Did you know that Burger King is now owned by a Brazilian company? Their chief exec., Bernardo Hees, is a Brazilian
"Burger King's global boss was facing criticism yesterday after he said that British women were "unattractive" and that English food was "terrible".
Bernardo Hees, 41, who became the fast food chain's chief executive in September, made the unguarded remarks while addressing a group of students at the University of Chicago.
Mr Hees recalled that while studying for an MBA at England's University of Warwick, the hard work he put into his studies was easy because there were a few distractions. "The food is terrible, and the women are not very attractive (in England)," he said.
"Here in Chicago, the food is good, and you are known for good-looking women," he was quoted as saying in the Chicago Maroon, the University of Chicago's student newspaper.
Mr Hees' comments quickly drew condemnation from British restaurant chefs and female students.

In my experience, his comments about British food are spot on. It's hard to believe how bad British food can sometimes be.

Douglas Adams on British Food:
It is by eating sandwiches in pubs at Saturday lunchtime that the British seek to atone for whatever their national sins have been. They’re not altogether clear what those sins are, and don’t want to know either. Sins are not the sort of things one wants to know about. But whatever sins there are are amply atoned for by the sandwiches they make themselves eat.
If there’s anything worse than the sandwiches, it is the sausages which sit next to them. Joyless tubes, full of gristle, floating in a sea of something hot and sad, stuck with a plastic pin in the shape of a chef’s hat: a memorial, one feels, for some chef who hated the world, and died, forgotten and alone among his cats on a back stair in Stepney.
The sausages are for the ones who know what their sins are and wish to atone for something specific. - So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
Yeah, and their women don't taste much better! Go to Brazil instead.
Sarah and Todd are sitting on the couch watching TV when the news comes on. The announcer says, "We have terrible news this even. 2 Brazilian people died in a plane crash."
Immediately after hearing this Sarah starts balling.Todd responds by telling her that they knew the risks when they signed up for it. And she reply, "No no no, how many is a Brazilian?"
"I like my ladies to be pasty white."
Of course you do. Too bad the ladies do not like you.
LOL - the owner of a chain of mediocre fast food outlets has the gall to complain about cuisine?

Well, let's face it....British food IS that bad.....
Yeah, and their women suck too!
Um,... actually, that should read, "they don't"...
Yeah rite, I guess all or even nearly all restaurants throughout the whole UK have a similar menu of a similar standard. Some of those reports seem to suggest the critics only ate in pubs or cafeterias, or maybe cheap cafés.
People see what their preconceptions expect - it's called "confirmation bias". A very common fault with tourists and travelers.
And Brazilian girls are smoking hot! Compared to Britich girls the Brazilians win pretty much hands down.
(P.S.-This does NOT apply to Irish girls. Ever. Love my red haired Irish girls no matter where you are)
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" - so the biased brazilian should have stayed at home or shown more interest in the place where he studied. It is rightly said that bored people are themselves boring.
THERE ONCE WAS A MAN FROM BRAZIL,WHOS CRIES WERE STRIDENT AND SHRILL,WE VOTED WITH SONS,TO KEEP ALL OUR GUNS,AND THE CRITIC WERE ALL SUDDENLY STILL
