A Conservative Moms Group Is Really Upset Burger King Used The ‘D-Word’ In An Ad

Conservative activist group One Million Moms has beef with Burger King over its use of the so-called “d-word” in a commercial for the Impossible Whopper burger.

The group, which infamously pressured Hallmark to remove a commercial depicting two women kissing on their wedding day, is now offended by the fast-food chain’s “highly inappropriate” use of “profanity” in a prime-time TV ad.




On Friday, the conservative group issued a press release arguing that Burger King should be “more responsible in its marketing decisions” since families were likely watching television during the times the commercial aired.

“The language in the commercial is offensive, and it’s sad that this once family restaurant has made yet another deliberate decision to produce a controversial advertisement instead of a wholesome one,” the statement said. “Burger King’s Impossible Whopper ad is irresponsible and tasteless. It is extremely destructive and damaging to impressionable children viewing the commercial.”

The petition to remove or edit the ad had over 9,000 digital signatures on Monday, according to the group’s website.

So it's probably some interns at AFA that run the site. #astroturfhomophobia

Variations of the word, "damn," appear in the KJV (the right wingers' favorite version to use as a weapon against people) numerous times.

And, if you really want to make them get frustrated to the point that smoke starts coming out of their ears as they sputter impotently, point out how many times variations of the word, "piss," appears in the Bible too. There is quite a bit of pissing on walls in the Bible.

Right wingers are so selective in what offends them. Half the time, the things that offend them are actually in the very Bible they carry and use as a weapon against certain groups of people they despise. Sometimes, I wonder if they have ever even read it.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.

Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

Romans 3:8
And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.

Romans 13:2
Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

Romans 14:23
And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

1 Corinthians 11:29
For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

2 Thessalonians 2:12

But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

2 Peter 2:3
And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
