I was listening to Air America today (92.1 The Mic, in Madison WI) and I was shocked to hear this advertisement on their radio show.
Burger King is now advertising a new Angry Whopper TM
¼ pound* of flame-broiled beef topped with sizzling bacon, Pepper Jack cheese, deliciously spicy jalapenos, angry onions and our signature angry sauce. It’s the WHOPPER® that bites back. *Based on pre-cooked patty weight.
They even have a website where you can send Angry-Grams to people. Head to their site and click on the "See Angry Example" at the top center of the web page.
Hmmmmmm, do you think this has anything to do with Health Care Reform and a potential push back/regulation of fast food in America once the public option is passed, given that fast food is unhealthy, we might want to regulate it to keep taxpayer bills for healthcare minimized.
I think Burger King is trying to consolidate it's brand among the Birthers/Deathers/Palin People. Their brilliant advertising team is selling ANGRY YELLING SPICY Burgers to you. I just hope the purchasers of this crap have no stomach ulcers and have had their cholesterol and blood pressure checked. Sadly, I doubt that will be the case since most of these people distrust Doctors and Health Care in General. So with their pre-existing stomach problems, high blood pressure and cholesterol levels they will happily devour these spicy ANGRY Burgers and enjoy being angry at Socialists in the minutes and hours before they are driven to the emergency rooms of America with various cardiovascular and heart problems.
If it were not so sad, it would be funny! Funny as a talking burger......
p.s. I remember when New York passed a law about trans-fatty acids in foods. I applauded! BTW, I am not a 'La Vida Locavore' type blogger (I think GMO food is fine as long as we do not get too mono-genetic as a world and I support seed banks like the one Bill Gates helped fund in Norway).
