When ads go stupid

June 26, 2009 by Brigitte Pellerin 5 Comments

Burger King puts its foot in it. Dumb!

Andrea adds: Your title could have been “When ad companies are run by 16-year-old boys”… Remember when Telus decided they would package porn and make it readily available to their customers? What bothered me was not so much that porn would be available (it already is) but that some group of prepubescent ad execs (and I don’t care how old they actually are) thought this was a good idea.

However, my boycott of Burger King will have little effect–I’ve never eaten there in my life. Apparently with good reason.

Tanya adds, regarding the boycott: Don’t panic!  The veggie burger at Harvey’s is just as good AND you get to pick your toppings.  I know you were all worried ’bout that.

    I’ve never eaten there, either. I plan to continue my boycott, as well.

    Just shameful. A boycott sounds like a good idea to me.

    I’m not exactly sure which demographic they’re trying to attract with this, but as a straight male, this doesn’t really make me rush out and go to Burger King. It’s kind of creepy, actually.
