Burger King Calls Global Warming “Baloney”
Editor:
I don’t eat much fast food but if this sign was in front of a fast food near me I’d make an exception. Hats of to the independent operator of the Burger Kings mentioned in this story.
Global Warming is a huge fraud and if you don’t understand by now – You aren’t too Bright!
If you live near one of these Burger Kings drop in, buy a burger and show your support.
Enjoy the story

Burger King Calls Global Warming “Baloney”
Posted by Chris Davis on Wed, May 27, 2009 at 8:19 PM
I must admit that the nightmares I have about Burger King’s regally creepy mascot already leave a bad taste in my mouth. But if the fast food industry’s most famous underdogs are really taking a stand against global warming science, I’m breaking up with the oh-so-delicious Whopper for good. And I mean it this time.Businesses usually don’t court political controversy, but signs at (at least) two Memphis Burger King locations read: “Global Warming is Baloney.” According to one employee at the Burger King on Union Avenue and Pauline, that’s no mistake.
Care to eavesdrop on my incredibly strange conversation with a female BK employee who didn’t identify herself? Read on.
Me: Hi, I’m calling from the Flyer about your sign. Does Burger King really think global warming is baloney?
BK: [Hangup]
Me 
calling back): Your sign out front says global warming is baloney.
BK: I don’t see that sir.
Me: Well it does.
BK: I don’t see that sir… I change the signs and that sign’s been up for a week.
Me: Well, I have pictures that I took this afternoon [cross conversation ensuring I'm calling the correct BK. I am]
Me: So there’s no question that your sign said it and so did one in Midtown. I want to know if it was on purpose or if it was a prank someone pulled on you.
BK: Let me get the manager. [several minutes of dead air then the same or very similar voice picks up.]
BK: Who were you holding for?
Me: A manager, about the sign. I have pictures of the sign and people have called me upset. I just want to know if it’s a mistake or not so I can report it. [rehash of previous conversation]
BK: Let me go outside and look at the sign and I’ll call you right back. [exchange of contact info]
[phone rings, I answer]
BK: The sign was put up yesterday.
Me: And it’s not a mistake?
BK: No.
Me: It reflects the opinion of BK international?
BK: Yes. Would you like to talk to the home office? I can give you a number.
Me: I’ve got the number, I’ve already contacted them. Thanks.
