Can we talk burgers for a moment here?

You know that commercial where they take the people that have never had a burger before and get them to try both a Whopper and a Big Mac as a true blind taste test? What kind of bullshit is that? First off, I don't buy for a fucking second that someone who has never had a burger before would take one bite and then make a decision; they would immediately eat both burgers and just say “oh my fucking lord, that was good,” change into a clean pair of underwear and ask for more. Also, what is this supposed to prove? Isn't the very premise that they need to go to the far reaches of the earth to find someone that hasn't had a Big Mac and a Whopper before absurd? Because what you're saying (as Burger King) is “I know that you've already had both sandwiches and have already made up your mind on them, but we'd still like to prove that our sandwich is better, even if you disagree”. Is that going to make anyone want to get a Whopper more? I feel like everyone already has a preference between BK and McDonald's and they have a strength about this. Personally, I prefer McD's a little bit, but would go to whichever place was more convenient; my mother LOVES BK but lives right near a McD's and as such goes there (literally) every day; I have one friend that GREATLY prefers one fast food place and is willing to drive 30 minutes out of his way to get what he wants: the point is, EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS WHICH (they think) IS BETTER!!!!

Also, what the fuck is "Toyoyathon of Toyatathons" supposed to mean? I should start watching sports of the DV-R so I can FF through the commercials, they're all retarded (except for the ones with Peyton Manning, which are consistently excellent).
