I find your lack of taste disturbing

Forgive me for venturing outside the world of sports with this one but I couldn’t resist. Okay, for the release of “Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace” in 3D (you read that correctly), a Belgian fast food chain called Quick is releasing a couple of special burgers. Here they are:

So you have your black bunned burger on the left to honor Darth Vader and your regular bunned burger on the right to honor Jedis who haven’t caved in to the Dark Side of the Force. Let me get this straight: a black bun for Darth Vader was do-able but a green bun for a Yoda burger wasn’t?

You might notice the little chunks poking out of the side of the Jedi Burger. Those would be cheese curds, which of course reminds us all of the little differences between the US and Europe:

Do you remember the sick feeling you had after first seeing “Phantom Menace?” We old farts who loved the series as kids forgot that the movies are just that: kid flicks. That made the new chapters a pretty unbearable viewing experience now that we’re all paying mortgages and doing grown up crap.

But these burgers pretty much reinforce my point. We adults might not find a burger with a jet black bun to be appetizing, but kids will get a kick out of it. Hey, what’s that sound? Oh, it’s a torrent of cash once again flowing in George Lucas’ bank account.
