Burger King says sorry to Hindus

This is a great example of NOT understanding cultural sensitivities, or in this case, probably using the Hindu Goddess to "stand out of the clutter" as we heard on some news clippings.




Hindu's and (Indians) worship their Gods. It doesn't matter where they live -- India, New Zealand, United States of America, Canada....Spain,whichever part of the world, their Gods (our) are very important to them/us.

Now, using a Hindu Goddess to sit on a burger with meat, is not only culturally insensitive, it lacks complete respect for the culture and its target market.And pray, tell me, Burger King, what was the message?? Considering I am reasonably clever, I haven't really got it? What next??

Well, I for one, won't be eating that burger anymore - bugger that!
