"Less than 48 hours after Cracker Barrel announced plans to pull Duck Dynasty items off its shelves in the wake of cast member Phil Robertson's anti-gay comments, the Southern country store and restaurant chain has reversed its decision.

<...>

The restaurant was the first major retailer to announce its stance on the Robertson scandal since his remarks went public."

And the problem isn't Cracker Barrel as much as the assholes who fell for the duck bullshit.
