King of Burgers my Ass!
Burger King has been pissing me off all night. The parents went out to a movie so I decided to get a burger for dinner. Having seen the Burger King commercial on TV about free downloads with Whopper purchases, I figured Id go get a whopper.
So first off, I get to BK and there is a sign saying that if you order a double whopper, you get two free downloads. Now this made sense, and I was pretty hungry, so I ordered a Double Whopper with no mayo and no onions. And then the roof caved in. It took them about twenty minutes to get me my burger, partly because the cashier accidently gave away my order to someone in the drive thru. So I finally got the order and drive home. I looked at the wrapper, and I only had an access number for one download. Shit! Oh well, atleast I had a delicious sandwich. Oh wait, aparently "No Mayo and No Onions" means "Only Mayo and Onions". That was it, the only things I didnt want were the only things I had, and they decided to be very liberal with the toppings and slop the mayo on and throw in a handfull of onions. G'AH. So now I'm pissed, but the burger is still salvagable. I manage to wipe off the copious amounts of mayo and pick off all the onions. I then proceed to chop my own lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles and create the sandwich I originally wanted.
Now this alone would be enough to get me to avoid BK for awhile, but there is still more. Tonight I went online and decided to try and download Franz Ferdinand's "Take me out" with my free song promised on my whopper wrapper. After navigation through BK's site for ten minutes I get to the point where you have to download special BK download software. I click on the link. "I'm sorry, but this software is not compatable with Macintosh computers!" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! God Damn It! You just made the list Burger King!
I think tonights events have put me off BK for several years. Looks like I'm back to a 90% Rally's, 10% WhiteCastle Man.

Pat,
I'm in the library reading your tale, and I just about threw up all over my computer. That's one of the funniest retellings I've seen in a long time. Well, yes, I'm pathetic, I suppose, but nevertheless I'm trying hard not to bust out in the middle of scores of bitter students reading all about this procedure and that substance.
