Violent Veg is much better. Come On, BK, if you're gonna bite... do it with style!

Cavity searches: Always funny. Sure, we've all pretty much resigned ourselves to living in a police state, but at least we get to live in a wacky! fun-filled! police state.

So that's something.

"May we forever associate Burger King onions with anal cavity searches.' - butt of course, the odor of the two is so similar.

Do those lady veggies have breasts? God, this is weird. I hate anthropomorphized food.

@4: yes, yes they do. In fact, the onion even has vegetable porn.

Couldn't they have come up with a better title than PlayVeg?

@5: Ahh, I just noticed that. Man, BK ads consistently make me feel creeped out. I hate the King, too.

More strange than this is the one showing the brothel street -- the potato madame standing under a sign that says, in lurid red neon, HAVE IT YOUR WAY. The peppers with tits! The onion in Y-fronts!

why are all the security people cucumbers? Is it a racial thing?

Mr. Poe hates onions. This could all be his doing.

The Pickle has some pubes sticking out....

BK must be pretty confident that its demographic consists entirely of law-and-order conservatives now.  Did Super Size Me really have that big an effect?

@13 -- I thought that was a distended anus.

Gramps onion with his shorts down and his butt about to be probed makes me want to disavow vegetable eating for the forseeable future. The skanky potato in the red light district ad pretty much seals the deal. But the "how we get ketchup" ad was kinda funny.

I can never tell if Burger King's marketing department consists of autistic stoner geniuses with a coke problem, or particularly lucid escaped schizophrenics with a coke problem. Either way, there is plenty of coke floating around BK headquarters.

The onion has a suitcase full of clothes, but vegetables don't seem to wear clothing. In fact, the onion seems to be the only one wearing any, and his pants seem only to be there so that we can see that they've been lowered... and, of course, they don't seem to be worn over underwear, despite the fact that he owns some (we see a pair of briefs on the floor). Somebody didn't think things through, unless this is supposed to be some terrible future where they've banned clothing on planes and in airports to keep people (/veggies) from concealing bottles of shampoo and other dangerous objects.

@7 The King freaks me the fuck out for some reason.

Is it just me, or does the pickle about to do the probing remind anyone of an anthropomorphized vegetable version of the cop from The Village People?

This is making me hungry.

Dan needs to lecture the chili sex worker. Don't leave pickles tied up and unattended!

Anyone not amused by this is a prude who probably has a pickle like the one in the picture -- village people costume and all-- up their ass. It makes me want to eat tons of Burger King even though Mcdonald's is better.

This gives new meaning to the jingle lyric "hold the pickles".

I just like the part where you said "onion's butt."
