Edwards Chooses Fast-Food Joint as Romantic Date
Thursday, July 15, 2004

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - He's worth millions and could afford the fanciest restaurant in town, but Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. John Edwards and his wife celebrate each wedding anniversary at a fast-food joint.

The Edwards' have made a romantic ritual out of toasting their nuptials at food chain Wendy's, a tradition that will continue on their 27th anniversary this year.

"Wendy's, we go to Wendy's for our anniversary," the North Carolina senator told NBC's "Today" show on Thursday.

Ah, Elizabeth Edwards, you lucky lucky lady.

Bullshit, He's just trying to relate to the common man.

[J m HofMarN]

I'm not really sure. The common man dosn't eat at Wendys and there are plenty of ways he could relate to us plebeans WITHOUT scarring his relationship with his wife and having to pull a Clinton on the couch. Maybe they met at a Wendy's or something.

I find it more interesting that K1ng Warren posted this with his Burger King avatar. Intersting point, in my state the buisness name Burger King was already bought out before they got here, so here it is refered to as "Hungry Jacks".

Weird.

Do they still have the whopper?

[A Mighty Pirate]

And what do the commercials for "Hungry Jacks" look like there?

[Rory]

Well, they explain in the article that its some sort of weird, sick tradition. Like they went one year because they were "grungy and aweful" looking, and they just kept coming back.

On a side note, even though I don't go to Wendey's that often, I like it when people relate to me.

[SimeSublime]

Hungry Jacks is exactly the same as Burger King. Even the logo is the same, but the words are simply changed. Whilst in Japan, I went to a Burger King to see. It was weird, but its all the same. Oh, and the cardboard crowns make a lot more sense in Burger King.

[SimeSublime]

And the comercials are generally annoying.

[Just your average movie goer]

Wow! It's called Hungry Jacks because somebody already owned Burger King? All this time, I thought they changed the name just for us Aussies to win us over. Still, it's a great fast food joint. SO MUCH better than McDonalds.

[Slade]

Yeah, Wendys is not for the common man, at least not for another 20 years when Congress has to raise minimum wage before people incite revolts. It's like 4$ for a sandwich over there. It's more for the upper middle class I think.

Hungry Jacks? Wierd...

Although I definately don't see the romance at Wendy's.

"Sir? Can you please stop making out and step to the left? I need to mop this section of floor." And it just has to be said by the janitor from Krusty Burger.

[SimeSublime]

I didn't realise that Hungry Jacks was Australia wide, I thought it was just in WA. You learn something new every day.

just like americas 'people' magazine is actually called 'who' magazine here, ccause there is already a soft core (and i mean soft) porn mag out here called 'people' (they also squeeze in some tabloid, silly stories).

[J m HofMarN]

What an obvious name! What else would be in a porn mag besides peop... PLease don't answer that.

Speaking of such things I want to share a prediction:

You've seen constant advertisements for singles sites. This is a sign of the end. The end of hte internet will come when there is a site for MARRIED PEOPLE LOOKING FOR RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER MARRIED PEOPLE. It will be called a non-singles site. It will come in the year 2035 and signal the rise of the machines.

by the year 2035...

all television will be reality television except for the popular 'nothing but comercials' channel.

all movies will be primarily about products normally seen in the background

the music industry will be reduced to 3 bands:
a boy band called PEPSI
a girl band called diet pepsi
a so called punk-metal-rap band called PEPSI MAX

telephones will be so constantly tied up by telemarketers pushing their products that telemarketing will become the primay and sole function of the international telecumnications networks.

internet will be pure pop-up with 473 adds "popping up" every second.

deleting junk email will become a full time profession, where you hire 3 people around the clock to manually delete all the junk email you get.

George W Bush will still be president, and will "link" New Zealand to 9/11 and be up to attacking them at that stage.

dating will be irrelivent, you will mate with the next person you meet untill they meet someone richer (oh wait that's now)

instead of the average job being 9am to 5pm, it will be 5am to 9pm.

violent rebellion now, or the above existence later....
