Now Burger King has gone and done it. They've gone and honked off Spain. The country has said a recent commercial from the fast-food chain runs contrary to their recent initiative to slim down Spanish society. The ad is for Double-Cheese Bacon XXL (hard to believe why a burger with that name would cause problems, I know) and the government says it violates an agreement signed by a trade group to which BK belongs. The company says that it's just advertising a product on its menu and people always have a choice as to what to actually purchase and eat.Burger King has now angered Spain

(Page 1)2. "government says it violates an agreement signed by a trade group to which BK belongs"
See, this is why i never venture into continental europe. Why would u make an agreement that discourages the eating of a burger with double beef, bacon and cheese? i cant think of a better thing to live off.

1. Hmmm, and what about MD? Strange reaction on BK. I hate fast food, but when this anger is unexplained it becomes really surprise
