so my wife and i were watching tv after a long day and as we were waiting for the commercials to come to an end, Burger King's newest commercial came on and there was the king with a bunch of booty poppers. for those of you who don't know what booty poppers are, they are girls in tiny shorts or tight jeans shaking their butts. now, i understand it was supposed to be a parody of sir mix-a-lot's song "i like big butts" and i know it was about sponge bob square pants. however, does a 5 year old need to see this?! i'm not so much outraged as i am concerned that such a suggestive ad would be used to entice our children. don't we have enough sexual inuendos in advertising for adults? and doesn't "teen" shows allude to sex enough because the actors are in their 20s and not 15 like they are portrayed? so now we've got to target the pre-teen stages with sex...wow!
what next?! handy manny will be makin' out on tv with a girl? or maybe a show where dora the explorer finds out she's gay! where does it end?! don't get me wrong, i have friends who are gay and though i don't approve of the lifestyle, it doesn't mean they aren't people either.

I've signed a petition against the commercial a couple weeks ago and am not eating there (because they have gross food, is one reason), but this made my decision for me. If you want to join in the protest, go to OneMillionMoms.com and get on their mailing list. At last I heard, Burger King is refusing to remove the commercial.
ReplyDeletethanks! i will definitely check that out. i agree that their food is terrible as well, but the commercial is a deal sealer.
