Burger King billboard gets much deserved graffiti

(Were they asking for it or what!?)  Burger King billboard gets diabetes graffiti:  "Someone has graffitied this Burger King billboard in downtown Seattle to transform it into criticism about how sugary fast food contributes to diabetes and the obesity crisis.

The original billboard does that classic advertising trick of getting away with making a joke while still promoting an idea that's not so great for you, which is to eat more deserts at Burger King.

The billboard shows an ice cream cone, a parfait, a milkshake and then a Burger King logo. Underneath the items in progression it says "side," "entree," and "drink." To modify it into a commentary, on the logo, the vandalizer drew a bloated person with a frowny face and x-ed out eyes. Below it they scrawled, "diabetes."

Shredders, Oh man! this last year kicked major ass didn’t it? Don’t you feel like you grew and that the world is this wide open playground just waiting for you to explore all of the possibilities?   Aren’t you proud of yourself?   You really should be, we all should be.   Don’t ever let numbers on a scale or lack of perfection ever discourage you.   You are a winner.   You overcame and you show up.   You are a hero because you took back control.   You put your health, your life and your future in a chokehold and you always win. We do hard things, never afraid, we push back!   Much love and respect Shred Heads. ⚔️   Isn’t the new logo so FIRE? 🔥 !!!!   Yes, we realize it isn’t that much different, but at the same time, for us it represents a vision fulfilled.

Did you forget what it felt like to Come Alive?

You will forget, we always do. That’s a given because that is human nature. We all do it. Predictable behavior.  You will forget how bad off you were.  You will forget how discouraged you were.  You will forget, even if you had not seen any progress whatsoever for years or even decades. Give it 3-4 months and you will forget the gift you gave yourself in ER Shred.  Why do we forget what it was like to feel so bad at one point? We just do. And that’s when we return to the bad stuff that we know we really can’t get away with and that we promised to never return to, not ever again.    Like a dog returning to its vomit.  How do I know? Because I lived it many times. I would get sick from what I was eating and I would end up having to eat anti-acids all the time. When things would get to their worst, I would be forced to turn to a complete 14 day stomach acid medication that would shut down any stomach acid whatsoever. That is so NOT healthy IMO. Man. I can...
