Sexy Burger King Ad

[Rhodmhire]

why not...



*pictures the BK mascot also participating in the ad... somehow...*

*gets images*

I don't know if I should be laughing my ass of or just being appauled out of my mind at that.

[Ashmoria]

because its creepy.

So was the Burger King being in some guy's bed with a burger as he wakes up.

aye

do any women ever go to burger king? you really have to ignore the creepy ad campaign.

[Rhodmhire]

I think there are way worse ones from the Netherlands floating around somewhere...

I can't even begin to imagine...

[Saint Johns County]

LOL, I've already been making jokes about the "$5 foot longs". Great innuendo there. And then "have it your way" and "it takes two hands to handle a whopper". Come on people, is it that big a deal? I mean, it's tame enough that, if you know what it's supposed to be showing, you understand it. If you're too young, it just looks like another ad (I was there just a few years ago).

After reading the article, one of the critics said that the cheese was "just a little too white" and that was one of the most suggestive parts. It's honestly not that big a deal. In fact, I know a couple of teenage girls that would most likely get it for the express purpose of trying to be funny. Besides, it's not here in the US. You realize that we're one of the most sensitive countries in the world when it comes to that stuff, yet you can flip on Disney Channel, and there's jokes about sex (yes, actually, there is some innuendo even on Disney Channel, though I'm exaggerating.) In place like Japan, it's normal to lay on your porch in your underwear, etc. We're just... sheltered, so to speak. It's probably not a big deal wherever they're showing it. Sorry for going off on some long tangent.

i suppose its OK as long as you only want men to visit your restaurant.

Why would this stop women from going to BK?

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.

I just don't get how it's offensive...

Do some women give blowjobs? Yes. Do many men enjoy getting blowjobs? Yes. So how is it misogynistic? In the article, they mention that the girl has been retouched to look like a blow up doll...how and why does that matter? Is the use of sex toys when pleasuring oneself suddenly encouraging the subordination of women?

You'd have to extend that to 'Human'. They have some creepy ads. But I'll be damned if they don't make great fries.

[JuNii]

yeah... I can't see women being embarrased to ask that...

well sex on the beach seems to sell well even though every bartender in existence will make the same joke no matter what gender or species you are

I had a woman ask me if I had a "One Hour Orgasm"...

I almost said "I don't really Time it"... when I realized she was asking for the Book (I was working in a bookstore)

I see what you're saying, I agree with you on pretty much all of it.

And it was Singapore where it was shown--it may have been shown in other countries, but I'm absolutely sure Singapore was where it was shown.

[Newmanistan]

People are offended.... by. .... this? Seriously?

It's a legitimate picture of a woman about to bite into a burger with a fair slogan. You (the ppl offended) putting your mind in the gutter when you see the pic is your own damn fault. BK is being creative, sure, to get attention but where I come from this is called marketing.

wait you guys aren't allowed to go round in your underwear? O_o

You'd have to extend that to 'Human'.

nah balls to the blind

yet Ronald McDonald makes better fries and is a clown

But why is it just women is the part I'm stuck on. The King ads are creepy for just about everyone. This is the first one I've seen in a while that isn't creepy...just entertaining and immature.

[JuNii]

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.

yep. except they don't sell a subway sandwich simply called "the foot long" .

kinda like that newscast where the female news caster introduced the weather segment with "So, what happened to those 6 inches you promised me last night" (referring to the weatherman's forcast of 6 inches of snow that never came)...

all totally innocent... yet the laughter from not only her (when she realized what she said) but the rest of the cast, the crew and the greater part of the veiwership was enough to send her blushing off the set for the rest of the broadcast...

It's considered rude. And in some places, I think it's called indecent exposure. I do know it's definitely frowned upon. I can kinda see why, with the highest obesity ratio of any country I can think of, but it's no reason to make it illegal. In fact, kids over here make a big joke of it if they see another person's underwear by accident/ America's weird like that.

because the MEN would proclaim
I GOT 7 INCHES!!!

No...instead they ask "would you like 6" or a full footlong?" Or when ordering, you can say "I'll take 6"."

kinda like that newscast where the female news caster introduced the weather segment with "So, what happened to those 6 inches you promised me last night" (referring to the weatherman's forcast of 6 inches of snow that never came)...

all totally innocent... yet the laughter from not only her (when she realized what she said) but the rest of the cast, the crew and the greater part of the veiwership was enough to send her blushing off the set for the rest of the broadcast...

Again, if they are uncomfortable ordering that sandwich, then they don't have to order it. It isn't as if BK has suddenly stopped producing whoppers or chicken nuggets or fish sandwiches or any dozen other options to eat.

[Parthenon]

I mean come on I'm assuming a large sum of their consumers are what...under 17 probably

Kids have money now? Kids can use the drive thru?

[Secruss]

Only seven inches?

$5 footlooonng.



This ad is... dumb. Next we'll have Jenna Jameson advertising computer monitors or something.

in theory the burger king ad campaign has been targetted toward young men for a long time. that whole creepy big headed burger king character is supposed to appeal to young men for some reason.

i dont understand it. i just accept it as being true--at least that its true that that is what they are trying to do.

yet Ronald McDonald makes better fries and is a clown

hypothesis: everything creepy tastes good

McDonalds fries are limp, not salty enough, and taste like damp paper.

Weird, last time I had McDonald's the fries were very stiff, and salty. Honestly don't care for them.

[JarVik]

Oh so funny,

well its not like she isn't relevant to the product

thats actually how I'd describe burger king fries

must be something to do with location

[JuNii]

why not... she's a very business minded worker.

[Issas]

Frankly I don't see what the problem is. I was expecting something really gross and instead it was just some lame sexual innuendo. The authorities need to stop freaking out lol Yeah it's kinda tasteless but I've seen a lot worse.

[Poliwanacraca]

Eh. It's tacky, but I'm much more offended by the Hardee's "Manly men are horny, incompetent assholes! Eat our burgers!" commercials.
