Anyone else been following the Gourmet Burger Kitchen SCANDAL OF THE CENTURY?

Basically a Burger restaurant made some ads, a few vocal vegans/vagitarians got offended and now they've issued an apology:

>We've been reading the reaction to our latest advertising campaign and needless to say, we're quite taken aback. The last thing we ever intended to do was offend or alienate vegetarians. The same vegetarians that we've looked after and fed since our very first restaurant. Our intentions were light-hearted and not meant to cause any offence, but clearly we have, and for that we apologise.

>While we've served beef at the core of our menu since 2001, we've always catered well to the veggies out there, and that's never going to change.

>So having read all your comments and messages, we've made the decision to take down some of the adverts. We'll still serve beef. We'll still serve veggie burgers. But hopefully we'll not tread on anyone's toes while doing it. Best, GBK.

Yup. The only time you need to apologize is if your did something legitimately wrong. Not sticking to your guns and telling people to fuck off and die is ultimate beta.

What a fucking pussy world we live in nowadays. There is nothing better than calling someone out for something stupid or embarrassing and seeing their shocked face because nobody calls a spade a spade and everyone is so worried about muh feelings! Feels good to be a man's man in this pussified world.

know the worst part too? they would probably drum up even more business for standing by the campaign.
the vegetarians aren't going to make a destination of a burger place, ever, best case scenario they tag along and maybe buy something.
But making fun of vegetarians will attract a lot of normal people because its funny

this is LITERALLY why donald trump is successful. he says something offensive, people get mad, he could be totally wrong but still says "no, fuck you, I'm in charge here" and people love him for it
the only people that arent going to vote for him are people that wouldnt vote for a republican regardless

Sure they will.

Just to bitch and whine because there aren't any fucking "vegetarian" dishes on the menu.

Let's face it, having a veggie option or two on the menu can be good for business. When people go out in groups they tend to look for a place that can accommodate everyone in that group. And it's not like vegetarians are going to be any less common in the future. Even Papaya King, a NYC mini-chain selling hot dogs and fruit drinks offers a veggie hot dog. I don't think they do it because people whined about it. They do it because it's good for business, even if they have to write smirking copy about it:

"While The King doesn't understand all his guests, he respects all his guests. Even vegetarians. With all the same toppings you get almost all the deliciousness of The King's Classic frank (c'mon, get real, it can't be as good as meat) and you get to feel good about yourself."
>>
>>7285280
Eh it's only marketing to people who eat meat who are bitter towards vegans/vegetarians. Either jokingly or not, there's an us-vs-them between meat eaters and vegheads, which would be used for advertising by both parties.
It's the same as vegetarian places advertising something by saying "Don't want your stomach to be a graveyard" and having a picture of a fat person eating a burger, meat eaters would bitch about it as well.
If something isn't advertised to you what is the point in throwing a tantrum about it
>>
>>7286026
the difference is the vegetarian place would go out of business if they did that, because there aren't enough vegetarians to survive on vegetarians alone, you need regular people to eat there too.

burger places don't need vegetarians to eat there to turn a profit.

Real life example, there was a vegetarian take out place that opened right next to a really popular bar where all the hipsters would hang out. Literally couldn't have a better location for a restaurant, and they were the only vegetarian restaurant in the area
but they were also really cunty about it and closed inside of 6 months
>>
>>7285985
>Let's face it, having a veggie option or two on the menu can be good for business.

First, NYC is filled with faggotry and leftists that shit on normal people every chance they get.

Second, normal places already have "veggie" options, they're called salads, and sides.

Do vagitarian places have a few meat items on the menu in case they get normal people? Doubt it. I wouldn't either.

>>
>>7286059
it wasn't poorly judged, the vegetarians are not their target demographic. That kind of marketing has been proven to work on the type of people who patronize that type of restaurant.
making fun of veggies isn't some kind of radical new idea, its a comedy staple.
>>
>>7285280
Vegan here; GBK did nothing wrong and they should have told those pussies to fuck off.

Advertisements are meant to be memorable and inspire the person to buy their product, this ad implies that being vegetarian is useless in the face of a delicious burger, it's humorous and to the point whilst resonating with people who eat meat because it's delicious: it's a good advert.

You don't see omnivores getting their panties in a twist when I wear this shirt, jesus.
>>
I've eaten the vegetarian bean burgers at GBK, they're pretty good and I would recommend them to people who eat meat.

My fucking sister on the other hand refused to go into the restaurant because she would be sitting near meat, it's just dead lumps of animal for christ sakes.
>>
>>7286051
>Do vagitarian places have a few meat items on the menu in case they get normal people?
You won't find meat at most vegetarian and vegan restaurants, the same way you won't find pork at a kosher or halal place. But over the last few years I've seen more and more places that aren't explicitly vegetarian, but feature mostly vegetarian dishes and just a few token meat dishes. Some of these places are very popular, like Fat Radish, El Rey Coffee Bar and Dimes.

