Burger King Mascot FAIL?

2011-08-19T12:00:00.000-07:00

I'd like to start out by saying that I actually enjoy burger King Burgers. Well some of them. I have found that they differ from place to place. My favorite burger king is in Orange CA on the intersection of Lincoln and Tustin. I am guessing they have a better broiler, because I'm not the only one that notices the quality difference.

In looking back I have to say I've always question the decision to go with a creepy looking mascot.

I was also shocked when I saw an ad where the King breaks into McDonald's to steal their breakfast sandwich early this year. Yes I did go to Burger King only to find out they stold the wrong recipe. Yes it was funny, but it lowered my view of Burger King.

So to hear that they are getting rid of their Mascot to focus on was a good thing. I figured that the new Agency they switched to in June of this year probably encouraged it.

My question is - do you think that the Burger King Mascot was a FAIL or not ??

This is shaping up to being the greatest cyber-battles of our time. If you have not heard of Anonymous you have probably either been in a coma, or in a region without internet access.

Anonymous collective has become increasingly associated with collaborative, international hacktivism, undertaking protests and other actions, often with the goal of promoting internet freedom and freedom of speech. The group started getting famous with its protest against the Church of Scientology. Their Hack targets have included: Downing the australian government websites, Attacked Tea parties Facebook, Bank of America, Hacked into Sony (operation Payback for not allowing people to install other operating sytems on PS3, Helped Wikilieaks, attacked Amazon, Paypal, Master card, Visa, and the Swiss bank PostFinance sucessfully.

They are now threatening to take down zuckerberg's Facebook on Nov. 5th.

The Anonymous Internet hacking group is planning to "kill" Facebook and has announced the date it will attempt do so, in a statement gaining prominence Tuesday. But the group is clearly not unified against the social network.

In a YouTube video, the hacking group warns, "Your medium of communication you all so dearly adore will be destroyed."

Will they succeed ??? stay tuned in and continue to use facebook to find out.

Have a great day :)

Gunmen Open Fire On SEPTA Bus - Worst Shooters in History (warning video)

2011-08-05T12:57:00.000-07:00

So I was upset when I initially read this article, and extremely relieved no one was hit. A Lady named Penny Chapman (allegedly) gets mad makes a call and these kids come with guns to kill a man on the bus - because he threatened to call DHS on her for spanking her child. Thank God these guys are the worst shooters ever.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – It’s like something out of the movies. But, in this case the guns are real and the victims are SEPTA passengers in the wrong place at the wrong time, although remarkably no one was hit. Click here for Full Story

So I saw this article and I thought this guy looked familiar.

NY TIMES D.B. Cooper hijacking mystery is revived with 'promising lead'

A reported tip has led investigators to a person who might have information on D.B. Cooper's 1971 jetliner skyjacking, and an unspecified item has been sent to a lab. It's the 'most promising lead we have right now' in a case that has captivated the public imagination, an FBI spokesperson tells a Seattle newspaper. . . .

Is it just me or does this guy resemble Agent Coulson from The Avengers ??

or maybe Agent Smith from the Matrix?

- I think after a side by side I give it to Agent Coulson. what do you guys think ??
