No one has the right to question Global Warming!

They can’t order him to take down the signs, but I’d bet they can terminate the franchise agreement. The manager should decide if he wants that sign to be the ONLY thing left on his property.

Not necessarily. A franchise agreement is a contract, and if it says nothing about extra signs....

I drive by one of the Memphis BKs each day on the way to work. The first time I saw the sign, it cracked me up. BK food doesn’t have much taste to it IMHO, but I’ve made it a point to stop in and buy some breakfasts anyway just to support the franchise owner.

Not necessarily. A franchise agreement is a contract, and if it says nothing about extra signs.... You're correct, but I would expect a clause concerning the display or dissemination of messages not approved by BK corporate.
For better or worse, messages posted at a franchise will be PERCEIVED as coming from the Franchisor (Burger King), and they have the right to have a say in that situation, IMO.

How about taking a pic?

I always find it amusing how in the face of so called "Climate Change" that instead of preparing for the change in climate, the whole world is attempting to change the climate!
Kinda like in the wake of an erupting volcano the people of the village spend all of their time and resources trying to plug the volcano instead of evacuating and fleeing the lava flows.
We have chosen the futile path, instead of the path of survival.

From now on, I will eat at no Burger King, save for the ones in the Memphis area.

If Burger King has a problem with the signs, then they should prove that Global Warming (PeaceBeUponGlobalWarming) is a scientific fact.
Those signs make me want to go to BK a lot more than that Burger King freak in their commercials.

Yep.
Run a business or run a blog.
Don’t try to mix the two.
Burger King appears to be well within their right to restrict public statements of their franchise outlets.

I’d be incredibly surprised if those franchise contracts don’t contain explicit language about the use and image of those outlets. When a company sells a franchise, they’re really selling the IMAGE. As such, they go to great length lengths (as expected) to protect that image.

Very true.
If we could affect the climate, we’d already have a fully functional Cheney-Halliburton “Weather Dominator”.
Cooooobrraaaaaaa!!!!!
