It’s been a rough week on TV for Burger King. The King’s chief concept officer, Denny Marie Post, appeared on morning shows and nightly newscasts several times explaining the simple idea of marketing a new product to a target audience. But when that product is the 730-calorie Enormous Omelet Sandwich, it’s fair game for those who would protect Americans from themselves.

The food police is on the lookout for a fattening and dangerous Enormous Omelet Sandwich. Don't try to apprehend or eat the subject on your own.
Peter Jennings is also lobbying against "food porn."

Networks Hound Burger King for Launching ‘Enormous’ Sandwich There's no such thing as bad publicity. The Legacy MediaTM is simply giving Burger King free advertising.

The same guy who made their new comercial (with the country song) something that looked like it belonged on XFL with their stripper cheerleaders. Don't get me wrong, I like good looking women, I just don't my kids seeing that commercial.

I haven't been to a BK in years, and I'm glad to see I'm not missing anything.

What's the big deal over 730 calories? The Whopper with cheese and mayo is around 1500.

Don't get too excited. I had one the other day and it was pretty lousy.

I don't know but I can't wait to try one. Unfortunately, for BK it will only be one. LOL

What's with the new creepy child molestor version of Burger King's king?
He's straight out of the depths of hell.

Wake up to a mouthful of breakfast with the Enormous Omelet Sandwich. Two slices of melted, American cheese, two fluffy eggs stuffed with three crispy strips of bacon, and a sizzling sausage patty, piled high on a toasted bun. The Enormous Omelet Sandwich from BURGER KING®. So big, breakfast will never be the same.

fair game for those who would protect Americans from themselves The modern calling of the American government. And more and more personal freedoms are moving closer to inclusion on the endangered species list.

Yeah he's pretty spooky. He'd get blasted with a shotgun if he were peeking into my window.

That "guy" is Darius Rucker the singer from Hootie and The Blowfish...and his payday for that one commercial has to be bigger than any recent income from Hootie projects.

I thought he looked familiar. Man, talk about a band that was way over played and then dropped like soiled underwear.

You know I would love to be able to eat a Steak and Cheese sandwich everyday but realize that it would kill me.
Has the MSM played the race card yet?
