- thegamingguy, on 12/20/2008, -6/+198I love that they want to get into the psyche of the offender.
- satyamtech, on 12/20/2008, -4/+185How stupid is this?
- lynchjos, on 12/20/2008, -6/+151have it your way
- mediaspree, on 12/20/2008, -1/+140B.K understands viral marketing. We are all suckers for having clicked through to see this. mmm how about a whopper tonight?
- inactive, on 12/20/2008, -1/+128And you guys thought digg was going downhill...
- MelekTawus, on 12/20/2008, -0/+67I think it's obviously a joke. I don't think you can issue a cease & desist via twitter. :)
- BeShirtHappy, on 12/20/2008, -4/+61Hilarious! Ummmm, well I've never had a whopper before ...
- ProfitMoney, on 12/20/2008, -4/+56Viral Marketing. And this story blows.
- bmatherlyjr, on 12/20/2008, -2/+53"I wish I had never been twittered..."
- spokenkaraoke, on 12/20/2008, -7/+54he's the king, you do what the king says
- bradharrelson, on 12/20/2008, -5/+51Buried. Stupid
- AmyVernon, on 12/20/2008, -0/+41I know!!! The C&D was bizarre enough, but the request for motivation was what put it over the top for me.
- kingUssop, on 12/20/2008, -3/+42Buried as it's probably just ad agency shenanigans.
- Idietired, on 12/20/2008, -2/+30What's your motivation, by the way ... ?
- inactive, on 12/20/2008, -21/+46I wish Twitter would roll over and die. It is the most annoying new website of 2008.
- leftyfb, on 12/20/2008, -4/+29Sorry, but this twitter account isn't official. Anyone bother looking at the previous tweets?
@ronaldmcdonald screw you 3:25 PM Nov 14th from web in reply to ronaldmcdonald
buried as inaccurate - ProfessorSYM, on 12/20/2008, -4/+28An enormous, monumental, phenomenal...kick in the balls.
- tvanwyk, on 12/20/2008, -0/+24Well, you can, but I doubt it'd carry any weight in civil court!
- punkcat, on 12/20/2008, -4/+27cease and desist please.
- inactive, on 12/20/2008, -8/+29Burger King uses Twitter? Why would they pick their username from a ***** Dane Cook skit, though?
- DavidChouinard, on 12/20/2008, -1/+19A whoppervirgins tweet 4 days ago: "Got a sesame seed stuck in oddest place"
- inactive, on 12/21/2008, -0/+18...why the ***** does this have over 700 diggs?
- rdubbs, on 12/20/2008, -0/+16because it's actually from a de la song … which is a way better reference … or at least one that you don't have to be ashamed of knowing
- Spinducky08, on 12/20/2008, -3/+17BK + Twitter = LAME
- Jackson0909, on 12/20/2008, -0/+14Just shut up already. No one is forcing you to eat their food.
- FishHammer, on 12/20/2008, -1/+13That's not drool.
- Alias1431, on 12/20/2008, -5/+16http://www.whoppervirgins.com/
- techtock, on 12/20/2008, -4/+15What's the law on the trademark of common words anyway? Whopper is in the dictionary and says nothing of BK's sandwich.
- daRoach, on 12/20/2008, -4/+15Child abuse if you ask me.
- TunaFishGangsta, on 12/20/2008, -2/+12BK's marketing team definitely GETS it. They have successfully understood exactly what the sarcastic lollerskates crowd is all about and play it very well.
I'm not a big fan of fast food or big food corps, but I've got less animosity to them for not having a stick up their bun. - bradleyland, on 12/20/2008, -13/+23Enormously?
Monumentally?
No, no wait...
Phenomenally?
What do I win? What do I win!? - daRoach, on 12/20/2008, -3/+13It's a space station.
- javaroast, on 12/20/2008, -1/+11You are correct. Buried as inaccurate. Burger King did not issue a Cease and Desist.
- diggdong, on 12/20/2008, -3/+12Somewhere in America there is a man in a chicken suit doing the moon walk.
- noodhoog, on 12/20/2008, -1/+10WHERE'S YOUR GOD NOW????
- GlennHumplik, on 12/21/2008, -1/+10anyone else get the feeling a lot of these comments are faked?
- jtron9k, on 12/20/2008, -1/+10Digg and the rest of the world.
- TheWriteGuy, on 12/20/2008, -4/+13I too believe this is probably staged on the part of BK. Seriously, the BK brand just doesn't seem like it would inspire much of a fanbase.
- squelched, on 12/21/2008, -3/+12you win a bury
- bdfariello, on 12/21/2008, -0/+9A whopper virgin is probably the last type of virgin I expected to find on Digg.
- HastyNameChoice, on 12/21/2008, -0/+8actually Burger King don't do the marketing, their advertising agency Crispin, Porter and Bogusky do; and they're really quite clever. They also created one of the best ads ever, for Ikea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I07xDdFMdgw
- kingsal, on 12/21/2008, -2/+10Wendy's = McDonald's = Taco Bell = Burger King = Trash Dumpster
- sparkplug890, on 12/20/2008, -3/+11Dugg for Twitter not crashing despite being Dugg.
- yeahaboutthat, on 12/20/2008, -1/+8Other than for the more expensive chains at higher prices, the Whopper offers a virtual garden salad on top of the meat, compared to other comparable places like McDonalds and so forth.
- ..eD, on 12/20/2008, -1/+8that is a whopper of a comment
- KibibyteBrain, on 12/20/2008, -1/+8You can trademark common words in a specific context of use. Ex Apple.
- databeast, on 12/20/2008, -1/+8Bacon is a Vegetable!
Chicken is a confused fruit! - anyup, on 12/20/2008, -7/+14oh my god what happen? soggy buns :-)
- Atertract, on 12/20/2008, -1/+8Bacon's taste should indicate to even the most casual observer that it is of Divine origins and not an earthly meat product.
