    • The conservative advocacy group One Million Moms launched an online petition telling Burger King to edit or remove an Impossible Whopper ad.
    • The ad features the reactions of Burger King customers eating an Impossible Whopper, with one man saying “Damn, that’s good.”
    • The profanity earned backlash from One Million Moms, who also campaigned against the LGBTQ+ ad on the Hallmark Channel.

    They see other groups of crybabies launch online petitions and they think it looks fun.

    I don't actually give a damn but whatever.

    It's good to know they found some time from their obligation against the war on Christmas.

    Just curious...has anyone here actually eaten one of these things?

    My brother who has been a vegetarian for almost 50 years said he tried one and after 2 bites thought "Hey, I wonder if they cook these veggie patties next to the beef patties"?...anyway, after not getting the answer from the teller that he was hoping for, he threw it away...but he did admit that the few bites he had was damn good.

    "One million moms" is actually only "one meddling mom" that hired a PR co to spread her agendas.

    She has less than 5,000 Twitter followers.

    You might say, her name is one big whopper.

    Are the conservative whiners making a comeback? Will they be able to take the crown back from the liberal pc babies? Who will be the most annoying pussies in 2020?
    Stay tuned.

    Uhhh. The conservatives are losing already. Nobody cares about this but people are pissed that J Lo didn't get an Oscar nomination.

    I'm starting a new group, One Billion Mods, to fight back against the culture of complaining about mods.

    They should change the ad to "grab her by the pussy this burger is good" and they won't be offended anymore