This trend is only going to continue, so expect places like this to start opening up in backwaters five years from now.

>it wasn't poorly judged, the vegetarians are not their target demographic.

yes they almost certainly are. gbk have always had at least a couple of vegetarian options, they wouldnt provide a choice if vegetarians didn't go there. and even if they were a small subset, alienating them is still a bad idea that gbk clearly wants to avoid.

Surely if Trump was a "community organizer", instead of a billionaire businessman, he would be more qualified.

Face it, qualifications don't mean a g'damn thing in a U.S. presidential election, as it's all about popularity and "dem programs" to the average retarded U.S. voter. U.S. elections are no fucking different than any given high school student body election, and that's why our country is so deep in the shitter.

Trump would be a diplomatic nightmare and destructive to the economy. The man only cares about one thing: Trump. Being an entertaining asshole who ruins the country is not going to do a thing to harden people who are overly PC.
He doesn't seem to realise that America is totally fucked without its international ties. Strong-arming everyone you deal with and bribing people left and right may work great when you are building hotels, casinos and golf resorts, but it's useless when you are trying to maintain an economy that is completely dependent on trade with Asia and Europe.

Agreed.
I'm an omnivore, but I like eating vegetable based foods sometimes. Very rarely do vegetarian or vegan restaurants stay in business around here. Not because there's no market for it, but for the reason you stated, they're run by flighty, feckless hippies and do-gooders who can't hold it together. There's only two that have survived more than a year here. One, is a sort of vegetarian fast food place that serves nut burgers and falafel and veggie sandwiches, that's been around since the 1970s, and the other is a vegetarian Indian place that's been here since the 1990s. Plenty of others have tried, and fucking failed hard.

You are going to fucking fail in a business that relies on casting the widest net possible whilst having niche audience, a vegetarian/vegan restaurant that stigmatises meat eaters or is run by slack jawed retards will bleed like black pudding.

Sure, there's plenty of idiots here, but that's true of anywhere, any site, when you take into account the percentage of population involved. There's also highly intelligent people, people of average intelligence, and people who are so intelligent that they seem insane.

You were the one who brought up the distinction between "normal people and stupid snowflakes". It seemed particularly childish, so I figured I'd hold you to it.
>>
>>7286964
Because "stupid snowflakes" (for lack of a less long-winded explanation of their mental illness) aren't within the realm of normal behaviors. We as a society have been forced, mainly by the media, to accept behavior aberrations that are by any definition not within normal boundaries as "normal", which has caused more problems than anything else in the past 30 years besides rampant drug (both legal and illegal) abuse, the deterioration of our public school systems, and outsourcing.
And, if we elect a raging megalomaniac into office (which is most of the candidates in question) we will actually get to witness our society's own version of Nero fiddling while Rome burned, because NONE of them care about the horrendous state of the mental healthcare system in this country, of which most sjws, snowflakes, and a multitude of others need to benefit from.

Found the vegan.

If you had only left out the word "ethical", your post MAY have been viable.
There's plenty of meat, fish, eggs, and dairy that are available from ethically sound sources, so that doesn't hold water.
And really, if you want to nitpick, the health argument doesn't hold water either, since you can have a perfectly healthy and long life taking an omnivorous diet as well.
The environmental reasons are fairly sound, but that's erring on the side of caution, not complete and undeniable proof.

You seem to think "ethical" is an objective determination meaning what you in particular deem ethical, rather than a subjective evaluation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetarianism_and_religion
but there are religious beliefs that have people be vegetarian

also, you can't chose to or not to be allergic to meat (or chose or not chose to have all the detrimental health effects from it) but you can chose which idol you worship. If anything it should be even more offensive because of that.

He's not strong-arming everyone you enormous vagina. Dude is showing some balls for once. America used to be a source of pride, strength, and power in this world. We are a laughing stock getting passed by by other global powers who have the gumption to be aggressive and make moves that need to be made.

The dude has hotels all over the world, has a fantastic business acumen and a wildly talented team who works on an international scale constantly. We don't need another lifelong politician who has zero experience in the real world with the exception of pandering to their constituents. It's only a small part of what we need in this country. Treat the USA like a business and watch us flourish. You want real change like our fuhrer Obama promised? Then change the type of candidate you elect. You think lifelong bullshitting, lying politicians like Jeb, Hilary, or Bernie will do anything differently? Nope, it'll be the same shit, different 4 or 8 years.

