they should just cut right to it and do this week only! only serving SNAP recipients!

This is very funny. No one can fault Burger King Holdings, Inc. for not having a wry sense of humor. Reading some of the comments here, many of us are also getting the point. Even the sole location being in San Francisco. Very funny!! This article made me day.

"they didn't that, I did!"

"Soylent Green is People!"

No the wrapper of a second handed burger would have a bunch of sayings like, "You're awesome!" "You're gorgeous!" "Everybody LIKES you! (but they'd like you even more if you donated to charity)" "I want to be just like you!. (but maybe you should get a green peace bumper sticker" ). "We know it's not your fault."

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...

The I'm oppressed burger.

hey! if you pander to all groups, simultaneously..... -- j

oh, now, ir -- we're talking, not buying. -- j

yes, equal rights as mentioned in the declaration. -- j

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".

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

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

Actually....you may have an idea. A "Whopper Of The Week". Something new for a new minority every week. There's lots of material out there....can't wait to see the Left-Handed Whopper, even though we are not an officially-recognized minority. "Eat It With You Other Hand".

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.

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.

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

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

I own my own business Maph and I think all customers should be treated with the same respect. What's next? A Muslim burger? A Christian burger? It's a cheap stunt pandering to one group so I don't consider it a marketing campaign.

Yes its pandering.. they are a fast food chain. Consistency beats quality in that world. So they rely on marketing to sell the stuff. Since we are talking about them, it seems to be working.
