    The only reason I want to smell a burger is if I'm sinking my teeth into one. Magical beef aroma is cruel and unusual punishment when it doesn't come with said magical beef.

    Now I'm having a little trouble locating what you've suggested, in part I'm sure b/c I overthink things. I use Firefox. On my computer, I have the following: Windows Catalog, Windows Update, Set Program Access and Defaults.


    In which of these am I supposed to be looking?

    @Rooo sez BISH PLZ:
    hmm, try C:\WINNT\system32 and look for something labeled "charmap"
    you may have to be all "SHOW ME THESE HIDDEN FILES, PUTER!" but it should be there...just be careful not to uh...rename/delete anything in that folder.


    but the easy way I found it was just the windows start menu then view all programs..then the accessories part then system tools..but it may be different on your end depending on what your IT monkeys think you should have access to.

    In reply to Burger King Needs To Lose Its Whopper Virginity
    Let me get to the real issue at hand here: Whoppers are totally gross. All that meat, processed cheese, dripping with fat....ewwwwwwwwwww. I mean, I enjoy some McDonald's fries, and a good In n' Out burger, but I grew up with it, and I will still concede that American fast food is, in general, pretty nasty. Hell, I can't even eat a Whopper!


    Personally, I can't imagine someone for whom American cuisine (such as it is) is a completely alien thing, to react in a way other than complete repulsion to a Whopper.


    If these are indeed real-life "whopper virgins," then I can only imagine how many out-takes they have of people taking their first bite and promptly spitting it back out.


    I mean, getting a bunch of people together and making them choose between disgusting over-processed ball of grease #1 and disgusting over-processed ball of grease #2? How is that remotely marketing?

    I think the funniest/stupidest BK commercial is the one where regular folk are tricked into thinking that the chain has discontinued the Whopper. Some of their reactions are worth a thousand lulz. I mean...the world would be a better place without BK and its artery-clogging culinary abominations.
