Conservative group calls for Burger King to remove Impossible Whopper commercial
By

Burger King is the latest target of One Million Moms, a conservative activist group that focuses on stopping the exploitation of our children, especially by the entertainment media, according to its website.
The group, a branch of the American Family Association, has launched several campaigns against television shows and advertisements, as well as entities like Chick-fil-A, Kelloggs and Barnes & Noble that tend to be popular with children.
The most recent campaign against Burger King came after the food chain released a promotional video for its new meatless Impossible Whopper, a plant-based alternative to the original burger.
The ad, showcasing peoples reactions to the Impossible Whopper in New York City, includes a man saying Damn, thats good. One Million Moms quickly launched a campaign to edit or pull the commercial from air altogether.

Sometimes I think these media events are a test, to see how we will react to various situations.
Could be commercial, could be political.

The show was near (or at) the bottom of the ratings when this delusional Michigan woman who didn't know how to change the channel wrote a letter expressing how offensive the show was. People got curious about what was so offensive, and the show went on for around a decade.
I'll bet NYPD Blue damn near killed that woman.
