In #Brazil, #Burger #King says it's doling out "Hangover #Whoppers," using facial recognition to determine whether you had too much to drink last night.

The Brazilian wing of Burger King announced a #surveillance technology marketing stunt this week called the “Hangover Whopper,” celebrating the booze-filled days between Christmas and New Year’s with facial recognition. All you have to do is hold your bleary-eyed visage up to a #camera, and the company says its #face-scanning software will judge how hungover you look and hand out a corresponding coupon. Welcome to the future: a boring #dystopia where the most nightmarish technology is just another cutesy promotional tool.