>allergic to meat

Are you implying that all vegetarians/vegans are allergic to meat? Where the fuck is that coming from? No one would be upset with someone because of their allergies, but they have to be REAL allergies. Unless someone has been through a battery of allergy testing done by an actual M.D., they can fuck off. I've known too many people who fake having allergies because they're either picky bitches or fucking weirdos.

>The dude has hotels all over the world, has a fantastic business acumen and a wildly talented team who works on an international scale constantly.

He also has entire countries who hate him, and he's not even in a seat of political power yet. That does not bode well for our future if he is elected. Also, his business strategies are based on bullying, harassment, and deception. We don't need that in the White House, we've already had too much of that bullshit.
>>
>>7287229
This isn't a fucking kumbayah circle man. We have countries who hate us now. It's Murrica, countries are gonna hate us, whether it's justified or not.

I'll go Churchill on your ass, "You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life."

I'm not 100% all in on Trump, but I believe he can improve this country more than any of the other candidates. You'll never get a perfect one, it's about lesser of evils unfortunately. Give me someone who won't back down and isn't going to bow to the lib media and toe the politically correct line. Calling a spade a spade and actually addressing this country's problems instead of beating around the bush is the best way to see improvement.

But that's how it works. Society is always a work in progress. Different causes define different eras. You can choose which side of history you want to be on when things are changing around you. I do not choose to be a modern day Archie Bunker, but you can if you want to.
>>
>>7287245
If you can't stand up for your beliefs without making the world hate you, then you're not only a pig, but an ignorant and poor excuse for a human being.
Everyone has made enemies in life at some point when standing up for what they believe in. That doesn't mean that should be THE NORM.

That said, I agree that we need someone who as you said
>Give me someone who won't back down and isn't going to bow to the lib media and toe the politically correct line. Calling a spade a spade and actually addressing this country's problems instead of beating around the bush is the best way to see improvement.

I just don't believe that person is Trump. I think he will do more harm than good.
>>
>>7287274
Fair enough, agree to disagree. I just don't know where you get that the entire world hates Trump? I mean I get the media says that, but he's kinda their antithesis. Either way, cheers and hopefully the country improves regardless of who is elected.

I'm done shitting up the /ck/ board, sorry all.

Nooooo, you want to be on the side of history that looks back and says "oh god, we never should have done that". Because that's what happens when you are overly liberal and accept everything that comes down the turnpike.

This is great advertising. Initially burger people see it and laugh and the company makes an impression on them
Most veges laugh too but some cause a big fuss and get the ad pulled

They should do a ducking muslim one next

To me most of the mistakes come from fostering divisiveness along racial, religious, ethnic or even gender lines.
>>
>>7287208
Real estate development is not even slightly similar to national economics. Trump had contacts and a million dollars from his father before he lifted a finger. Money breeds money, and if you are a huge bully with a sharp, deceptive mind and not a single thought spent on ethics, there is no better place than the USA to do business. Building hotels, casinos and golf resorts is also the perfect line of work for such a man, second only to investment banking.
Nothing in his career has required true diplomacy or innovation. He hasn't created anything new. He hasn't led a market or had to shift focus to keep up with changing demand or competition.
A country's economy can never be handled as simply as a business. In an increasingly developed and interconnected world, that is more true than ever before.

Makes sense.

differences are what make us unique and interesting as a species. People are not supposed to be all alike or all THINK alike. You are fostering a society of stagnation. You think it's allowing for everyone to "do their own thing" and be accepted for it, but it's really FORCING everyone into the same mold "or else". You might as well put on a brown shirt, bitch.

Do you know what you call it when "Archie Bunker" doesn't exist in any given society?

Fascist totalitarianism.

That's exactly where this nation is heading, and you morons don't even realize it because you believe the leftists are on your "side".

"Political correctness" is nothing more than a direct attack on free speech, and once the morons are used to that, then they extend it to ANY fucking criticism of government policy. Talk bad about the "gubmint", and your fucking leftist neighbor calls the cops, and you get dragged off for leftist "re-education". Fight back? With what, by then the leftists will have taken away your right to arm yourself.

That's where this nation is heading, anon, just like Stalinist Russia, NAZI Germany, Cuba, and Khmer Rouge Cambodia, and the end result will be just as bloody.
>>
>>7287425
Political correctness is a term coined by the right to express outrage at colleges in the 90's disallowing expressions of discrimination based on race and sexual orientation. Complaining about political correctness is code for being angry that you can't say racist, sexist or homophobic things without any consequences, like you could in the 1970's.

These are people who are mad society is moving away from the straight white male occupying a position of privilege.

