I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so. I saw that Norm MacDonald hangs out in Vegas sometimes. He playes poker in tournaments occasionally. It is completely conceivable to me that that is Norm getting his whopper fix after a good smoke. I have to hear from the man himself if it isn't.

We were discussing what kind of drugs you have to ingest so that everything happening in the world takes five seconds to permeate your drug induced haze. Classic!

Don't drag your family into this, our problems need to rest between the two of us. Come on down to any Burger King, and we can read TS Eliot poems to each other, while bathing and eating Whoppers. I promise, I get the "young people" those little delicious whipper snappers! Maybe we can play a quick game of hand strings with them while listening to some of that darn harpsichord music they love so much! Glennys,

I think the new ad campaigne is disgusting, cheap, and ignorant. If this is the only way they think they can communicate with our young people, SHAME ON THEM!! My family will NOT be a customer again. Ever!! I, for one, will not be “freakin’ dissapointed” about not getting a whopper. I think the new ad campaigne is disgusting, cheap, and ignorant.

I was looking for "Norm McDonald and Burker King Ads" and came across this. That is so funny that I am not the only person in America who thought of this. I have a conspirary theory: They didn't want to tell us that it was Norm McDonald b/c his name was too close to the Burger King competition (McDonalds). Was that him in a costume? hahaha.
