Sexy Burger King Ad

Postby Rhodmhire » Tue Jun 30, 2009 10:44 am

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,529576,00.html

Okay, being a man who's more concerned about the fate of my country than mere televised media...I'm torn on this. The man side of me just thinks this is hilarious...and other things. But the rational political side of me could just care less.

I hate conflict.

Obviously I'm just throwing this out there to see the community's views on it--but personally, I could care less. This is certainly to attract men--big, fat men--who love women and burgers--or at least an attempt to do so; no offense to you big guys out there, I still love ya.

But again, are they serious with this? I wouldn't think Burger King would be that...desperate to go into sexual ads, I mean come on I'm assuming a large sum of their consumers are what...under 17 probably, most commercials I see for Burger King and McDonald's are aimed at teens and kids anyways. I mean this one obviously wasn't aimed at them, but I think it might have been a bad move for a buisness with a large, large amount of consumers who aren't adults.

So, do you give a damn? Do you think this is okay? Do you think they have the right to air this?

Or are you like me--more worried about cap and trade, immense government expansion and spending, conflicts in Iran, and the seemingly inevitable demise of America--and possibly the entire planet--opposed to sexual burger ads?

Nah..you can laugh, I laughed to no end just by seeing the thumbnail for the article--let alone knowing how serious people were about it. :rofl:

I doubt many women will consider ever eating at BK if they see this commercial. :)

Is there some innuendo laden video of this ad? Because the picture ad is pretty damn tame.

how many times have you seen women in sexually suggestive pictures protesting in Iran?

*actualy reads linked article* It's not a commercial, it's a print ad. In Singapore, not Europe or the US. *thinks BK is getting more pub from the fluff about it than the ad itself*

I've done some looking around Youtube and online--I'm only seeing the poster. I think it's a paper ad, but it may be a commercial--I can't assume anything at this point.

I'll provide a link to the commercial if I find out there's a commercial version.

I'm going to take a risk and make the assumption that women would see this ad and think that BK utilized a woman in an offensive way, thus making them unsupportive of the company.

But I think many women are stronger than that.

So they don't order that specific sandwich if that isn't what they want, or if they have issues ordering it...that doesn't mean they never return to BK. Not to mention, Ash's comment was related to the advertisement, not the sandwich itself. The sandwich itself is no different than going to subway and ordering...well...anything.
