Burger King, Once Again, Demeans Women For Advertising

June 26, 2009

Burger King continues its streak of objectionable advertising with its latest desperate tactic for selling fast food:

This blatant, demeaning ad is not only filled with gross sexual imagery, but also has text that claims eating a BK Super Seven Incher will “fill your desire for something long [and] juicy” and will make you “yearn for more after you taste the mind blowing burger...” It seems like Burger King, who has also used female objectification to sell burgers to children, continues to sink to new lows in peddling its food at the expense of degrading women. Let Burger King know that this ad is offensive and it should not continue to employ such distasteful tactics to sell its products.
