Well, I have finally sacrificed ten Facebook friends in pursuit of a free Angry Whopper from Burger King. You’ve all seen who I’ve cut. Now it’s time to reveal the final piece of the puzzle.
Who could be more deserving of a sacrifice than Sherayay? The answer after the jump…
Why, it’s none other than Kim Zolciak from The Real Housewives of Atlanta. And yes, this is the REAL Kim. There’s a tightrope between me and Kim, but I had to cut it because let’s face it, I’ll take a free burger over any bewigged idiot who’s afraid of a mortar and pestle.
So with this monumental sacrifice, Burger King let me know it was time for me to claim my Whopper. Easier said than done.
After clicking “Claim My Whopper,” the following screen popped up:
WHAT?!?! I couldn’t just print out some coupon with a barcode? Of course not. I had to fill out information so that the coupon could be mailed to me. You know what this means: Burger-themed junk mail on the horizon. Normally, I would have simply moved on to something else out of protest, but after all the effort I’d put in to get to this point, I really wanted that Whopper. Damn those marketing gurus! They totally trapped me! Fear not: I gave as much fake info as I could.
Okay, so after I compromised my morals and value by handing over my address to Burger King, what should I learn next?
WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!
Now I have to wait a minimum of two weeks? By the time this damn coupon arrives, the Angry Whopper will be gone! This is the biggest bullshit I’ve ever seen in my life.
Needless to say, I’m not happy, BURGER KING.
I’ll continue to post updates as necessary…

I’m just happy I’m not the only person who admittedly Facebooks reality TV stars.
Thanks, B-side, for making me feel a little less pathetic.
I only added her so I could delete her. Sorry, Pange.
it sounds like the Angry Whopper campaign is to make the customer angry. Nice going Russ Klein.
(Klein is a director on the board of RSI, Burger King Corporation’s multi-billion dollar supply chain organization dedicated to the BURGER KING® system. Mr. Klein has led marketing and advertising teams for such brands as Gatorade®, McDonald’s®, Maytag®, Wilson Sporting Goods®, Keebler® Cookies, Kimberly-Clark®, Mead Johnson Medical Nutritionals® and United Airlines®.)

it better be an angry whopper, those pictures of average whoppers are deceiving…
okay – not to be a complete dork, but if that’s their actual coupon, then somebody in their advertising/marketing department needs to be fired for improper use of “it’s” versus “its”
Sorry – that kind of stuff just bothers me.
Carry on.

I didn’t notice that at first (shockingly), but you are absolutely right!
Amateurs.
My favorite part of the promotion is that the friends you delete are supposed to be notified that you did this to them. So, Kim should get some kind of email letting her know you like whoppers more than her. I completed the mission too, sending my brother up in flames, but he has yet to be notified.
Yea, B-side, that’s totally why I add them, too.
(Back to feeling pathetic).
And honestly if I was THAT hungry I would just defriend 10 of my best friends and tell them the situation. Did I just rain on the Burger King Parade?
Oh, has anyone gotten the video of the angry Whopper telling them they are annoying and that their jokes suck? Or just me?
I dont get it. Whats wrong with the coupons grammar?
/EdHill
For all the non-dorks out there that don’t pay attention:
The word “it’s” is a contraction for “it is.”
The word “its” is the possessive pronoun (something belonging to “it”).
Go back and read the ad and replace “it’s” with “it is” and you’ll see what people are complaining about.
Hey B-side, check out this post from Eater LA (http://la.eater.com/):
“Whoppers vs. Facebook Friends —For those of you who thought you’d ditch a bunch of Facebook friends (who really weren’t friends anyway) for free Whoppers, you’ve lost your chance, at least for now. A note on the WhopperSacrifice.com page says: “Facebook has disabled Whopper Sacrifice after your love of The Whopper sandwich proved to be stronger than 233,906 friendships.” Facebook says the application is merely being tweaked for privacy reasons”
D’oh!
Nice one, dub…I mean EdHill….
I had the angry whopper to day and I gotta say I liked it, definately better than the steakhouse burger they were promoting before, and this is from someone who doesn’t like burger king.
Looks like you got your coupon (or at least your promise of a coupon) just in time.
Since Facebook told Burger King they wouldn’t allow applications to notify users when they’d been dropped, Burger King gave up the campaign.
