The guardians of fragile cultures are once more out in force to save the third world from evil commercialism and the even more evil American culture.

Gia forbid that a remote village get the chance to sample American fast food in exchange for a little face time on American TV.

I’ve been reading posts with these old hippies up in arms, basically their argument goes, ‘how dare Burger King exploit these poor, starving people, don’t they know these people live in poverty’..

Yep, the hippies are insulted that Burger King gave these ‘poor, starving people’ food.

Burger King says it was trying to find "Whopper Virgins," which is also the name of its campaign. "We wanted to see how the Whopper would perform in a world that didn't have ad or marketing awareness or any sentimental attachments" to either brand, says Russ Klein, president of global marketing, strategy and innovation at Burger King Holdings.

How about a taste test competition between Whopper and Big Mac among Hindus? Vegans?

I love flame-broiled, have it your way!

But this multi-million dollar ad campaign is beyond stupid.
