Burger King Restaurant Destroyed in Riot
A California Burger King was the scene yesterday for a vicious riot resulting in 12 people being severely injured and thousands of dollars of property damage.
Burger King was reportedly shooting a commercial hoping to capture customer’s reaction to news they were discontinuing the Whopper. In the popular ad hopes to capture customers distraught from news of the Whopper being discontinued. It seems Burger King captured a little bit more then they expected.
Local police claim patrons became incredible irate when the manager announced the discontinuation of the Whopper. One man reportedly began to rain blows down upon the manager’s head. Another began to beat the manager further with the “Wet Floor” sign after the manager fell to the floor. Other customers were lighting napkins on fire and squeezing all the ketchup packets out on the floor.
Customer Janet Green was visible upset after the ordeal “I never saw people so animalistic. It got out of hand so fast. No one should have to live though that.”
Members of the film crew and other representatives tried to calm the angry mob down but it was too late.
Myra Times, a lawyer who specializes in fast food cases”Burger King should have taken better precautions against the threat of angry customers. What did they expect when tricking customers into thinking the Whopper is gone? Happiness? They should have been prepared for angry customers ready to take revenge on behalf of their favorite hamburger.”
No word is out on customers considering legal action against Burger King.

Good riddance. The Whopper is a poor excuse for a burger anyways. I’d personally like the bitch slap “the king”.
