Burger King will destroy the ice-cream man
If we didn't know better, we'd swear Burger King was happy about putting ice-cream men out of business. Given the gloomy economic forecast, one would think they'd be more sympathetic to the plight of the small businessman. But then again, this is the company that gave us the Whaler. Clearly, they could give a shit about the rest of us. Thankfully, there's an ice-cream truck working my block about 300 times a day, so the market hasn't bottomed out as much as Burger King would have you think. —Posted by David Kiefaber |

I'm not sure I would have used an Onion article from 1997 as a reference, but I agree that this commercial misses the mark. As a child, the ice cream truck was almost magical. With it's twinkling music and cold treats, it seemed to appear just when you needed it most. Why would you want to destroy that, Burger King? Why?
