Pretty sure you don’t want to play that in a family diner.
A family from Michigan is seeking answers from Burger King after their children were allegedly subjected to a graphic sex scene playing on one of the restaurant’s TVs.

Burger King has since issued a statement regarding the incident, saying it “does not reflect our brand.”
“We value and encourage a culture of care and respect for all guests,” writes Burger King. “This behavior does not reflect our brand values or the values of the franchisee who independently owns and operates this restaurant. The franchisee is investigating this incident thoroughly.”
Avery, meanwhile, has already filed a police report with the Southgate Police.
