The editor of Herman Cain’s website is upset by the news that Burger King is planning to sell an LGBT pride themed burger at one San Francisco location, but is consoled by the fact that his own ability to cook has landed him a “super-hot wife” who’s “a girl, by the way.”
Dan Calabrese wrote last week at Cain TV that “when I get ready to consume my lunch, the thing I want to be thinking about is dude-on-dude action.”
“… I don’t remember the last time adulterers, murderers or drunk drivers convinced a burger chain to name a product after them, and publicly declared their pride in what they do,” he added. “You’re the ones who are making it an issue, not me.”
Flaming broiled.
Sigh. I can tell you for sure that when I get ready to consume my lunch, the thing I want to be thinking about is dude-on-dude action.
Hold the pickles
Hold the lettuce
Lunch and gay sex can’t upset us!

I actually prefer the Whopper to its counterparts at McDonald’s and Wendy’s, and the ice cream shakes are really good when the machine doesn’t break (which is sadly not that often).
Problem, though:
You tell me not to judge you for what you do that is in blatant rebellion against the Word of God. OK. You tell me not to be a hater and not to obsess over certain sins when others are just as troubling to God. Fair enough.
But I don’t remember the last time adulterers, murderers or drunk drivers convinced a burger chain to name a product after them, and publicly declared their pride in what they do. You’re the ones who are making it an issue, not me. I’m just telling you what God’s Word says. If you don’t want to hear that, then don’t insist on constantly making it a topic of public conversation. (Then again, the thieves have the Hamburglar, so there is that.)
So if Burger King wants let its affiliation be known in the culture war, again I say, fair enough. One more reason I’m glad I learned to cook in college. Not only do I not need Burger King, but it helped me to attract a super-hot wife who remains super-hot even after 17 years of marriage to me.
She’s a girl, by the way.
The American Decency Association, meanwhile, is all but declaring a boycott of the chain, telling OneNewsNow, “When we hear of a corporation that is just making decisions such as this, this is clearly a time for people to use whatever means they can to express that concern at their local Burger King.”
Iowa-based talk show host Steve Deace, for his part, is suggesting that the “Proud Whopper” discriminates against Christians:
Over at @BurgerKing you can “be your way” unless your way is you’re a Christian. #youwillbemadetocare http://t.co/ydLGeGZXLo
