I have not been in a Burger King since they started this promotion. I used to like them very much. I just quietly refuse to support this kind of junk.
I go through periods where I just stop frequenting establishments. There is always some "trigger"... like the pizza/sub shop in town here, I used to get a wrap for lunch there every day M-F, but when I saw the tiny little girl that worked there in tears outside (because she got fired), I just stopped going there.
Similarly, the coffee shop a few storefronts down from the office... one afternoon I went in there and got an iced tea, but when I presented my coffee card (I was good for at least two $2.14 coffees a day and the iced tea was more than that), and the owner refused to give me a punchmark, I haven't been back there. That has cost them probably $400 in sales in the last year.
Well I just relized that the "trigger" for me no longer going to BK (which I enjoyed as an alternative to McD's) was the "Proud" whopper.
It was just a turnoff to me that a business could allow themselves to intentionally alienate nearly it's entire customer base to support a miniscule fraction of our society that choose to be unhealthy social deviants.
(sorry for the late ping... someone just responded to me so I was going through the thread).
