<BR>Reuters is reporting that Burger King has inked a promotional deal with New Line in connection with the release of the first LoTR Movie. Found this in Yahoo! daily news under entertainment. The floor is open for (polite) derogatory comments. Lord of the Onion Rings? <p>--Mithadan--<BR> "The Silmarils with living light<BR> were kindled clear, and waxing bright<BR> shone like stars that in the North<BR> above the reek of earth leap forth." </p>

<BR><br><br> Im sure, if they tried, Outback SteakHouse would cook the best burgers ever. I had some steak there, *drools*, it was so good. Has 17 spices slowly marinated into it.. ahhh why cant everyone make food so nice. <p>"Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them?

<BR><br><br> We only have McD's here and a Greek &quot;competitor&quot; called Goody's so I can't make a comparison with Burger King. (With reference to someone's earlier comment, there really IS a chain called &quot;Wimpy&quot; in the UK!)<br> How about the following marketing idea:<br> FREE RING with every Happy Meal!<br> Collect the entire set of 3 Elven, 7 Dwarven and 9 Mortal! Send them in to our head office and win The One Ring plus an Oroduin cigarette lighter!<br> I wonder how long before someone opens a Middle Earth fast food chain? <p></p>
