Burger King: Now Selling Blow Jobs!

I'll let the ad speak for itself.



I'm not a prude by any stretch of the imagination but when a mainstream-Americana company like Burger King chooses to put such a degrading image of women out there as a way to peddle their junk food to the public, I feel the need to say something.

They have the right to be tasteless and sexist... And I have the right to tell them they will not see a dime of my money as long as they are using these types vulgar images and tactics in their advertising.

Please feel free to join me in giving them a piece of my mind if you share my disgust.

Burger King Corporation

For those who are asking below. Why is this ad degrading and sexist in my opinion? In addition to the ham-handed caveman-level subtlety, the woman in the ad is clearly made to look like a blow-up doll.

HT to kirbybruno for locating and posting a link to this article discussing BK's lame advertising tactics in the comments below:

Burger King Blows Its Marketing Wad

In pertinent part:

Burger King's (BKC) increasingly obnoxious attempts to lure young dopes to its horrible food may have gone too far this time. The likely slightly older (but award-winning!) dopes... have come up with a print ad shamelessly evoking oral sex to peddle the "BK Super Seven Incher."

...

Gawker notes that the "only thing this ad is missing is the disclaimer that you'll actually get fewer blowjobs if you eat these sandwiches, but perhaps that's the 'genius' of advertising that we simpletons on the outside just don't get."

This commentary originally appeared on Daily Kos

that model is on her knees, i just know it. I was hoping it was another video like padma's

Whoever made that is getting high-fives.

Gargantutron 06-25-2009 01:38 PM

Wow. There is nothing even subtle about this advertisement. Directed straight at lonely men who have a small penis, or think that anything less than a "seven incher" is less than, um, satisfying.

Pretty damm funny. I guess they blew that one.

Some mayo placed strategically on her chin would have made the ad!

Flint 06-25-2009 02:04 PM

She needs some "special sauce" dripping from... damnit nevermind. LJ: make it so.

What about the two women in the TV commercial that tell Whopper Jr that "he has allot of nice things hanging out 'back there'!" ;)

Im gonna burn in hell a little for this one. Ute, you really should look into those 'spoiler' tags for stuff like this.

Flint 06-25-2009 02:46 PM

Goddang, dude! I thought, maybe a little drip from the corner of the mouth or summat, but, jeez! Nice work. You Peter North'd her.
