    Not the later apology. The second of the original tweets.

    Only non-witches get due process.

        Who else thinks BK was trolling?

          I doubt they were trolling, but I'll never believe it wasn't intended as a joke. "Women in the kitchen" ha-ha. Get it?

            I’m curious about the 2nd tweet.

              Where they say they deleted it because of abusive comments?

                  The first tweet was just an attention-grabbing headline for their actual message about gender imbalance among chefs.

                  Anybody offended by it should have been ignored.

                    The second tweet is unavailable, as the original.

                    Here's their twitter page as of now, 8:45 AM CST:

                        Yes. Their Instagram page did the same thing. Bold headline with a footnote at the bottom. Sadly the attention it got was the wrong kind.

                          I thought the purpose of the first tweet was obvious

                          It reminds me of stuff from the Virginia Slims era

                          No big deal

                            I really don't think so. Ten bucks says they knew exactly what they were doing.

                              I can’t imagine the slogan Women Belong in the Kitchen survived a tweet unless they knew exactly what they were doing and depending on the initial reaction what the next steps would be.

                              Perhaps in our new social media world the only bad thing is not being part of conversations. Irrelevance is the worst enemy.

                              Freud said people are only motivated by two things, to seek pleasure or avoid pain. You need to knock people into one of those places or they do nothing- in this case don’t buy your burger.

                                  It's not women who should be mad, it's professional chefs.

                                  I was only joking

                                    Jon: "Anybody offended by it should have been ignored." Oh? Why is that?

                                    George: "Sadly the attention it got was the wrong kind." No, the attention was the right kind. The goddamn message was the wrong kind.

                                    Copper: "No big deal." Good to know, Copper. Probably a lot of people feel that way about golf, too.

                                    Don't worry about it. People will get over it. A woman's anger only matters if there's a shotgun in her hand.

                                          I did, yes. I appreciated it, feeble as it was.

                                          I just wish the mindset that created the headline in the original because humor would go away.
