Burger King franchisee strikes back at global warming sheeple
By Gretchen Randall
Date: June 8, 2009
Issue: A Memphis owner of 40 Burger King restaurants, Mirabile Investment Corporation (MIC), displayed “Global warming is baloney” on the signs in front of many of its stores scattered throughout Tennessee. Burger King corporate headquarters has said the franchise owner does not speak for the entire company and has told the franchisee to remove the signs which it says are in violation of its franchise agreement.
However, J.J. McNelis, MIC Marketing president, told the UK Guardian, "Burger King can bluster all they want about what they can tell the franchisee to do, but we have free-speech rights in this country so I don't think there's any concerns." http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jun/05/burger-king-global-warming-us
Meanwhile, Keith Olberman of MSNBC named the franchisee owner as the “worst person in the world” on his show after reading about the signs.
Comment 1: Kudos to J.J. McNelis who told the Guardian, “But we're not sheeple* around here, and while Barack Obama would like to have you believe that no one is entitled to have a view other than his, if someone wants to stand up and say "Global Warming is Baloney", then I'm all for it.”
Comment 2: The American people are beginning to notice that Democrats and President Obama want them to be sheeple* but unfortunately, so far, many of our major companies seem to have succumbed to the Obama cult.
Background:
* (From Wikipedia) “Sheeple is a term of disparagement, a play on the words "sheep" and "people.” It is often used to denote persons who voluntarily acquiesce to a perceived authority, or suggestion without sufficient research to understand fully the scope of the ramifications involved in that decision, and thus undermine their own human individuality or in other cases give up certain rights. The implication of sheeple is that as a collective, people believe whatever they are told, especially if told so by a perceived authority figure believed to be trustworthy, without processing it or doing adequate research to be sure that it is an accurate representation of the real world around them.” [ED. — Could be applied to those who are believers in the Obama cult.]
