Burger King Ad Offensive ?
Burger King has a hot potato on its hands with its new whopper ad. According to the Associated Press, Mexico is protesting what it says is "a whopper of an insult."
An advertisement for Burger King's chili-flavored "Texican" burger that has run in Europe shows a small wrestler dressed in a cape resembling a Mexican flag. The wrestler teams up with a lanky American cowboy twice his height to illustrate the cross-border blend of flavors.
"The taste of Texas with a little spicy Mexican," a narrator's voice says.
It seems to me the ad is more of an insult to little people than Mexicans, but I also find the ad kinda gay. A cowboy answers an ad to live with a short professional wrestler. Nobody thought it would work out, but they seem to be living quite happily. They just need to add some small romantic touch, such as a hand on the thigh. Why not piss off the religious right while their at it and show a bedroom scene? The want ad does say one room.

That's so wrong on many levels, and funny on so many more.
I don't know whether to be insulted or laugh.
Well, a laugh is always good.
The Burger King "King" is really a Queen! The addition of Sponge Bob Square Pants is just keeping with the broad appeal of the Queen. Who else would say all butts are the same except a Queen? Are you sure those are real women with those square butts?
