So, as some of you may know, Burger King has a New Moon movie promotion where they have exclusive merchandise. The thing is, it's not available instore. You have to order it online. My sister, being a typical teenage girl, likes the Twlight saga. So I got her some of the stuff. It arrived today, in a nondescript white box. Which is good. Unfortunately, the fucking idiots at BK decided it would be a smart idea to put an invoice on the shipping label listing the content of the package, right under my fucking name. So I'm at work till 6, my sister comes home at 2, brings in the mail, and in the process of sorting it, accidentally spoils her Christmas present.
I am so mad. This is all kinds of fucking fail on Burger King's fault. They should fucking know better, and this is inexcusable. I hope all of Burger King's employees die horrible deaths. All of them. From the CEO to the kid with Down's Syndrome who only works one day a week as part of the deal with his assisted living facility.
Okay, that's kind of harsh. I take that back. I don't wish death upon all Burger King employees. Instead, I wish death upon all their families and all their pets. And they should have to watch. And then their eyes should be gauged out, so that their families dying is the last thing they ever see. Then their arms and legs should be cut off. And their noses. And their tongues. But not their ears! NOT THEIR EARS. You know why.
If this seems unreasonable, I disagree. BURGER KING COMPLETELY FUCKING RUINED THE LEXIA FAMILY CHRISTMAS.
There is no punishment wicked enough for these miserable bastards. But if there is to be one, the one I have suggested above will do.

That's pretty lame dude. Do you feel obligated to get something different now or is everything just ruined?

To the pain!

Eh, I'll get her other stuff. She's the most fun person in my family to shop for, because she's into all sorts of random stuff and she's always very gracious.

We have given up on the art of surprise in my family. Our tastes are so unique we have to spell out what we want. You should focus your "kill every pet" on the promotional company though. I'm sure Burger King's involvement was pretty limited. Every time a promotion was messed up for me I had to contact some outside company correct it. Usually they outsource that shit. Look at the return address and your anger will turn a different direction (or at the direction at the people who approved that company).

Yes. All current forum members are exempt.
Any BK employees who join the forums after December 16 are exempt from this amnesty.

I literally get money from my parents and am told to buy myself stuff and to bring it to their house so it can be wrapped. Now tell me what the fucking point is. And thats pretty shitty by the way.

I'll round up the rest of the employees in my BK for the gouging and the beating and the killing and the glayvin.

So my Official Screaming Teenage Fangirl is into Twilight. I mean, I'm not surprised, but now this makes the pre-emptive choice to agree to be on a soundtrack all the more viable.

What bothers me is when I went to Burger King around 3 weeks ago, I saw two strange men staring at me from inside the doors. I start walking towards the doors and they don't move, I'm actually curious as to what the hell is going on. I get to the doors and realize that they're fucking life size New Moon decals of two guys on the doors. Creepy fucking shit.

What we usually do now is make one gift for many holidays. This year, my youngest sister, for her birthday, for Christmas and maybe something else I forgot, she got a laptop.

Burger King fails in every possible way, so this comes to no surprise to me. Their food sucks, marketing campaign is shit and apparently their descreet packaging abilities are terrible too.

That, and their commercials are much better than McDonald's. Burger King commercials actually make me laugh and keep me entertained unlike McDonald's horrible ones. Any one remember that Super Bowl commercial of theirs a few years ago with that black kid dancing? Ugh...it seemed to never end.

I was actually kind of offended by the "Fistbump fireworks" commercial McDonalds has been playing. Is it just me or does it really try to make white people look absolutely retarded?
