This morning as we were getting ready for school, I flipped the television on to catch the weather. My six year old was watching with me when a Burger King commercial came on. The commercial showed Sponge Bob, and featured a spoof of the song "I Like Big Butts".
They show these women shaking their large square rears, and the creepy king measuring their butts. The commercial ends with them saying "booty is booty". This oh so fine example of tasteless crap was for a kids meal with a Sponge Bob toy.
I'm an adult (most of the time), and I've always thought the "King" is creepy. I know that some will think the commercial is funny, and they are certainly entitled to their opinion, but for the life of me I can't figure out why we need to use these kinds of degrading images to sell kids a hamburger, and a toy. What ever happened to having kids in commercials geared towards kids?!
Creepy, and inappropriate, and did I say creepy?

Thank you (I think), and as to your opinion, you're entitled to it, as I am to mine. I am not about controversy, I just prefer to teach my son to respect not only women, but all people. And how about next time put your "opinion" in the comments department.
Blessings,
Dana

You are truly one of my favorites in this big world of social media. I really like this post...in fact, that "person" should have voiced his/her real opinion in the comments. Once again, someone who wants to set us straight without putting themselves out there.
ReplyDeleteI wrote about that creepy King a few months ago and I so agree...their commercials are awful...esp for young kids to see.

Hey Blondie read your BK post, and I agree... don't want to wake up with the "King" blech. My 6yo old said.. "Do they want you to buy hamburgers to get big butts? That's just stupid."
