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.” …

Seems like Fox News is taking cues from CNN. Looking for any lame excuse to throw dirt at conservatives.

Good on ya, Faux News for promoting some unknown group pissing and moaning about some non-end-of-the-world issue.

How's about covering the protests in Iran?

I expected the "D" word to be "Dad".

Figured some may at least have recognized the author . . . a refugee from The Grio.

Sounds like there are “One Million Moms” out there who are in desperate need of the other “d” word.

Funny how a sitting congresswoman can refer to the duly elected President of the United States as a M’fer and not a peep from the ‘million moms’

Wonder how many of those million women wore the infamous pink ‘pussy’ hat?

Slouching toward Gomorrah, one word at a time.

We slouched to Gomorrah a long time ago.

They go after it like everyone else her has, because they have not tried one.

I on the other had eaten one. So here’s the review. I doesn’t look like a hamburger patty, but I’ll be damned if it didn’t taste just like a whopper. Same texture. Chewed like a meat whopper. I didn’t grow tits, and my balls are still in tact and nothing has shrunk or fallen off and I’m not voting Liz Warren or getting the urge to listen to Adele,

Would I eat one again? Absolutely. Same with a Popeyes Chicken sandwhich, and I got that from a Truckstop. Delicious. Both pretty dam good, with Popeyes taking the advantage of one of the best overall sandwiches.

Not the D-word I was expecting.

I read that these veggie-burgers are very high in estrogen.
BK’s Whopper may not be as big as I thought. :^)

No one said one burger would be what causes a man to have hormonal problems.

Regularly eating it multiple times a week could cause problems. Especially the older you are, because your testosterone levels are decreasing with age.
