VIa JMG: The Muppets Dump Chick-Fil-A
The Muppets have dumped their partnership with Chick-Fil-A after having sold the company Creature Shop toys for the chain's kid's meals. The Jim Henson Company has posted a statement to their Facebook page:
The Jim Henson Company has celebrated and embraced diversity and inclusiveness for over fifty years and we have notified Chick-Fil-A that we do not wish to partner with them on any future endeavors. Lisa Henson, our CEO is personally a strong supporter of gay marriage and has directed us to donate the payment we received from Chick-Fil-A to GLAAD.(Tipped by JMG reader Alison)

Everything in a Moment
Somewhere
this very moment, babies are born, fathers are dying, mothers are
grieving. Yet, pervading all is a groundless awareness, delicate and
strong at the same time. Everything becomes we, a beating heart with a transparent, radiant smile.
