People send money to Facebook for advertising and to buy virtual goods.

Not enough to justify the current valuation.

What kinds of virtual goods can you buy on Facebook?

I bought a Liberator shape from a ad.

Tanks, dresses, bat guano, land, magic potions; it depends on the game you're playing.

Agreed. I'm very suspicious of multiples that crazy, as you know. There are way too many things to invest in with good multiples to be risking anything on these outrageous valuations.

The fuck does the guy have against Cracker Barrel?

They hate gays.

Really?  That sucks.

But if I talked shit about every company I think does something morally abhorrent, I wouldn't be done before the sun swallowed this rotten planet; if I boycotted every company I think does something morally abhorrent, I'd probably be dead by next month.

Yeah. Probably the most pragmatic tack is to find fewer things morally abhorrent.

The most pragmatic tack would be to exchange money for their goods and services, but complain about them anyway.

No, complaint takes effort, even if it's minimal.

I think you minimize the effort required to change one's moral beliefs, Karma Chameleon.

Anyway, I applied for a job at a Cracker Barrel.  I don't think it involves hitting homosexuals with truncheons.  I'll ask if I get an interview.

Chick Fil A doesn't like the gays either.  Plus you'll get sunday off.

I think the issue was that they had some discriminatory hiring policies. So as long as you don't appear to be gay you should be fine.

Do I appear gay?
