Adding this to the list of companies to avoid, including Mozilla.

Perhaps creating a gay connection with a product name that's long been associated with the male phallus wasn't the brightest business move. Heads are gonna roll in marketing when someone reminds them of...

I used to love whopper's...

On an ironic note, in my "possibly related threads" at the bottom, I see the thread 'Roosh Forum blocked at Burger King!'.

These people are for real.

10/10 troll job.

Definitely. And in the long term "Political Homosexuality", whether practiced by homosexuals or more usual companies and politicians, who are using them for their cynical ends, will harm actual homosexuals. They are basically creating a backlash, as people engaging in the "culture war" always do. It's actually quite tedious.

I already avoid both Burger King and McDonalds in South Africa since both have decided on universal "no bacon" policies so they can be classified as halal, and kosher as well I think. I have no problem with either of these but a burger without bacon is no burger at all in my book, and considering the very small numbers of both Muslims and Jews in the country it struck me as a very strange decision. Luckily there is a ubiquitous local burger chain that tastes a lot better, and includs bacon, than those two anyway, so no loss

I have no problem with gay people, only with them constantly shoving their sexuality down our (and eachother's hey oh ) throats.

If it makes them more money, then good....that's the point of a business, to make money.

Despite being in the south, I'll never eat at Chick-fil-a. I can't feel good putting my money in the pockets of hypocrites.

If we're all the same on the inside, and it's what's on the inside that counts (according to them) then why does a different color wrapper garner its own commercial and an inordinate amount of media attention?

I think that's the fundamental problem with the LGBTQYRSDHG... movement. If they wanted to be treated like equals, act like it.

There's a Burger King here in the Adam's Morgan/ Columbia Heights area of Dork Central (DC) but no self respecting fags dare set foot in such a low brow establishment.

I know that Burger King! It's been there for eternity.

Funny story: my g/f's family moved to DC when we were in college and we were in her house in Columbia Heights having sex when her stepdad came in. We rushed to put on our clothes before he came upstars. And when he did he said he wanted to take us to...that Burger King. I forever associate the place with blueballs and coitus interruptus.

Because "diversity" is really just a way to build a grand Cultural Marxist coalition to tear down a perceived villain - namely, "cisgender" heterosexual white men.

That's all this diversity stuff really is. Think of it as coalition warfare against a hated enemy.

The so-called "white hetero patriarchy" is in their minds, a grand, powerful enemy that can overwhelm everyone else. Therefore the identity politics crowd forms blocks and alliances not so much to accomplish anything, but to oppose the hegemon in their minds.

That quip about us "being all the same" is just a deceptive tactic they use to cover up what they're really aiming for.

It's ridiculous, but this is how these people actually think.

However, coalitions are always unstable, because the different partners have different interests in the end. We're seeing this now with some of the feminists coming out strongly against male to female transgenders using women's facilities.

Make no mistake, once the hegemonic "white hetero patriarchy" is torn down, the coalition partners will squabble among themselves.

Also, the whole concept of "we are all the same inside" is horseshit. If anything, it's the fucking opposite.

I don't know a gay person is gay just by looking at him. I know gay guys who look and conduct themselves like any straight man would; they don't even have the voice. The whopper on the other hand is loudly decorated with a rainbow wrapper that conveniently doubles as a stylish cum rag for when those two bear dudes inevitably go at it in the bathroom.

As for the inside, we're not the same, were different. A gay guy's desire to fuck dudes is on his inside, not the outside. Ergo my desire to slap my lap hog around every moist freshman clam in town.

Well timed: poorly executed marketing stunt.

I don't care about gay advocacy (it just more $$$ from progressive females for BK) but I won't eat a gay whopper. Why? Because I associate homosexuality with fat hairy smelly men. It will feel like eating a fat hairy smelly man for me, something I don't want to do.

Otherwise I really don't care. We've already lost the war, no use complaining and trying to get it back.

Yea this is all to persuade the SWPLs and fat feminist types to eat their junk food instead of their competitors. Most gay dudes could give a fuck about stupid shit like this.

Still trying to figure out why being gay is something to be proud of.

Fast food is for proles, and will give you a prole body. If you want to raise your SMV, don't eat it.

Is Burger King going to put glory holes in the bathroom? Wouldn't it be judgmental and truly unaccepting of gay culture by Burger King to not offer that to its gay clientele? They should offer a blow-thru window.

Jesus now even hamburgers are a way for them to shove gay shit down our throats. Oh well, I will vote with my dollars and get Chic-fil-a the next time I want fast food.

Meanwhile, Five Guys Burger and Fries are still discussing how to respond to this marketing push.

They've all but finalized some new corporate ambassadors for the brand. All that remains is haggling over who gets to wear which costume.
