Am I the only one here who finds BK's "Whopper Virgin" ad campaign repugnant?

Every time I see one of those ads, It makes me really uncomfortable.

1. Nauseating

You're not the only one. The premise of introducing mostly third-world people to American fast food? Completely repulsive.

2. i think they're horrible

i can only imagine how ill those people were after eating that crap. repugnant is a great word for that.

3. No. I find them utterly culturally insensitive. I don't what it is with Burger King,

but every ad campaign they've had since the 80s has been awful.

Either just really bad in design, or with that weird ass freaky King thing that's been around the last couple years, or culturally insensitive, or other badness. I can't remember what it was in the 80s that they did that was awful, but it was.

How can a company consistently put out shitty ad campaigns for 30 years?

6. I thought the ad with Hootie dressed as a cowboy was funny.

I actually did an analysis on that ad regarding Gender Theory for a Comm theory class in college...

7. 80s was Herb who, ironically, was a Whopper virgin

What goes around comes around in bad ad campaigns, too, apparently. http://www.tvacres.com/admascots_herb.htm

9. Herb! That's right! I knew it was awful.

Thanks for the reminder!

That campaign tanked like an anvil in a pool.

4. This is DU. There's no shortage of people to find anything at all repugnant.

Pretty bunnies hopping in a field of daffadils would set someone off. Just watch.

5. This is most certainly true.

And now, someone's going to go off on me making an obscure reference to Martin Luther's Small Catechism.
