EXCERPTS: A row between the fast food giant Burger King and one of its major franchise owners has erupted over roadside signs proclaiming "global warming is baloney".
The franchisee, a Memphis-based company called the Mirabile Investment Corporation (MIC) that owns more than 40 Burger Kings across Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi, has described Burger King as acting "kinda like cockroaches" over the controversy. MIC says it does not believe Burger King has the authority to make it take the signs down.
The dispute began to sizzle last week, when a local newspaper reporter in Memphis, Tennessee, noticed the signs outside two restaurants in the city and contacted the corporation to establish if the message represented its official viewpoint. Burger King's headquarters in Miami said it did not, adding that it had ordered MIC to take the signs down.
He continued: "Burger King can bluster all they want about what they can tell the franchisee to do, but we have free-speech rights in this country so I don't think there's any concerns." More here: and here:
Ha ha - GO, MIC!! I'll bet his business is WAY up. He's right about one thing for sure ... Burger King bigwigs are scrambling from controversy like the cockroaches they are.

One imagines that someone at Burger King realised that the "global warming is baloney" line didn't exactly chime with the views of John Chidsey, the company's CEO, who believes that climate change is "an overriding issue of importance for the global community, business community and people in general", as he stated in this short interview conducted at this year's World Economic Forum. (How he squares this concern with his company's drive-thru, meat-munching business model is another matter, though.) From here:
Ha ha - I love how the "reporter" doesn't give a shit whether Burger King is on his side about climate change or not -- Burger King (meat munchers) is still the enemy. This is what you get when you try to appease jackass libs.
Hey - John Chidsey - here's an "overriding issue of importance" for you ... I've eaten my last Burger (or anything else) from Burger King ... unless, of course, I see one of the "baloney" signs outside -- THEN, I'm having a burger.
UPDATE - More thoughts:
And another thing, John Chidsey ... they're coming for you. Wait until they get through taxing the meat from cows because "cows cause global warming." What do you think THAT will do to your prices? What do you think THAT will do to your sales ... genius.
Wait until the lib media starts blasting your "meat-munching" operations like they did to "big tobacco" and "big oil." What derogatory name will they assign to your business ... "big meat?" ... "big cardiac-ac-ac-ac?" What will it be?
They're out to destroy your industry you clueless moron. You and morons like you went along with the joke for too long ... it's too late ... you're all but finished, but nice voting, asshat. Hey, maybe you can sell more salads ... people just LOVE those.
When they start with the taxing, what do you think your investors are going to do? Do you think they'll be selling any stock they have that is affected by meat sales? My guess is they're going to divest themselves until we get the socialists out of office. It'll be longer than that though. It'll be a generation before we can rid ourselves of the activist libs on the Supreme Court. Maybe THEN we can begin to reverse some of the idiocy that's been done over the past 40 years. I'm guessing you'll be long dead before your industry can make a comeback.
See ya later, John Chidsey ... jackass ... you're what is known as a "useful idiot." I'll be over here ... watching with glee ... as the libs break your ass.
