A Whopper of an ad
I mean, I just don't even know how to respond to this disgusting, misogynistic Burger King ad.
Maybe you have some choice words?
Oh, this one is charming, too.

GROSSSSSSS.
how insulting! BOTH OF THEM.
are these real ads? i know there's underlying sexism in a lot of advertising...but this seems too obvious to slip under the radar (is there a radar anymore?).
Ew. That can't be serious. What company would actually think that either of those ads would attract customers? I never liked Burger King anyway. Nutritional nightmares aside, I ordered a breakfast sandwhich once there and it was still frozen in the center. I've never gone back.
Well I think they pretty much answered the first ad you posted (After the bar, treat whatsherface to a burger) with their second one (If you can't sleep, pleasure yourself) because if you can't even remember her name you certainly will be going home with just your hand (to paraphrase Pink).
BK is sick anyhow. Who IDs their core demographic as "Pimps, Hookers and Drug Dealers"? They might as well post a sign "Come on in, the cash register's open all night."
Ew. Ick!
Unrelated question for the locker room etiquette queen-I've started working out in the morning, so this requires putting on makeup afterwards in the locker room. I noticed a couple stray eyebrow hairs that needed plucking this morning. Can I do that in the locker room or wait until I get home?
Happy Friday!
Kim - I too thought "This can't be real!" But I went to the ad company's web site (they're based in Canada) and found Burger King on their client list, along with a crazy ad of two cows getting their freak on, resulting in...wait...wait... "The Whopper Jr."
Maggie - considering some women pick their toenail polish off while sitting naked on the floor (and others do Pilates naked, as Jamie observed and wrote about in my "Dear Man..." post, I think plucking a few eyebrow hairs is completely and utterly acceptable. Go for it!
