Burger King Ad Angers Mexican Officials


It's like Burger King is just looking for negative press. The company is under fire over a recent ad for the "Texican whopper," a cheeseburger with chiles and spicy mayonnaise which is available in Europe. The Mexican ambassador to Spain saw it and took offense at the inappropriate use of the Mexican flag, which is draped over a wrestler like a poncho. No word yet on whether or not BK will drop the ad.

Comments

If you look at the ad closely, it's really an Italian flag. There's no coat of arms in te middle. So does this mean the Italians should be angry?
