In an effort to broaden it’s consumer base, Burger King gets behind a [new addition to it’s menu](http://www.pbase.com/image/33251600.jpg). No telling what’s next at BK. 😃 ---

As funny as that is, I’m 90% certain it’s a photoshop fake. They have they’re ‘angus’ burgers, so someone replaces the ‘g’ with the ‘a’, and then replaced the ‘a’ with a blank square. Not that hard, really. I just doubt it could ever be up there long enough for someone to take a picture of it before someone at BK noticed. ---

Are the people at BK really that dense? It never occured to them that their new product sounds too much like a real unpleasent body part? This is why I need a job in advertising. I’d have an advisory panel of 5-15 year olds, and if any of them giggles at my slogan or product name, out it goes. ---

I just doubt it could ever be up there long enough for someone to take a picture of it before someone at BK noticed. Occam’s Luddite Razor suggests that, since the sign is at street level, perhaps the person who took the picture did that in the real world. It wouldn’t take more than a minute or two. ---
