Conservative group calls for Burger King to remove Impossible Whopper commercial

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, Kellogg’s 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 people’s reactions to the Impossible Whopper in New York City, includes a man saying “Damn, that’s good.” One Million Moms quickly launched a campaign to edit or pull the commercial from air altogether.

3. Hmmm...

This gives one ideas.

So, could anyone of us start an organization called Ten Million Democrats and start throwing some weight around by just using the name?

Today, and organization called Ten Million Democrats joined a new group called Fifty Million Liberals in order to target ___________.

Power in (no) numbers?

4. One Million Moms is a media hoax. Just try to find an actual member.

It is an online entity playing a media game.

Sometimes I think these media events are a test, to see how we will react to various situations.

Could be commercial, could be political.

6. Did they have a similar hissy fit over Trump's public use of 'bullshit' and 'goddamn'?

I'm sure they did not.

8. This should backfire just like the mom who was offended by

Married With Children.

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.

9. Wait 'til the "one million moms" find out

that Dementia Donnie said "grab 'em by the p***y".
