Burger King is having a wee bit of a horse meat scandal horsing around in Europe. And this made me think: Hey, why not try to deflect blame by acting like they meant to use horse meat for a new horse meat burger? They could even make a special TV spot to advertise it:
The Burger King is riding on a horse to go to a Burger King restaurant (along with a small company of bodyguards who are on foot), but the horse trips and breaks its leg. As it was the only horse, the Burger King cannot make it to the Burger King restaurant on time, and he and his company of bodyguards are beginning to get hungry. So the Burger King says: “How about some horse meat burgers, lads?” And everyone cheers (except the horse). Then the announcer says: “Hey, you can eat like a king too when you try the new Burger King horse meat burger: it’s galloping good!”
Maybe they could call it the “Giddyup Gourmet Burger”? Or perhaps the “Bronco Burger”?
