For those of you who think this commercial is acceptable for children…you need parenting lessons.

I completely agree. I do not need to grow thicker skin. This commercial is coming on my television in between cartoons for my 3 young girls to see. And I havent seen the original ending in a long time where Sirmixalot says “Booty is booty” at the end. WTH?? Really? For a kids meal??? We wont be eating burger king anymore.

I called their corporate office (in Florida) and complained about their trashy commercial. I encourage people to do the same if they want the ad off the air.

My sonoe no longer gets his once a week Burger King meal. When he asked my why, I told him the Burger King people expect their customers to accept trash (the ad in question) as acceptable.

Yes, BK has had some good ads, some funny ones, and sone dumb one, but as stated in an earlier reply, having hoochi mamas shake their cans to sell a childs meal?!?!? pathetic. My wife and I are in agreement, no BK for at least 6 months.

Same way I vote with my wallet for other businesses, no newspaper or magazine subscriptions for over 4 years now, due to heavily slanted left wing propoganda portrayed as even handed, liberal views as mainstream, complete lack of unbiased reporting, you all know what I mean.

That is working, the NYT is about to tank, thankfully, as have other liberal rags. I cannot wait until some conservative with $$$ buy some of the defunct or hurting MSM trash, and start giving conservative readers something to consume, I feel they would make a killing.

My real problem with the commercial is the fact that it’s clearly rectangles and not square butts. Imagine the confusion this will cause in all these kids first geometry class. The horror!

I am with you completely. This would not surprize me in any other setting. But endorsing a kids cartoon? Who are the kid meals for and who does the commercials draw the attention of? Would we apreciate it if Ronald McDonald was getting a lap dance to entertain and sell Happy Meals? Some people don’t get what’s going on. Or maybe they don’t have children, then maybe they do and really don’t care.

Lets get this straight, to all of you idiotic suppoters of this BK add. If this ad aired on HBO or another strickly adult station I would not find a thing wrong with it. Maybe you approve since you don’t have kids. That’s fine but for those of us who do most of us find this ad offensive and to vulgar for small children. This ad should not be played on regular Tv aimed at children since it indeed uses the Sponge Bob Squarepants cartoon in the ad. Burger king needs to find another way to advertise or maybe they should look into improving the quality of the product that comes from their resturants and they would not have to get soo raunchy with their ads to bring in customers. I will not eat at their establishment if this is the kind of message they promote, We’ll go to MCDONALDS………besides i find that usually a MCDONALDS is always right beside most Burger Kings. Oh and I saw this ad at noon on sunday!!!! so what about airing restrictions? Just to let it be known that I didn’t object to the Virgin ads since they were geared towards more mature target range but using sponge bob in the mix eliminates the argument of intended age group (1to 10 years old) the way I figure it. GROW UP BURGER KING!!!
