A&E and Cracker Barrel walking it back..

[Boca]

I hear second hand that Phil has been reinstated and Cracker Barrel has put the Duck merchandise back on the floor. Apparently with millions of folks on the road for the holidays, in hundreds of Cracker Barrel restaurants, there was a pretty serious backlash. People coming in off the interstates, walking in, voicing their opinion and leaving. Capitalism at work you could say.

As for me I not a big fan of overpriced fattening food anyway so there's no chance I'll be hurting their bottomline. But, I will never visit a Cracker Barrel again. It ain't about Phil or corporate hypocrisy....it's about not knowing what's going on in the kitchen with my food.

Yup, just as I noted from the start: if corporations lose more money from keeping a controversial figure than keeping him, they'll boot him; in the reverse, they'll keep him. It is indeed capitalism at work, as it was all along even as the cons bleated and hollered about Phil's suspension and tried to turn it into a 1st amendment issue.
