I heard PETA was filing a lawsuit against Burger King because of this.
 
"splits" and "handstand" and "punch yourself in the face" are pretty funny :)
 
Is that for real? There is really a guy taking those orders, or is it some type of trick?
 
No, it's all pre-recorded. You can see the motions are all very similar, and he always returns to the same basic standing pose.

I'm guessing they just search for keywords, and have a huge database of actions.
