I got my Simpsons Season 1 DVD set in the mail yesterday. I haven't been happier.

Ya Burger Kind sure redefined the industry. Their place is the only place I want to puke at after eating.
 
2001-10-02 08:54:23 AM
"BURGER KING® redefined the hamburger business with our delicious flame-broiled sandwiches and our alignment with the Simpsons property makes perfect sense as it partners two brands that have brought innovation to their respective industries."

Gag. Somebody please shoot this guy. No one needs to get that serious about a damn Whopper.

The similarities never stop. Both their burger and the simpsons are not quite the color you'd expect them to be, and the hamburger was probably cooked by someone with four total fingers on each hand. (coincidence, I think not...)

Mmmmm, hamburgers!!!

Do you reckon that the Simpsons will start to eat at BK
instead of Krusty Burgers?

BOOBIES!!!!!!

I haven't eaten fast food in 3 years. I haven't been happier or healthier.
 
2001-10-02 09:12:04 AM
Fast-food sucks but I'll have to get those Simpsons toys
 
2001-10-02 09:19:13 AM
I'm betting the Simpsons figures you could buy at the likes of Target or Wal-Mart are better quality and you don't have to ingest the no-teeth-required "food" that Burger King sells. Blech.

The only fast food I eat is Subway (because, even thought Jared's a squid, some of the items actually are healthy, compared to the criminally fat- and sodium-laden dreck from McDonald's and Burger King). Oh yeah, and once in a while, White Castle.

mmmmmmm buurrrrgersss.....

Fb - good for you :). I'm about 2/3rd through Fast Food Nation, I don't think I'll be eating any more fast food or beef period by the time this is done.
 
2001-10-02 09:29:18 AM
Sharv - Subway scares me more than BK does.. It's just as Genetically Modified.. but just as scary because they pretend it's good for you.

.."tongue costumes"..

Tongue costumes????? Who the hell writes this stuff?
 
2001-10-02 09:32:43 AM
Am I wrong, or is Subway's Jared the most lacklustre fast-food icon in existence?
 
2001-10-02 09:37:01 AM
Krusty on the Krusty Burger, after pretending to eat one for a commercial:

"AAAACH! I got some of the juice in my mouth! (Swigs from flask) UHHHHH, I'll be tastin' that for weeks...."
 
2001-10-02 09:40:59 AM
They don't have Burger King in Springfield. Must be confused with that place in Shelbyville.
 
2001-10-02 09:41:54 AM

Do you know HOW HARD it is to READ this FARKING® article?


BURGER KING™ needs to LAY OFF© the CAPS and ITALICS.

This isn't nearly as stupid as Intel's marketing a few years ago. They used Homer Simpson to shill for Pentium processors. Hey, I know, maybe next year they can use Adam Sandler or Carrot Top.
 
2001-10-02 10:22:56 AM
D'oh!

Sharv: White Castle?!?! After all that typing about the high quality of healthy food that Subway prepares, you'd dare even mention White Castle in the same paragraph?!

Why, GOD.....oh whyyyyyyyyy......?

Substrate, there's been worse. Remember the gorddamn Intel Dancing Bunnysuit People? I nominate them for "Corporate Mascot Most Sastisfying to Shoot"
 
2001-10-02 11:54:52 AM
Gotta agree with the Intel Bunnysuit People being so damned asinine. I mean, what was Intel thinking? "OK, we wanna sell lotsa processors, right? How can we do this? Use overplayed funk songs from the 70s and some weird guys in eye-numbing color suits! It'll be a sensation!"

Not that Blue Man Group is any better...

I heard Dan Castellaneta (Homer) on a recent radio interview and the question came up "Why isn't there a Homer Simpson brand doughnut?" He thought it would be a great idea but nobody has every pitched the idea.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...Homer Simpson doughnuts...hgnghnghnghnghngh
 
2001-10-02 12:14:05 PM
Uh, thats "Ever" pitched the idea. *shiat*

Take it from someone in the know about BK:Do not eat there.
The mayo is left out for hours at a time,chicken tenders and fish patties are left in their holding bins under hot lights for hours also,the fryer oil can be as black as motor oil,and one time,the pickles had these white flakes in them.The manager said they were fine,and to use the pickles.That's what I can think of off the top of my head from my time there.
 
2001-10-02 12:39:33 PM
Hey! Watch it with the Intel comments. Ya I really don't like BK at all. If I were to eat fast food, I'd sadly probably go with Mconalds. I just like that place better, but I tend to stay away from fast food these days. Good god Kthulhu: That's Nasty!! I'm never eating fast food again. Screw that. Back to Intel. That advertising was a great idea. When anyone asks me where I work, I say Intel,they say "Huh!?" and I say.. you know, the Blue Man Group commercials. And they say "Ohhh I know. Do you wear one of those funky bunny suits?" But, keep hating Intel. it's ok.
<-- Intel Employee

Fb: not eating fast food is indeed a very wise decision...but I was also just wondering as a side note how many McD's, Taco Hells, etc. there are in the Virgin Islands. Have they infiltrated to the extent that they have in Europe etc.?
 
2001-10-02 12:54:16 PM
Kthulhu: The same damnation is true for anyplace that hires worthless teens to prepare food or screen for terrorists at aeroports. Burger King isn't alone in their disregard for public safety. They, like the others, hire filthy children under loose supervision. People who eat there have no one to blame but themselves.
 
2001-10-02 12:59:32 PM
Still, this is true of all industries. Even fine restaurants. Do you really think they wash their hands? If you can't get past hands going from their arses to your mouth, maybe you should grow your own food.

"We know that kids love experimenting with outrageous colored food and drinks," said Ed Zambie, senior marketing manager for Coca-Cola, USA.

Ed Zambie. Ed Zombie.

Is this a gag like the Simpsons credits for their treehouse of horror specials?

Is the guy related to that Bob Zombie guy?

In a related story, Homer defends shilling for a fast food joint other than Krustyburger:
"They drove a truckload of money up to my door."
 
2001-10-02 01:33:11 PM
You mean Rob Zombie, Tucci?
 
2001-10-02 01:45:13 PM
I hope they release all the simpson's seasons on DVD
 
2001-10-02 01:56:41 PM
First, I find out that Nancy Cartwright (voice of Bart) is a Scientologist. Now this! What is my Simpsons-centered world coming to!?!
 
2001-10-02 02:48:31 PM
This isn't the worst advertising to come out of Burger King... remember Herb?
 
2001-10-02 03:32:23 PM
How about Mac Tonight? I know it's not BK but it was pretty sad.
 
2001-10-02 03:42:54 PM
 
2001-10-02 04:11:44 PM
I hate BK so much, I'm gonna go stab one of their cashiers in the head with a pen!
 
2001-10-02 04:25:33 PM
Sounds reasonable to me,
After all, Homer will eat anything!
 
2001-10-02 04:41:44 PM
Hey Tucci, I think that was a misquote. Wasn't that Krusty talking about his sponsorship of Kamp Krusty?
Anyway, I think that the much funnier part of this article had to do with the tongue costumes as Miss Kitty mentioned. A tongue costume sounds sounds like something a gigelo puts on before he goes to work. Didn't these used to be marketed as "dental dams?"

...Scary Black Cherry...
I bet Whoopie Goldberg has a scary black cherry
 
2001-10-02 08:08:12 PM
Col. Panic. I heard that every season will be on DVD. I dont know the dates though.
 
2001-10-02 08:18:34 PM
OK, since no one's said it yet, "Don't have a cow, man."
Although I think BK is accomplishing that themselves with "IT'S A BLACK "TONGUE" EVENT!" wtf?
