I could write about how the United States recently passed legislation that will monitor illegal immigrants, the traffic flow coming in and out, and how there were talks of “walls” being built. My two cents could shine bright and loud by my thoughts on how this new legislation would make current illegals “legal” in that they don’t have to go back to their country after being found out, as long as they are paying taxes. Which they couldn’t do anyway because… you know… they’re illegal. But I won’t.
A big news story that hit this week is how charges were dropped against former Enron founder Kenneth Lay, or how the media made it look that all the charges were dropped, not just one of seven. I could express my concern in how the media mishandled it, or how they failed to explain which charge was dropped or why, but let’s face it. There is no free media anymore. As long as big money buys commercials, big media will be a joke.
What about Michael Jackson and his ex-wife Debbie Rowe? Now there are court orders to present court papers to a judge because someone cut something out in the original divorce? Does this mean that Jacko will be flying back to the US to try to settle this? Whoa… hold on a second. I think the more important question is this: Does anyone really care? I saw this story and was just shocked by the ridiculousness of his life, and how it’s ended up.
No… none of these stories are truly worthy. They’re good, but I’ve got one that’l blow your fucking mind. It involves… the Whopper.
Man Is Charged $4,300 for Four Burgers
In all fairness, it actually involved the Whopper Jr. Two of them to be exact, and a couple of Rodeo cheeseburgers.
The guy, George Beane, decided on grabbing a bite at the local Burger King in Palmdale, California. I don’t blame him, they have pretty good burgers. I’m not really too keen on their fries though, but I’m digressing.
Beane-o went through the drive-thru, placed his order, and presumably drove up to Window 1. He passed his card, got his order rung up, then I guess went to Window 2 to pick up his meal.
He probably got home, shared his grub with his wife Pat, and enjoyed what should have been a four dollar meal. With every bite he took, he was eating away about $100.
With all due respect, it was the cashier’s fault. She put in the wrong number while charging the card, which doesn’t really surprise me considering some of the people I know that have worked at Burger King before.
Everything’s been resolved. The Burger King refunded the money to the Beanes and didn’t charge them for the initial purchase. None of the Beanes’ checks bounced, including the one for their mortgage.
And for a couple of days, George and Pat had the exclusive honor of saying they ate like rock stars.