As a middle aged straight white male I've already enjoyed my privilege. I don't feel any compelling reason to extend it to the next generation of straight white men. Fuck them.
>>
>>7287479
you're retarded. Political correctness is making a statement that contradicts reality for the sake of not offending anyone.
>>
>>7287486
It was coined by the right as a put down of what they saw as overreaching campus codes at Midwest colleges in the early 90's.
>>
>>7287479
>Complaining about political correctness is code for being angry that you can't say racist, sexist or homophobic things without any consequences, like you could in the 1970's.

You just don't get it, do you precious?

It doesn't matter WHO you think you are protecting. When you attack free speech, you are attacking ALL free speech.

Including the RIGHT to say that Bush was a coked out incompetent shithead.
Or that Obama is a dumb fucking nigger being used by leftists to forward their agenda.
Or that citizens should NOT be fucking stopped for no reason on the streets of NYC and be searched by cops.

They're training you, you dumb fuck.

You morons just think it's about "curtailing" white male "privelage", but you're just useful idiots working for fascists who will send you to the camps just as fast as they'd send the white males when you step out of line.

Wake the fuck up.
>>
>>7287411
They do though
Meat eaters tend to justify their holier than thou attitude as "vegans think they're better and guilt me" when chances are they saw a post online got butthurt and now act like meat eating is superior because vegans are evil or arrogant
>>
>>7287529
I firmly believe in free speech. But it's not without consequences unless you do it anonymously. Even Ol' Ben Frank knew that. While free speech is a right in the public square it does not apply to the school or the workplace, and never has. And that same freedom gives the media equal freedom to eviscerate you if you say dumb shit, or even smart shit that's out of fashion.
>>
>>7287479
nice b8 m8
>>
>>7287529
You clearly don't understand the concept of free speech. It is a right protected by law, from law. It is not the right to be a piece of shit without societal consequences. Freedom of speech and freedom of choice extend to 'leftists' too, and they will use them to ridicule and battle your idiotic bigotry or simply avoid you entirely.
How exactly is political correctness supposed to lead to fascism? The left wing is generally extremely open about criticism of government and police. The Guardian, a newspaper loathed by many right wingers, is among the greatest opponents of corruption and fascism in the world.
If you bothered studying some of the countries where freedom and democracy are currently under threat, you would find that the fascists' favourite tool is divisive rhetoric and xenophobia. Look at Poland and Russia where fascists have risen to power through religious persecution, racism and homophobia and now seek to control both media and courts.

All you faggots in here complaining about vegetarians sounds like heroin addicts defending their habits. Shut the fuck up. What does GBK matter to you? I'm a strict vegetarian and it's lame that anyone should apologize because some loud mouthed pussies but holy fuck. Do you read what you type?

but that one is true. That is why it so fucking logical to eat cattle. They eat shit we can never turn into energy.

Also, not all soils can fucking grow everything the vegan-diet requires.It is always going to be much cheaper, more elegant and more logical to eat cattle than to grow certain vegan-foods in enviroments were such things woulf be unnatural and impossible to do.

The far left's favorite activity is being offended. They're at their happiest when they're crusading against "oppression". They'll never run out of things to be offended by, either, because just about anything can be construed as prejudice against one's identity if you want it bad enough.

Society needs to realize their true nature and stop trying to accommodate them. When it comes to their games, the only winning move is to not play.

This will go a long ways in getting American politics back on track, too. The minute that we drive out the oversensitive, hypocritical, bigoted babies and their identity politics bullshit is the minute that we can unite against real issues, like corporate corruption.

Oh lawd, your logic is so unbelievably stupid and flawed, you must be a vegan, because you've malnourished your brain so badly, you're mentally ill and borderline retarded.
Every single "stat" you listed can be applied to vegans and vegetarians or ANYONE in the general population. Just because someone doesn't eat meat doesn't mean they eat healthy. I've seen obese vegans munch down on cookies, cakes, chips, and assorted other foods that cause obesity and diabetes, not to mention digestive tract diseases like ulcers, colitis, and hemorrhoids.
You are a fucking idiot and a waste of oxygen (and probably a fat fuck too, since you're so stupid I can see you using deflection constantly).

Sure you do? Guess what? On that logic I can say I know every time I go out, almost every single person is fucking obese. Clearly blowing out your fictional 15 people you know. You're so full of shit. Like I said, defending your glutton for taste and desire makes you look like a junkie.

>B BUT VEGANS EAT CHIPS, I KNOW 15, I COUNTED!!!

Sure you did you fat fuck. If you want to defend the sheer ignorance about how one doesn't need to contribute to suffering, so be it. Indulge yourself in red meats. I'm not here to tell you not to. But you can't sit on your fat ass and tell me I'm wrong for not eating/contributing to the absolutely disgusting animal farming.

No shit. I think about steak and hotdogs every day and how much I'd love to eat one. But I have a thing called a conscience and discipline.
