Washington D.C. chain Z Burger has been apologising profusely this week— as has the comms agency it uses run by 23-year-old Michael Valor— after a tweet was sent out stating: “When you say you want a burger and someone says okay lets hit McDonalds.” The message was attached to a photo of US reporter James Foley, seconds before he was beheaded by ISIS in Syria. Beneath this were the words “You disgrace me.” Seriously, guys, this really can’t happen.
