But shun profane and vain babblings:
for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
2 Timothy 2:16
"Burger
King came under fire during Holy Week after running an ad campaign in
which they used the words of Jesus Christ at the Last Supper to sell
their new vegetarian burger.
“Take all of you and eat of it,” wrote
one ad. “Which doesn’t have meat. 100% vegetarian. 100% flavor. Big
King Vegetable.” Another ad read, “Flesh of my flesh,” with the word
“flesh” crossed out and replaced with “vegetable.” In Spain, the word
“flesh” is synonymous with “meat.”
Burger
King, which is headquartered in Miami, Florida, chose to run an
advertisement campaign in Spain in which they used a spoof of the
Eucharist to sell their vegetarian products, like the “Impossible
Whopper”.

In response to the backlash, Burger King took to Twitter
to apologize for the campaign. “We apologize to all those who have been
offended by our campaign aimed at promoting our vegetable products at
Easter. Our intention has never been to offend anyone and the immediate
withdrawal of the campaign has already been requested,” the company
tweeted in Spanish." Sputnik
