Report: Burger King pays visit to McDonald’s
Did you hear the one about the man dressed as Burger King that went into McDonald’s? No, this isn’t a joke about The Hamburglar, either.
And once inside, the competitor’s mascot proceeded to hand out burgers, dance and pose for pictures, according to a Rome News-Tribune story. The “king” said it was for charities, but he didn’t collect any money in the West Rome restaurant Monday afternoon, according to the report.
It sounds funny, unless you’re the restaurant manager. She wasn’t laughing when she called police to report a “suspicious person,” according to the police report obtained by the newspaper.
When approached by the manager, the costumed man got into a white Acura and left, but officers tracked him down by his tag number. Probably wasn’t the first time for the prankster, shown here in a YouTube video.
Do you have a beef to pick with this guy, or do you think it was a harmless act?

If he gets caught and jailed, this burger “King” is likely going to end up a burger “Queen”….

if he is a democrat he can just apologize, if he is a republican, he must apologize, lose his job and never work again. he would then become a democrat.

I think the prank was funny but the woman getting all bent out of shape over it is hilarious. If you’re going to be a manager at a fast food place you need to be ready for the weirdos. Its kind of like people of walmart-just expect it and you’ll be able to laugh it off.

Just a good distraction to take up newspaper space that could be better spent on Obama’s incompetence.

In many countries, food laws define specific categories of ground beef and what they can contain. For example, in the United States, beef fat may be added to hamburger, but not to ground beef if the meat is ground and packaged at a USDA-inspected plant..
