This one needs to be screenshotted, both for when the tweet inevitably disappears and also to make clear what they were trying to do.

They have the best burgers by lovely bottom tier fast food burger standards but their chips are wank.

No, burgers were never covered in the act of union 1707 so the burger kingdom is not incorporated under the throne of the UK, however the burger king is required to recognize the suzerainty of the sovereign and the burger kingdom is a protectorate of the crown.

"This particular brand's twitter is quirky and fun, I'll follow it" -> "Brand twitter is cynically exploiting the 'quirky and fun' marketing angle, just as Bill Hicks said" -> "Manipulative brand twitters do it so clumsily and are so easily rumbled they might as well not bother"

I'm betting a LOT of marketing execs went to their social media teams last week and said "hey, you all saw that Potato Head thing, right? Do something just as cynical and politically divisive to drive some views. I don't give a poo poo what it is, just give us backpedaling room."

It generated a little controversy, but that was the goal to get it more attention, and anyone who looked at it for more than a second knew what he was actually doing.

EL BROMANCE posted:The only people who care about the royals are tourists, so the balls in your court for this. This is something that shits me to no end. Firstly when anybody says "the Royal family", it is assumed and understood that they meant the Windsors of England. But there are tonnes of other royal families out there in the rest of the world. Properly functional Kings and Queens and Princes and Princesses that serve the same legal and ceremonial functions, (often with more power and respect), that Lizzie the Deuce does. But nobody knows who or what they are. If I showed you a picture of Empress Masako, I doubt anyone would know who she was. Yet she has the same functional power as Prince Phillip, and fucktonnes more ceremonial importance. How about Queen Margarethe II? Nobody knows who the gently caress she is. Even here in Australia, where her Grandson Frederick is heir to the throne, and his mum in an Aussie. Then there's the fuckboi King of Thailand, whose exploits are far more tabloid worthy and salacious than Harry marrying a *gasp* foreign woman who dares to have opinions and stuff *gasp*. Yet there are entire industries built around the British Royal family, and putting Dianas face on any old tatt is still a surefire way to get dumb tourists to buy it. It annoys me because of the racism and colonialism of it all, (The English Royals are the only important Royals!), and also because gently caress monarchies, gently caress them in their inbred born to rule arses. Sorry about the rant.

A lot of people don't talk about other royals because if you do that in the areas where discussing them is most relevant you can go to super jail. English Royals are easy because the media is in the same language, there is a shared history between America and England and tabloid rumors about them are legal.
