Burger King dropped the burger bomb in Romania, remote thailand village and other virgin territories. Is it a good thing? This campaign is not to combat poverty. It is to make money.
Why go all the way to Thailand when good hmong actors can be found locally? Burger King could find hmong taste testers in Fresno, CA and the Twin Cities. Burger King could even find some Hmong actors, real, ordinary people in Wisconsin, North Carolinas and elsewhere.
It is time to recognize the contributions of Hmong people to this country. You can find many of them in various sectors of the population. Hmong professionals such as doctors, teachers, social workers, artists, and government officials could also participate in the taste testing campaign. They could still give valid opinions on the burger. Why go to a place that is not familiar with the burger war? These people eat good, organic foods. Let's not destroy their taste buds with burgers from America. Hmong in the remote village of Thailand want freedom as well as foods. How many of them are left behind? They need to be reunited with their family members here in the States.
Now Burger King may want to do a video to show their efforts and plight in the remote village of Thailand where these Hmong do not have any rights.
Real monks work for their living. They also work to support each other and others' ministries. That is why we find a lot of monks are getting entrepreneurial by creating multimillion dollar businesses that catch the attention of a lot of people. www.lasermonks.com and www.monkegifts.com are two good examples of great charitable work ideas. The funny thing about these monks' work is that they are not seeking to be rich. On the contrary, they make the money which they turn around to give away to much needy people around the world. As we are about to shop for this holiday season, think about what your dollars can do when you shop at benevolentblends for the coffee afficionados.
Here is what the SFgate site is saying about them, "That model, which LaserMonks characterizes as "commerce with compassion," is also the subject of a recent book, "LaserMonks: The Business Story Nine Hundred Years in the Making," by Sarah Caniglia and Cindy Griffith, who now live at Our Lady of Spring Bank and manage operations for both LaserMonks.com and its two offshoots, BenevolentBlends.com, a coffee retail site, and Monkegifts.com, which sells products (such as Trappistine Creamy Caramels and Holy Hot Chocolate) produced by other monasteries."
