For just a dollar, US residents can spread Burger King-themed holiday cheer through the mail with these holiday cards that each include a dollar bill, intended to be spent on Burger King's $1 Double Cheeseburger. Considering the cards feature messages like, "People like you make the holiday special to someone, and "It's nearly impossible to put a dollar value on our friendship—but I did it," these cards should only be given to people you sort of care about, or know well enough to joke about sort of caring about them.

And if you want to watch someone "shake her bits to the hits"...

In other recent Burger King news, Burger King in the UK just debuted "The World's First Guilt Free Showercam" at singingintheshower.co.uk to promote their line of breakfast sandwiches. Every morning in December you can watch a shower babe "shake her bits to the hits" (if you're over 18) and...maybe get the urge to eat a breakfast sandwich. Site visitors can vote which song she sings and which food-themed bikini she wears the next day. There's also a contest to win a date with the "shower babe," with runners-up prizes being sets of Burger King-branded "proper man toiletries." Women, no feminine toiletries for you.
