witnessed his performance.

“Your son blessed me last night on ‘The Voice,’” one person wrote on the pastor’s Facebook wall.

Another said they were now just as inspired by Anthony as they were by his father, who serves as the chaplain for the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks and NFL’s Dallas Cowboys.

“You have always been an inspiration to me,” another person wrote on the pastor’s Facebook wall. “Now your son is inspiring me as well! God bless the Evans family!”

The younger Evans took to his own social media page to thank fans who watched him during the competition, and joke about his feelings of regret.

“Thanks for all the love you guys…did my best,” Evans tweeted after the competition. “(I) Don’t have any regrets (except for Christina not saying ‘Anthony’) lol.” Aguilera took to her own Twitter page to speak about the hard decision of sending people home.

“Incredible performances in the Battles tonight,” Aguilera tweeted. “I had tough choices, so hard to send great singers home. They are forever team Xtina.”

Pat Robertson, host of “The 700 Club,” said Monday during the program’s airing that God does not send tornadoes “to kill people” and that those affected by the deadly string of twisters in the Midwest and Southeast only had themselves to blame for living in tornado-prone areas.

Answering a viewer from Illinois as to why it is that “God sent the tornadoes,” Robertson was quick to respond that “God didn’t send tornadoes.”

The question, featured in the program’s “Bring It On” segment, in which the program invites “millions of viewers” to send in questions about “life, love, finances, morality, and what it means to be a Christian.”

As co-host Terry Meeuwsen listened, Robertson went on to provide a meteorological explanation as to why and how tornadoes occur.

“God doesn’t send tornadoes to hurt people,” the Christian Broadcasting Network founder said. “He doesn’t send – what you call ‘acts of God’ – but they’re not. So, all I can say is – why do you build houses in places where tornadoes are apt to happen?”

Meeuwsen suggested, however, “The bigger question for people spiritually is always…why didn’t He intervene?”

Robertson responded by speaking about prayer being able to “still storms” – as exemplified by Jesus in the Bible – before turning to offer a scientific explanation for hurricanes. He ended his commentary by repeating once more that people who suffer from natural disasters only had themeselves to blame for deciding to build houses “on the edge of an ocean.”

“It’s their fault, it’s not God’s,” Robertson concluded. “Don’t blame God for doing something foolish.”

The viewer who posed the question about God sending tornadoes revealed that he was from Illinois, which is one of the handful of states that saw a string of tornadoes and freakish weather over the past few days that has claimed at least 39 lives, including that of a 14-month-old girl. The little girl, from New Pekin, Ind., was initially found alive in a field after surviving the tornado, but later succumbed to her injuries. She also reportedly lost her mother, father and two siblings in the storm.

Kentucky, Ohio, Alabama and Georgia also experienced fatalities related to the tornadoes that struck last Friday. Recovery efforts were currently underway in those states, with faith-based organization Samaritan’s Purse working with a church in Charlotte, N.C., which also saw storms.

On Saturday, “The 700 Club” posted a link to Operation Blessing on its Facebook page, informing followers as to one of the ways in which they could aid tornado victims in Illinois.

One follower, Donovan White, responded to the Operation Blessing post on Monday, well after the “Bring It On” segment had aired, writing:

“Which is it Pat? This time around you said [G]od doesn’t cause tornadoes ‘it’s just nature’ but during Katrina and the Haiti earthquake you said they were being punished for being evil…you make it up as you go and no one seems to notice!”

Also addressing the string of deadly tornadoes Monday, Desiring God Ministries founder John Piper insisted that God indeed was responsible for the storms that had claimed dozens of lives.

Writing in a blog post titled “Fierce Tornadoes and the Fingers of God,” the theologian and pastor writes: “We do not ascribe such independent power to Mother Nature or to the devil. God alone has the last say in where and how the wind blows. If a tornado twists at 175 miles an hour and stays on the ground like a massive lawnmower for 50 miles, God gave the command.”

Piper wrote about the deadly storms as if they were sent by God as an act of judgment, and that those who survived should take it as a warning to turn from sin.

The Bethlehem Baptist Church pastor wrote, ”Therefore, God’s will for America under his mighty hand, is that every Christian, every Jew, every Muslim, every person of every religion or non-religion, turn from sin and come to Jesus Christ for forgiveness and eternal life. Jesus rules the wind. The tornadoes were his.

“But before Jesus took any life in rural America, he gave his own on the rugged cross. Come to me, he says, to America — to the devastated and to the smugly self-sufficient. Come to me, and I will give you hope and help now, and in the resurrection, more than you have ever lost.”

Over the past few years, economic woes have led to both fear and uncertainty. The Blaze already told you about what “preppers” are doing to ready themselves should disaster become reality. GBTV, too, has brought you “Independence USA,” a reality show featuring a family trying to live off the grid. But now it seems even some politicians are getting in on the preparatory spirit, with officials in the State of Wyoming advancing what many are calling a “Doomsday Bill.”

In the event that America’s political system or economic stability collapses, some Wyoming lawmakers contend that a viable plan must be in place. Enter Bill 85, which passed its first vote in the state’s House on Friday. If advanced, the “Doomsday Bill” would create a state-run government task force that would explore and handle energy supplies, food shortages and other needs related to a potential nationwide governmental collapse.

“The task force would include state lawmakers, the director of the Wyoming Department of Homeland Security, the Wyoming attorney general and the Wyoming National Guard’s adjutant general, among others,” reports Trib.com.

And here’s the kicker: If, indeed, such a horrific incident takes hold, Wyoming would potentially be able to issue its own currency — an action that would allow the state to isolate and self-contain, while continuing its commerce and operations. Additionally, WTOP.com reports that the proposed task force will examine the conditions under which the state government would need its own army, aircrafts and other materials.

While the state’s Department of Homeland Security already has a crisis management plan on the books, it doesn’t cover what would happen if a nationwide political or economic disruption or collapse takes form. In the past, at least six other states have attempted to create state currency; all have failed.

With Occupy Wall Street continuing to have a nation-wide presence and with the economy still on shaky ground, the bill’s sponsor, state Rep. David Miller (R-Riverton), sees the proposal as a common-sense move. That being said, Miller also contends that he doesn’t anticipate any catastrophic event in America in the near future. For him, the bill is more about protection in the case of a massive emergency.

“I don’t think there’s anyone in this room today [that] would come up here and say that this country is in good shape, that the world is stable and in good shape — because that is clearly not the case,” state Rep. Lorraine Quarberg (R-Thermopolis) said on Friday. “To put your head in the sand and think that nothing bad’s going to happen, and that we have no obligation to the citizens of the state of Wyoming to at least have the discussion, is not healthy.”

Before going to the Wyoming Senate, the bill must clear two more House votes. Originally, it called for $32,000 in state funds to be allocated to the task force; last week, this number was cut in half, which could make it a more palatable measure for lawmakers who are operating in cash-strapped times.
