Bout Fucking Time

Nobody has any money, nobody has a job, yet McDonald's profits went up 80%!!!! In other words, why the fuck aren't these people in charge of getting our economy back on track? Wtf? - XMASTIME
Burger King is FINALLY dropping it's frat-boy nonsense and doing what we all should do: whatever the hell McDonald's does:
The No. 2 burger chain is changing its menu, its look, its marketing and its attitude, according to a 5/30 article by Elaine Walker in the Miami Herald. The creepy King character is going on an overdue “extended vacation,” dismissed by the chain’s 3G Capital ownership, as it shifts from sophomoric marketing narrowly targeted to teen boys to courting a broader clientele that even includes women.
On the menu side, Burger King will turn itself into…McDonald’s. The Herald story story says Burger King plans to add a number of new items that mimic Big Mac’s menu offerings. These include an Asian chicken salad with baby edamame, red cabbage and sesame lime vinaigrette; oatmeal with dried fruit and maple sugar, and mango and mixed-berry smoothies. Sound familiar?
I'd ask what took so long, but these are the dumb motherfuckers who took almost 30 years to think of "oh yeah, maybe we should copy the outrageously popular McNugget?"

They're also ONCE AGAIN fucking with their decor:
Burger King also has stood out for its jarring, dated décor and color palette. The earth tones will be replaced by a new interior décor in red and black. The new exterior design is notable for a black tower replacing the current mansard roof. The phrase “Home of the Whopper” will be featured on exterior signage and canopies will cover drive-thrus, the newspaper reports. 
While anything would be better than the boring, nondescript bullshit they've had for 20 years now, I really don't understand why the fuck they ever went away from what's still surely their most iconic look.  I mean, the colors LOOK LIKE A CHEESEBURGER!  Fucking christ.

Anyway, here's a coupla fuckiing pigs.
