The Whopper. An American Favorite. A tasty flame broiled delight. A raving hypocrite. If you have seen the new commercials on TV where an "all grown up Whopper" lectures his son, Whopper Jr. on selling himself for such a cheap price, 1 dollar, you know what I'm taking about. I'm not trying to butt into the hierarchy of the burger family structure, but I just thought I'd point out one thing.
When I was a kid we used to go to Burger King all the time and enjoy a full family meal for around 10 bucks. How was that possible? Because the high and mighty, too hot for his own pants, would never sell himself for such a low price con artist, used to only cost 99 cents.
I might be treading on sensitive territory here. I'm sure Burger King doesn't want the American public to know that just a short time ago you could purchase the full Whopper for only 99 cents, but now you have to settle for Jr at the same price.
Either way, Father Whopper needs to remember how it was to be young, dumb, and full of flame broiled goodness just waiting to get out. Whopper: Cut the kid some slack, he's just following in your footsteps. You should be proud. And bring that XL burger you have in England over here to the U.S. Quit hoarding.

My friend and I were recently discussing about how involved with technology our daily lives have become. Reading this post makes me think back to that debate we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as technology further innovates, the possibility of transferring our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I daydream about all the time.
