BURGER KING: SNL Whopper Virgin Parody

Burger King has done it again… earned a spoof by Saturday Night Live. This time it’s a parody of the bizarre Whopper Virgin ad campaign. Take a look:
The tradition of SNL spoofing bad Burger King campaigns goes back at least as far as “Where’s Herb?”
This time Neil Patrick Harris plays a spokesman for Burger King who asks residents from Budesti, Romania who’ve never tasted a Whopper or Big Mac, which one of the tasty burgers they like best. One man protests that he’s rather bring them back to his village and feed the villagers for a month. A woman confesses that she is not, in fact, a virgin… and it’s her uncle’s fault. Another man appears to be the village idiot.
Is it really possible that there’s a village that does not yet have a McDonald’s or Burger King? C’mon guys… let’s get cracking!

“Is it really possible that there’s a village that does not yet have a McDonald’s or Burger King?” And to answer your question: yes there are many villages that don’t have MD or BK or KFC or any other fast-food. And you want to know why? Because unlike american people, who are yet to discover a lot about food, romanians eat healthy organic vegetables and fruits. That is why they are still fit in their 40’s, unlike 2/3 of the american population. I am a romanian who lived in new york for almost 6 months and I can say that the american food has serious problems. During my stay I gained around 4 pounds by barely eating anything (that was because the food in the US has an awful taste, everything is genetically modified), my hair was growing much faster and I was feeling hungry even after finishing eating. I came back to Romania and I lost that weight in less than 2 months, by eating twice as much as I was eating in the US. My weight is 50 kg, something most american people would only dream of. And in case you are wondering, the people they ridiculed in this add are happy and proud they can eat the way they do and live the lives they do, although they are made fun of by ignorant people who’d rather eat junk food than something natural, just because of a funny add. If you I come to think about it, I’m not at all surprised of this type of commercial. After all, what can you expect from a nation whose history only just began a couple of hundred years ago. So enjoy eating genetically modified food, while we’ll continue eating the tasty natural one we grow in our backyard.
Oh, and in case you have any doubts about what I said in the previous comment, check an encyclopedia to see how many of the american people suffer of obesity and are likely to develop a heart condition as a consequence and how many children develop obesity before reaching puberty. I am a doctor and know these things for a fact, especially as I did work in a hospital in New York. So have a nice day and think twice before eating MD and BK.
