Burger King overthrown in Nepal

Hundreds of thousands of protesters flame-broiled an effigy
of the mystical, magical Burger King to celebrate the overthrow
of their nation’s embattled monarch.

The demonstrators pressured the King into handing power back
to parliament, but say his action does not resolves their
beef and fails to satisfy their appetite for regime change
with fries. They claim His Majesty — who is derisively called
"Murder King" by People for the Ethical Treatment
of Animals — is guilty of political and nutritional oppression.

Demonstrators in the capital of Kathmandu chanted, "The
King has blood on his hands!" But royal press secretary
Angus Steakburger said forensic testing confirmed that was
actually just ketchup.

A recent approval rating poll revealed that 76 percent of
the Himalayan kingdom’s 27 million residents find the King
"creepy." Another 62 percent said they or a family
member had been hospitalized after consuming a Meatnormous
Breakfast Sandwich.

Deposed Burger King spokeslut Paris Hilton could not be reached
for comment.
