Burger King's Cultural Imperialism

by Jeff Thursday, Dec. 25, 2008 at 2:59 PM

Has anyone seen the new Burger King Commercial?

Has anyone seen the new Burger King Commercial?

It's called "whopper" virgins and it features these burger king employees flying a whopper broiler to Inuit villages and feeding whoppers to the Inuit there to see if they prefer them to other burgers. As if the Inuit have not had to deal with enough western cultural garbage being forced upon them - now they have to deal with this shit too.



It's called whopper virgins because the company is taking their unhealthy tortured animal food products around the world to infect people in areas that have not yet been colonized by the western food system.



This shit is fucked up.



Please send Burger King a message that their commercials are not funny, they are dangerous. Tell Burger Kink to keep their nasty ass food to themselves.



Here is a link to the whopper virgins website: http://www. whoppervirgins. com/

Here is the corporate e-mail to send hate mail: investor@whopper.com

Grr. I'm angry now.

I thought it was just a racist joke, but the website seems to indicate that these fast food people and the people making the commercials are serious.

What a fucking waste of energy and human talent.

Oh well, no big loss. I try not to eat meat anyway.

Oh, and this is kind of ironic, because a little bit of imperialist food, repurposed by local people, recently made an appearance in the news.

President Elect Obama purchased some "spam musubi", a rice ball topped with spam, a local favorite in Hawaii.

The press and blogger comments responded with curiosity, confusion, and derision of the unfamiliar.

A fucking wad or rice with a fucking slice of spam on it. It's American war food, you stupid Americans.

Better yet, contact the sell-outs in those, um, "communities" who probably tripped over themselves to get the Burger Schwag contract. Oh wait, but maybe they're going to share the new wealth with their community. Or maybe with their burger king money they will set up a class tension where none existed before...I guess the only thing to do is get them better jobs so they don't have to stoop so low...oh but most jobs involve selling ass for some corporation....damn. I guess the only thing to do is overthrow capitalism and stop obsessing about these individual insults to various cultures. The whole system is insulting to everybody.
