Burger King's call for more female chefs backfired after they tweeted 'women belong in the kitchen' on International Women's Day.
While many across the country took the opportunity to celebrate women's achievements in social, economical, cultural and political fields, Burger King UK took to Twitter and shared the message: 'Women belong in the kitchen.'
They then went on to add a separate post which read: 'If they want to, of course. Yet only 20% of chefs are women. We're on a mission to change the gender ratio in the restaurant industry by empowering female employees with the opportunity to pursue a culinary career.'

#3, when you get to PC jail, save me a seat, ok?
Ok, BK forgot one simple fact. Liberals have no sense of humor and by extension no concept of sarcasm. We have seen examples of that here in L.com.
Until we can actually TALK to one another with a small measure of tolerance, fun is no longer permitted.
I get what was happening, they wanted to give the announcement a lighter touch for the target audience. To make it sound like fun and games..$$ to Doughnuts the people truly whining would have considered applying in the first place. I'd have to rescind the offer saying something like, We were unable to establish that our program would be offered in the spirit intended. Those who may be interested in a Chef program will just have to thank those who complained. We don't want to offend anyone.

Like it or not, When men went to work and women stayed home and took care of the home and the kids, we were better off. Families were closer and could live on one wage earners pay. Kids weren't farmed off to nursery schools for baby sitting because mom had go to work help to pay the bills.

Maybe it's just me, I think it's clever and funny. They were trying to be funny and they aren't allowed to be funny anymore. The liberals suck the joy out of EVERYTHING.

Only 20% of chefs are women? Funny, watching the competition shows on Food Network, I get the distinct impression that the chef industry is being overrun by butch lesbians.

Give BK a break. They just said belong in the kitchen. They didn’t add “barefoot and pregnant!”

We are going to see more and more of this kind of baffling stupidity. As the kiddies who have grown up under the protection of the cool kids club, deprived of the scar tissue that comes from being on the "wrong" side of a cultural revolution, suddenly find themselves making the decisions, they are ill prepared for the attacks that come with the territory. The left eat their own it's, what they do. Like the famous last words at the guillotine toward the end of the French revolution: "hey... but I'm on your side...thwack!"

That was dumb Burger King. Chefs? Really? Flipping frozen soy patties making a horrible burger is considered cooking like a real chef. Burger King is really off the rails but it is funny. Nothing can save Burger King I don't eat their garbage or walked into one in over twenty years.

I saw that ad yesterday and I knew they blew it big time at Burger King corporate. My theory was that maybe BK was trolling for more muslims to come work for them or something. After all, it is the UK, not noted for their listening skills sometimes.
