Our Grease is Non-Partisan

"Burger King has announced that it will not run its commercials Sinclair Broadcasting's "A POW Story: Politics, Pressure and the Media," pulling ads from nine local markets. Burger King says that "does not endorse any candidate or political party." (Rumor has it that the King supports a monarchy.)

Meanwhile, StopSinclair.org has gathered some money and is placing Meanwhile, newspaper and television ads in selected markets. StopSinclair.org contends that Sinclair's announcement that they will not be airing the original documentary is essentially all spin:

All indications are that a large portion of the film will be shown and compounded by commentary attacking John Kerry. This action by Sinclair is NOT a capitulation.  We must not allow Sinclair to get away with airing a fake news show as an attempt to throw the election to George W. Bush.



Somehow I have a feeling that their "news piece" is going to be "kinda pregnant."

I love that weird Burger King commercial where the King pops up in bed with that dude and says, in a comforting erotic voice, "Eggs, and meat, and cheese... and meat, and cheese..." There's so many ways that can be tweaked into a political parody.
