Burger King Introduces \u2018Whopper Neutrality\u2019 to Brilliantly Explain Net Neutrality to the Masses: WATCH<\/b>

\"Burger<\/p>\n

Burger King has been turning out some brilliant ads of late. They went viral last year with an ad which highlighted bullying, and now they\u2019ve done it again<\/a> with Net Neutrality.<\/p>\n

In an attempt to explain the unfair and undemocratic concept to the masses, Burger King shot a commercial at a restaurant where they introduced Whopper Neutrality, a system in which customers pay more to get their Whoppers faster.<\/p>\n

Customers were understandably infuriated.<\/p>\n

\"whopper<\/p>\n

\u201cSo you got the slow access Whopper pass,\u201d the worker explains to a customer asking why someone else got their food first.<\/p>\n

To get a Whopper fast, customers were required to pay $26.<\/p>\n

When customers were told that Whoppers were ready and made but they just weren\u2019t able to get them unless they paid more, customers protested: \u201cThis is the worst thing I\u2019ve ever heard of.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, that\u2019s what is set to happen to internet access.<\/p>\n

Good job, Burger King.<\/p>\n

Watch the spot:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The company explained:<\/p>\n

This effort aims to help people understand how the repeal of Net Neutrality will impact their lives. The BURGER KING\u00ae brand believes the Internet should be like the WHOPPER\u00ae sandwich: the same for everyone. \u00a0 Help keep Net Neutrality safe by signing the petition at\u00a0Change.org\/SavetheNet.<\/a><\/p>\n

In a surprisingly effective and moving\u00a0ad\u00a0last year<\/a>, Burger King compared the bullying of a kid in its restaurant to the bullying of a Whopper Jr. to show how important it is to stand up and speak out in a situation where someone is getting bullied.<\/p>\n

In its opening scenario, the ad showed a group of kids pushing around another kid \u2013 destroying his meal, insulting him, while people watched and did nothing.<\/p>\n

In a second scenario, a restaurant employee ridiculously punched a Whopper Jr. which he then wrapped up and gave out to various customers who then came back and \u201cspoke up\u201d for the bullied burger.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s point: 95% of people reported the bullied Whopper Jr. while only 12% spoke up for the bullied kid.<\/p>\n

The company has discovered that highlighting issues that effect people is a great way to get attention.<\/p>\n
