The “Proud Whopper” to celebrate gay pride, will be in a rainbow wrap.

Burger King released a short film Wednesday on YouTube featuring patrons’ reactions when opening the new burger, offered during San Francisco’s Pride Parade Sunday, June 29. The burger appears different on the outside, but soon enough customers realize it’s the same Whopper the fast-food chain has been selling for years. Once unwrapped, the words “We are all the same inside” are revealed on the wrapper.

“I cried in there because I was overwhelmed,” one patron said in the video. “A burger has never made me cry before.”

“Have it your way” has been changed to “Be your way.”

    That headline is the straight line of the decade. Dare we take advantage? Where’s Andy when we need him?

      When I shared this story this morning on Facebook one of my friends from Australia wrote me:
      “Very disapointed in your post about the Gay Pride Whopper. Rushed into the bathroom to open the the link and IT’S A F&^CKING HAMBURGER!
      How am I supposed to wank to that sh*t man?”

    I do hope this doesn’t encourage young people into the dangerous and morally questionable practice of eating fast food. It’s like those toys in the Happy Meals. It’s a gateway drug.

    “soon realize it’s the same”, Yeah, not so much. But kudos to the real King (sorry Obama) for your creepy ass head and the proud Whopper!

    You know what’s fun? Having multinational corporations make empty gestures like this. Slap a rainbow and the word “PRIDE” on your product and shill it to fair-weather allies. No, don’t bother actually helping or anything, don’t trouble yourself. I’m totally cool with being exploited by capitalism. I’m loving it.
