Burger King Killed In Coup
Burger (FN) - Prince Franz Joseph Augustus Whopper, known to fast-food lovers world-wide as the iconic head of the Burger King franchise, was deposed and killed today in a bloody coup that left over 60 dead, including 16 members of the royal family and 45 court officials.

Reports suggest that gunfire erupted in the tiny principality of Burger at approximately 10 a.m. GMT. In a macabre scene reminiscent of the fall of the Ceauşescu regime in Romania, Whopper and the entire royal family were publicly executed by being dipped in oil and burnt alive over an open flame.
"At least he died like a Whopper," remarked an onlooker.
The prince's grisly end came after several years during which he resisted calls for democratic reforms. Palace officials routinely dismissed popular dissent as the work of "Scottish agitators."
Johann Shakes-A-Lot, self-proclaimed President-for-Life of the newly declared People's Republic of Burger, promised a more disciplined and wholesome government than had been seen under the prince's libertine regime.

"From now on, you have to take the pickles and lettuce. You can no longer have it your way," said Shakes-A-Lot.

Will it be an open or closed casquet?
