You Want to What on A Monday Morning?

Getting picked up by smarmy French guys with cheesy pick lines isn’t exactly the thing one really wants to deal with on a Monday morning but, hey, like just about everything else these days, there’s an app for that. And it’s a branded app. Hence, we write about it to fulfill our duty to you loyal readers. Aren’t we special?

So Hardee’s – excuse us – Le Hardee’s is out with Parisian Pick Up Tool, an app for “young hungry guys” which helps them pick up girls, insult their friends and, yes, ask for a discount at Hardee’s…all in French.

Users can select their favorite French mouth image, select a message, and then hold the screen over their mouths to deliver it with a swarthy French accent or in perfect French with subtitles. The app also has coupon that can be used in-store.

We have LA’s 72andSunday to thank for this Monday morning slap in the face.

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
