Burger King's BK Homecoming Meal.

Will you go to ... Burger King with me?

The fast food joint is celebrating teenagers attending high school homecoming dances by offering the BK Homecoming Meal.

The back-to-school special comes with two Whopper Jr. sandwiches, two milkshakes, one small order of onion rings, one small order of French fries, and two paper crowns for $10. So even if you don’t win homecoming king and queen, you’ll get a crown either way.

1. I think many HS teens will take them up on this offer.

4. I'd think so. It's homecoming not prom. I think it's a great marketing campaign

2. This is Texas small town. They'll be stopping at "the Texas Stop Sign" ...

[cloudbase]

8. Either there or Whataburger.

3. Sweet

Glad they don't have an upsize version for Republicans

5. Brooks would like a dozen shots of bourbon with that.

7. That's just it!

So blatantly dishonest on his part

6. Poor Dave Brooks

He just wanted to justify drinking himself into a stupor as and expense to accounting. I mean, it's unjust, he lies to support lying liars all the time and this one just had to blow up on him. If there was any justice in the world then Dave Brooks would have been safe since he would have been writing lies to eliminate that last shred of justice and not something that could be examined as evidence.

9. Let's just say that his judgment was clouded

By the three double bourbons that added $60 to his tab. What a wanker.
