Burger King ad pulled


We live in a society that is very sensitive. Sometimes people b*tch and complain about stuff that is irrelevant. We live in a society where someone is always trying to get rich quick. We live in a sue-happy world. Title IX lawsuits, sexual discrimination, wrongful termination, etc etc....don't get me wrong I'm not in favor of groping your co-worker or telling her obscene jokes. But, you and I both know some people will sue for anything. Well Burger King has fallen victim to the ultra sensitivity of the world. Their new ad for the "Texican Whopper" has been pulled, because allegedly it "pokes fun at the Mexican culture." To read more and find out the details about this story click here. I'm a Hispanic that doesn't get offended easily so perhaps that's why this ad doesn't seem like the biggest problem in our world.
