Burger at one point had a half nude women advertising as lettuce‚ mustard and ketchup ran down her body. Now‚ I don’t know about others‚ but to me at my perspective‚ when it comes to a point where a fast food restaurant is advertising themselves or herself with a nude person‚ there is something wrong.
