Those poor patrons, all they wanted was a freakin' cheeseburger!


Edit: And there are toys as well? I love the accusations of racism being bandied about in the comments.

Jacob's abs are so hard you could scratch that game piece on them.

VS.


Edward can recite "Romeo and Juliet" by heart.


I gotta say, Team Jacob has the better arguments here. But I'd still rather be Team Chicken Fries.

Yeah, I'd be Team Jacob based on that argument as well. And yay, I can say that without being a pedo now! 8D

Anyone else think the customers have a WTF look on their face during all this? If this was actually spontaneous with real customers, I'm loling so hard right now.

They really ought to have just had the respective teams cat-fighting it out en-masse. This would have provided some actual quality entertainment.

Of course, I think every debate should be decided by dueling, so I might not be the best judge.

Clearly they did not pick real Team Edward fans because they would have used the "Jacob and Bella were JUST BARELY FRIENDS" line, before disembowling any Jacob fan they came across amirite?

This is true. And they would have used the plastic cutlery provided by the establishment in question.

As a side note, they had the mascot--you know, The King, that creepy motherfucker--go out to the premiere site where everyone was camped out for four days to hand out food. A witness (I think she worked nearby) told me that everyone fangirled him and screamed.

That shit ain't right.

Of course, it kept them from eating each other on Day 4, so...

I dunno. Eating each other on Day 4 seems like a meet and just outcome for Twiharding at this level. Especially if there could be video. Or at least a Les Nessman-esque radio voice-over.

I'm the witness and I tried to get video but my crappy ass cell phone wasn't up to the job. *sob* OTOH, seeing it live kind of scarred my psyche, so just as well I don't have video evidence.

Due to the mebarrassment squick comment above, I have refrained from clicking the links.


However, lemme say: this weekend, I went to BK to get a coke and my cup had a play-piece that won me a free double cheeseburger. So I went to redeem it, and can I say I have never felt so embarrassed to be redeeming a fast food coupon like that? I mean, you have to choose either "Edward" or "Jacob" on the scratch-off, and then you have to turn it in. (FWIW, I picked Ed because it was smaller so less to scratch off!)

I'm kind of reluctant to redeem the Free Whopper Jr piece I got from that trip because of the embarrassment of doing anything related to Twilight.

[info]sylvacoer

No, no - free food! That should absolve any embarrassment squick! Tho, if the cashier asked/smirked knowingly, THEN yes, feel the shame.

Mon, Jun. 28th, 2010 11:15 pm (UTC)
[info]keri

But I have a rush of embarrassment anytime I have anything to do with Twilight (such as dutifully cataloguing it at LibraryThing or knowing the names of the characters) and redeeming my free cheeseburger was playing into their Twilight advertisement :(

Pretend you don't know what Twilight is and you picked Edward because it's a better name? Bonus points if you can get the cashier to play horrifying the Twilight noob!

I love how BK is mocking Twilight in their cross-promotional ads for Twilight. Balls, brass balls.

How do the "Twi-hards" find these spots?

I know there's no way that could be real or spontaneous - but then I look at the bewildered faces of the people trying to eat and wonder. If it WAS real, just think how many "piss off and let me eat my meal in peace before I make YOU 'alive forever', OK?" customers they had to go through before finding the ones that would politely listen and smile and nod.

I swear, I would have paid money to see a customer come out of that restaurant, be interviewed by a camera person saying "which one did you pick?" and get the answer "chicken nuggets". I WOULD HAVE PAID GOLD.

Appropriate icon is appropriate.

I thought I heard sirens in the background at the very end, after the one Team Edward lady ran off with the Team Jacob lady's stolen prize, but the audio's pretty bad.

All the same, JEEZ, Twilighters, I know you take your "Team" affiliation seriously, but no need to start claiming you've split into different races over them!
