pretty tasteless. i saw the ad on tv. it shows a plump fluffy whopper next to a BM that looked like it just got run over by a bus. but anyway i guess BK isnt satisfied that most of the free world or at least the world under their ‘grip’ are mostly a bunch of obese, cholesterol laden, junk food addicts. now they have to corrupt the natural balance some of these cultures have maintained for thousands of years. oh well, free will. btw, either burgers are pretty disgusting anyway.

Some conservative bloggers took exception also, to my surprise. That is something of an anti-SUVesque pespective from where I sit. McDonald’s and Burger King hamburgers are terrific. They wouldn’t sell in the billions if they weren’t. The people have spoken.

Who cares what Hmong “activists” think? (Is “activist” the same thing as “community organizer?”) Let ‘em go back to Hmongolia if they don’t like it.
John Robert:
Hamburgers are kosher if they’re made with kosher meat. Whoppers and Bic Macs aren’t. Cheeseburgers are never kosher, since Jews are prohibited to eat a mixture of milk and meat.

Sorry Debbie,
But I like this whopper freakout commercial that I found popped up after watching your embedded ones. It is kinda market specific and well just plain humorous for the rest of us.

At 59 secs in it is pure humor.

Miss Schlussel, Et Alii:
Gosh, gee whillikers, I didn’t know Jews couldn’t eat hamburgers.
About a zillion years ago, when I was wandering the country and not knowing where my next meal was coming from, I worked at a MacDonald’s in Aurora, Colorado (a suburb of Denver), and it was owned and operated by a Jew.
In fact, I think most of the employees, who were students at the University of Colorado in Boulder, were probably Jewish.
Why is a hamburger or a cheeseburger not kosher?
On the other side of the coin, when I first arrived in Israel, and was registered at the Park Hotel in Tel Aviv, I went downstairs to eat breakfast – - – my very FIRST meal in Israel.
At the cafeteria-style counter, I requested bacon and eggs.
The man behind the counter replied that they didn’t have any bacon.
So, I requested sausage and eggs or ham and eggs.
He reminded me that I was in Israel and that everything was kosher.
Boy, did I feel like a fool!
I knew Israel was kosher, but I’d forgotten all about it.
Mox nix.
I think the Jews were amused by my ignorance, as they were very tolerant of me, patiently guiding me along the way, for everywhere I went, I was the only Christian in our guided tour group.
Thank you.

“Go tell it to your ACLU support group.” Great quote Debbie — I’ve added it to my quote of the day. Cheers…

Maybe they should stay “WhopperVirgins”. Judged by the eating habits of Americans, I would say don’t do it. Just look at immigrants and then look at their children. The children are usually way more heavier than their parents.
I think Hollywood and Ad Agencies export too much of this trash to our masses and to rest of the world. This isnt everyday Americans exporting this trash but liberal ad agencies who want others to emulate their selfish lifestyle. And people wonder why society has gone to hell in a hand basket. I can see why other nations wouldn’t want to take part in Hollwood or Madison Ave trash. DONT BITE THE APPLE.
