« Zizek on German Toilets | Main | Manners in 1982 »
Over at Riesenmaschine, Holm Friebe has beat me (G) to the mockery of the new Burger King "Angry Whopper" with "Angry Onions" and "Angry Jalapenos."
We can all puzzle over what Burger King is trying to achieve here. My guess is it's some sort of attempt to draw attention to the burger's spiciness. What makes it especially mystifying is that the phrase "Angry Onions" in German is even more amusing than its English counterpart: Zornige Zwiebeln.

Zbigniew Herbert: Barbarian In The Garden
The Polish poet travels through Western Europe in the early 1960s. He's got no money, no guarantee he'll be let back into his country, and a prodigious knowledge of European history. "If the gods protect one from organized tours (through insufficient funds or strong character), one should spend the first few hours in a new city following a simple rule: straight ahead, third left, straight ahead, third right. One can follow the curve of a sickle.... I have been walking for over an hour without coming across an historical monument."
As it happens, I´ve seen this advertising some time ago and am still trying to figure it out. but Scott has given an answer I can live with... Actually, it´s like that one from Mp3.com for Stefan Gwildis (Who?). Even a friend of mine, who is not good in understanding English got these two. Or better, does not get them...

Wütende Whopper is not so bad either.
