…And in other silly news this weekend. Burger King, home of the
<s>mayonnaise sandwich</s> Whopper and their signature <s>cardboard</s>
chicken sandwich, has a new ad campaign. You might think it a clever
campaign featuring the King that will bring the chuckles. Nope.

No laughs. No cleverness. Just a whole lot of feminism:

Back in January, the fast-food chain produced a video
opposing the rollback of net neutrality rules, and now
they’re getting political again with a video supporting
Rep. Jackie Speier’s Pink Tax Repeal Act.

“Women get hit with a double whammy: They make less for
doing the same work and they pay more for the same product
or service because it’s for women,” Rep. Speier said in
a press release on “Equal Pay Day” back in April. “Whether
it’s a pink teddy bear, deodorant from the same manufacturer,
or a white laundered shirt, it’s time to say enough!
Discrimination is illegal.”

Yeah, I’ll have a Whopper with cheese, hold the grandstanding leftist
hogwash.

One thing I’m still trying to figure out. The gender equality experts
at BK say the men’s and women’s razors are the exact same product. If
this is true, there’s nothing stopping those lasses from picking up the
men’s version and saving a couple of bucks. Last time I checked,
there’s no law requiring females to buy the female-marketed products.

According to Burger King, you get to “have it your way.” Unless, of
course, you wish to partake of deep-fried Franken-foods free of
feminist diatribes. I wonder what Burger King’s next brain-fart of a
promotion will be. Mayhaps replacing the King mascot with Ashley Judd
in a pussy hat.

Yet another cringeworthy fail from the left. You’d think Burger King
would have learned their lesson after their net neutrality dud and just
given up. After all, there’s many other things they could be doing.
Like creating food that’s edible.

The only thing they’re accomplishing here is giving us more things to
mock. For which we thank them.

Dems & the media want Trump to be more like Obama, but then he'd
have to audit liberals & wire tap reporters' phones.

There's a reason we used to refer to the chain as Burger THING ;-)

When you go on one of your anti union or women rants I wish you stopped
eating also.
