Burger King pulls ad that offended Mexicans

Further proof of the PC bullshit that runs like a wildfire in this country


I guess some Mexicans got pissed over an ad for a TEX-MEX Whopper?

Not sure that was the burgers name


but I don't feel like going on Yahoo.com and reading that Bullshit again



Anyhow the ad is gone

You can't say anything anymore

someone always gets offended

And if you do say something against what the government is doing, you can find yourself on the terrorist watch list. Ron Paul supporters are the first ones targeted right now!

What was this ad about?

I can't really comment if I haven't seen it.

I mean if the ad said something like "eat a whopper so you don't turn into a dumb Mexican" (which I highly doubt it did), that would be highly-offensive. If instead it was an ad where a Mexican said "eat a whopper" and wasn't made to look like a complete moron, that isn't at all offensive.

The ad is almost certainly somewhere in the middle so I'll hold off comment.

you can see the article at http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090415/od_nm/us_burgerking_odd;_ylt=AvMpP93kfU2v.bB_LnuZeuWaK8MA

Hmm....I could see how this could come off as offensive. Nobody is threatening litigation so it hasn't done much harm. Burger King is going to change it apparently and I guess that's a decent idea.

If the guy had an American flag it probably would have pissed people off.

I've seen way worse though that didn't get pulled.

I'm guessing this is the one they're talking about...
