‘Pretty’ Cross Dresser Robs BK
A man robbed a New Orleans area Burger King last week while in drag. A local TV crime and safety expert, Howard Robertson, finds the robber quite fetching.
Robertson said the thief is probably a genuine cross-dresser because his necklace matched the dress, his nails appeared to be painted and the wig was well made.
“Most of the time when somebody puts on a wig they’re just trying to hide their identity by putting on something like a Halloween mask, but he’s pretty,” Robertson said.

This Week in Bacon
A Burger King customer recently ordered extra bacon–none of it from a sheep–on their Whopper with Cheese Value Meal.
Sixty slices of it.
And then a Bacon Double Melt Value Meal for, I guess, dessert.
Yikes.

UK BK Flirts with £85 Foie Burger
Best done in the voice of that movie voiceover guy…
In a land ruled by a queen… an upstart king tries to lure customers with a golden goose… against the wishes of a ninny prince… and PETA… and some other, lesser-known group of anti-humans…
This summer, it’s Burger King: Home of the Foie-pper Gras-pper .
