Burger King goes *Woke*: #FeelYourWay campaign

[DavidFerrie]

First the #NoFapNovember campaign, and now this phony-compassion B.S. , where fast-food now caters to People with Issues.

The Therapeutization of Fucking Everything continues apace:

I imagine the crap that's in their food would end up making you feel much worse.

 

[ProgKing of the North]

I actually kinda like this, not gonna lie

Not enough to actually eat it or anything, but it’s mildly amusing

 

[Sprig of Parsley]

Because I know if I were a person with mental health issues I would want a fucking burger chain whose bottom line is selling me as much unhealthy crap to eat as possible to talk to me about it

How many times do companies have to see this kind of activism go poorly before they finally give up on reaching the woke crowd?

What the fuck does my mental health have to do with the shitty hamburger restaurant down the block that’s always empty and has gross bathrooms?

Burger King probably detected that Starfucks and Wholeboots clientelle is going broke, and took the opportunity.

A lot of these companies are run by or have people in the marketing department that is in the woke crowd. Many of them will never learn.

Yeah, I've always figured as much. However, that doesn't mean things won't or can't change.

What a great idea to have corporations validate your shitty emotions through useless products, especially fast food, to get you to emotionally rely on said products instead of you just addressing your emotions proactively and not have your head stuck up your own ass.

 

[KeyserBroze]

Not everyone wakes up happy, sometimes you feel sad, scared, crappy

Could this be any more obvious in targeting those who have yet to join the workforce?

 

[XYZpdq]

I get the impression this is more of a tongue-in-cheek take on the "Happy Meal" based around chatting about feeling pissed on twitter than it is about trying to open a dialog about mental illness.
Also like many things MST3k invented this decades ago.

Remember how many companies made asses out of themselves by trying to be be"hip and edgy" in the 90s? These companies will always do shit like this.

 

[Sprig of Parsley]

so mcdonalds sells happy meals, burger kind sells depression meals?

You tell me you wouldn't be depressed by the fact that you're eating fucking Burger King

Too be fair the whole "hip and edgy" thing worked and made them a metric shit ton of money. The difference is wokeness does not garner the same monetary gains.

The Burger King Kids Club is now an accurate representation of their generation.

 

[torus]

Bourgeoisie capitalists giving meaningless virtue signals, typical. How about you give back the surplus value you stole from your workers instead?

Yup. There's a whole book about how this began, and eventually permeated American culture.

What's amusing in BK's case though is that just last year they embarrassed themselves with their Chick Fries stunt and evidently learned nothing. Hell I think fucking Wendy's made fun of them for it.

Video is currently setting at 8.9K dislikes vs. 2.9K likes btw.

Feeling emotional? Going through a hard time?

Why not start a fast-food binge eating habit!
