Conservative group slams Burger King over commercial using the 'D-Word'
Fox News ^ | 01/11/2020 | Gerren Keith Gaynor

The conservative group One Million Moms is accusing Burger King of “crossing the line” over an Impossible Whopper commercial that uses the “D-word.”

“Burger King is airing a commercial that uses profanity to advertise its Impossible Whopper — a burger made from plants instead of beef,” the group’s website reads. […]

One man, completely stunned by the Impossible Whopper’s tastiness says: Damn, that’s good.”

Apparently the use of the "D-word" went too far for One Million Moms.

“One Million Moms finds this highly inappropriate. When responding to the taste test, he didn’t have to curse,” the group said. “Or if, in fact, it was a real and unscripted interview in which the man was not an actor, then Burger King could have simply chosen to edit the profanity out of the commercial.” …

One Million Moms has always been tiresome, providing more targets for ridicule and scorn the Left just loves.

The phony cowboy who admits he’s a bleep fool doesn’t realize how foolish he really is. A report I read here on FR a week or two ago claims the “Impossible Whopper” is dripping with female hormones. Regular consuming of those fakeburgers will likely give him a lovely pair of manboobs. Wash

Does this mean they object to watching Gone With the Wind?

I think quite a few freepers may belong to one million moms. I’ve seen many people here be just as ridiculous.

Ironically, you were forced to self sensor your post, because the rules of this site are just as silly as one million moms.

I agree with the million moms. It’s time to clean up TV a little bit. Last night on Fox News I saw close-ups of human turds on the Streets of San Francisco. I mean from about a foot away. I dumped Chick-fil-A two and a half months ago, I should dump Burger King too, I feel better about myself, and it’s more healthy to quit eating at these fast food places. Besides, a vegetable Burger grosses me out.
