Hamburger Needs No Help

A package of uncooked ground beef says to the Hamburger Helper hand: "Hey man, I don't need your help! Keep your hand to yourself!" Insulted, the Hamburger Helper hand flips off the package of ground beef, saying: "Up yours, buddy: I was only trying to help, and this is the thanks I get?" (Actually, it's hard for us to tell, but the ground beef is actually ground veal, and it's rebellious because it's young, like how a teenage human might behave.)

Actually, come to think of it, a brand of ground beef that's pre-spiced could have an ad with a picture of the Hamburger Helper hand mascot with a red circle around it and a diagonal line through it (like a graphical, wordless "No Smoking" sign), and the slogan could be: "Hands off, Hamburger Helper: this hamburger needs no help!" It could be called: "Helpless Burger".
