    I saw some great comments in the article earlier today. The ones that I remember most are "We like our meat between the buns." And "This Whopper takes two hands to hold." lol.

    How about a P.C. burger. You don't just eat it. You suck it up.

      I can just imagine the advertising: "if you don't eat this, you're politically incorrect".

      And they could make this out of meat that had been around too long and changed color. After all, it would HAVE to be green.

      Then again, I suppose it would have to be vegetarian. With a wrapper full of pretentious comments about how a donation had been made to start a women's support group in Bolivia and that for every burger purchased, a tree had been planted in the Gobi Desert.

        So it goes. With your imagination you could turn this into a short story. maybe even a novel.

          That would make for a lot of burger wrappers....

          Am trying to come up with wrapper ideas for various "themes". The ethnic ones are fairly obvious, and I suppose a breast cancer Whopper (which simply BEGS for and interesting tagline) would have to be pink (never mind that the people who created the pink ribbons are one of the most wasteful charities on earth). But beyond that....the possibilities are, no doubt, endless.

          Perhaps Republican and Democrat Whoppers made with elephant and donkey meat. Keep track of the sales (or have people "vote" by dropping their wrappers in one of two bins) and predict elections!

          And there simply MUST be a John Galt Whopper. Only available "to go".

    Should I even ask what sauce they are putting on that hamburger?

    I used to eat at BK at least once per week, because of their tasty flame-broiled Whopper. I probably won't eat there anymore now.

    I'm tired of some companies using in-your-face political marketing. I want to know about a company's product and not the political correctness of their marketing department...

    Cool. I don't think a gun whopper would work for those who see guns as something like a fire extinguisher, something we unfortunately need in the world. Equal rights is a more upbeat theme to me. We need the right have guns, face our accuser when accused of a crime, etc, but it's hard to market a product with that. If they take even one liberty-minded idea to promote a product, I'm happy with it.

    A Second Amendment Whopper might lead to a SWAT raid . After all, "somebody might see something that looked like something". Or, as did a small child who wound up being suspended from school a while ago for tearing a slice of bread into the shape of a gun, someone might "make an inappropriate gesture with food".

    Probably not good for business.

    Burger King wouldn't do it. Their management is leftist. We deal here with an interlocking directorate full of Orren Boyles.

      Having dealt with BK Corp for years, most of the 'talented' management has been replaced with fresh MBAs that work for far less (especially in this economy when any job is a good job to them). Corp financials are in much better shape than years ago, but the franchisees still have a death grip on their wallets.

    I am happy they did this. Especially after Chick-Fill-A did their number some time back. Nice move. We are all the same inside. Sexuality does not make you different.

      The cool thing about Chick-fill-a was they weren't the ones calling for the campaign. I believe it was a Fox News host who made the original callout and it just struck a cord with "us" and we acted by calling everybody we know.

      The problem here is that it's an ad campaign. It looks like a ad campaign, it sounds like a ad campaign and for a number 4 or 5 rate product it will go over like a 10th ranked product. IMO

    So now we have political hamburger. Is that something like political sausage (that we wouldn't eat if we ever saw it being made)?

      You had political Chicken sandwich before.
      And don't forget the crazy "freedom fries".

        And Freedom Toast. Every time I saw one of those I made a point to tell the manager that they wouldn't be getting my business. It was a BS act to try to subvert "Freedom" for whatever was not in political vogue as determined by the PTB. They also subverted "Patriot" the same way, too bad it wasn't just an act... but at least the sheeple bought into it hook, line, and stinker.

        Every time I saw that, I was thinking of George Orwell's Victory Gin, Victory Coffee, or Victory Cigarettes. Every one left a bad taste in my mouth...

    BK...uh, not so much. Don't see much of them in my area. A lot of them went out of business. Must have been the food. Now this is another reason for the rest of them to go away. Food chains taking political sides is not a positive for business. BK may become a victim of their own "tolerance" by this in-your-face move.

    "Be your way"? Atrocious English... More like ebonics...

    Yeah I had a Whopper the other night. It'll be my last. Sorry, but as much as I like the Whopper, I like McDonald's Daily Double more. It tastes better, fresher, costs half as much, is just as filling, is much more convenient, and McDonald's only panders to illegals, not homosexuals, so there's that...
