I thought Burger King had the "flame broiled" burgers?


It's McDonalds new campaign where they one up them: We'll flame broil ANYTHING!

I thought Burger King had the "flame broiled" burgers?

Ya, I think the whole schoolyard bully angle is the right way to deflect this commercial.
The problem is wondering if that's what they want us to do. As a parent, I'd want to comment to my child about the bullying aspect and discuss it, but in doing so, I've played right into their hands and am now discussing a McDonald's commercial with my child, impregnating the french fries into our sub-conscious.

The joke's on them though, I'd go to Burger King!
Actually, no, I go to this new place that just opened up called "Five Guys Burgers & Fries."
All hamburgers are double pattied and $3 gets you enough fresh cut fries to feed a family of four. And while you wait for your meal, non stop, all you can eat, salted peanuts in the shell. YUM!

In soviet russia, burger king has it their way.

well, I don't disagree with you, but fast food joints are also run by local managers.

There's something sinister about marketing - I mean this ad is all fun, hip and 'edgy' (well tries to be), but it's pushing food that is contributing to the global diabetes disaster and multitudes of other health problems (globesity). I doubt many people realise just how nasty the crap in these burgers is, but everyone wants to eat tasty food, and these places are convenient to go to when there is one on every corner, so they win, in part because of marketing like this.
My advice, if you want to go out, go to a restaurant owned and run by someone local, it may cost you a few more dollars and be more difficult to get to, but you'll be doing your health a favor, and your local community as well.



Aye not owned though, which is the key, because all decisions about what go into the food come from management higher up.

Drugs how ? explain that one to me. @Krupo
ehh, I guess its "trippy" but I find it a stretch.

There's a chick riding a unicorn in the opening. Do I need to spell it out?


I would put this in Art before I put in in drugs. That is just me though, I can not expect everyone to adhere to my superior standard.

Dude, Obama graduated from Harvard Law, and was a Senator before he ever became president.

Jugears was a Senator who voted "Present" when he voted at all, and his grades are all hidden away. BTW he's a Constitutional law expert? I'd trust a Klan leader more to lead a Seder.

In comparison, Herman Cain murdered John Lennon's "Imagine" by turning it into a song about pizza.

"Successful CEO" is easier to type. Jugears has never met a payroll. Any assistant manager at Burger King has more business saavy.

Cut the crap. Obama is more than qualified to be president, even if you disagree with him vehemently.

I'd like to agree with you, except for a little something called THE LAST THREE YEARS. Consider the crap CUT.

After obamarx, are there any qualifications at all? The libmedia doesn't have the same faith that Schmucker does that Cain's ideas are unworkable, so they're going after him with this other crap which hasn't discouraged a single Cain supporter.

@Stormsinger

From this Business Week article on Cain's tenure at Godfather Pizza, it sounds like the company performed adequately. "Godfather's didn't go out of business; neither did it become a major combatant in the pizza wars." However, his success in rising to prominence within the Burger King organization seems more concrete and more under his control: "His region went in three years from the least profitable for Burger King to the most profitable."


Anyway, it still seems fair to say that if liberalism had successfully trained him to blame others for his problems and reject careerism, he would probably still be living in the impoverished environment of his youth.

Am I the only one who thinks Cain would be better off as a liberal complaining about how life's not fair?

"His mother was a cleaning woman and his father, who was raised on a farm, was a chauffeur... Under Cain's leadership, his region went in three years from the least profitable for Burger King to the most profitable. This prompted Pillsbury to appoint him President and CEO of another subsidiary, Godfather's Pizza. Aiming to cut costs, Cain over a 14-month period reduced the company from 911 stores down to 420. As a result of his efforts, Godfather's Pizza finally became profitable.

That's a pretty slanted synopsis, at least as far as Godfather's goes. They used to be a huge chain, producing top quality pizza at a top price. Now, there are two left in my town...they apparently cannot even pay an amateur web designer to put together a functional webpage (their page is a nightmare to navigate through), and it takes over an hour (and probably an extra call or two) to get a pizza delivered. At the rate they're going, they'll be direct competitors of Ceci's or Pizza Kitchen in another couple of years, if they're around at all.

I think I'd put it more that he made them profitable in the short term, buy gutting the business and selling of anything of value...just like any corporate raider or Wall street banker. No great surprise that he supports them, he -is- one of them.

I have an ex-lover who, wherever he travels, he goes to the Burger King and takes a picture of it.

He is collecting "Home of the Whopper" in all the different languages he can.

The irony is... his isn't. Markedly so.

True story.

How can I enjoy my Egg McMuffin just KNOWING there are people out there eating at Burger King!
