What?! No Whoppers?! OH NOES!



I don't know if any of you have seen those stupid Burger King ads where they discontinue the Whopper for a day, but if you have, then I'm sorry. Up top is a parody of the ad, and although it is poking fun at the commercials, it's basically the same. What I don't understand is why people get mad at the employees of the Burger King. I'm sure they don't like their jobs as is, why should these people make it harder for them. It's not like they got rid of the Whopper. Even with the Whopper gone for a whole day, there are plenty of other items on the menu that are the exact same thing. What makes up a Whopper? I'm gonna say a hamburger of sorts, cheese, sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, maybe bacon? If you go to any Burger King, and check out the menu, you will find at least 2 sandwiches that have all that. Then there's that douchebag in the real add who says something along the lines of "Now that Burger King doesn't have the Whopper, they may as well change their name to Burger Queen." Standing next to him is a man who I can only assume is his husband. This long hair hippie replies with a look of concentration then finally ". . .Yeah!" like his life partner just said something insightful. Changing the name from Burger King to Burger Queen because they don't have one hamburger? I'm sorry, I just don't get the clever joke there. Is it supposed to imply that a man without a hamburger isn't a man? Unless I'm totally missing something, the line makes no sense. The ". . .Yeah!" afterwards just makes this even worse. "Wow man, I didn't even think about it like that! Yeah, it's definitely the Burger Queen. Hell, maybe it's even the Burger Prince, or the Burger Jack now!" I hate commercials so much. Burger King can rot in Hell, with or without the Whopper. Bah!
