The British do not have a sense of humor about themselves — or at least they don├óΓé¼Γäót when Burger King bosses insult the way they look!
Burger King├óΓé¼Γäós chief executive, Bernardo Hess, told a group of American students at the University of Chicago that British women are unattractive and English food is ├óΓé¼┼ôterrible├óΓé¼┬¥ during a seminar. The next day the University├óΓé¼Γäós newspaper reported what he said — and that├óΓé¼Γäós when people got pissed off.
British women called him sexist and their chefs felt they had been unfairly judged.
Burger released an apology on behalf of Hess:
“Mr Hees apologises if his comment has offended anyone. It… was intended as a humorous anecdote to connect with his audience.”
Here├óΓé¼Γäós a piece of advice — don├óΓé¼Γäót insult the citizens of a country that buys your product! Not only is it just rude, but it├óΓé¼Γäós bad for business!
