Selah Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 [url="http://www.examiner.com/x-5430-New-Orleans-Parenting-Examiner~y2009m4d14-New-Spongebob-Squarepants-Burger-King-ad-has-some-parents-outraged"]http://www.examiner.com/x-5430-New-Orleans...arents-outraged[/url] [quote]Burger King has recently released a new ad that combines Spongebob Squarepants and Sir Mix-a-Lot’s “Baby Got Back” music to promote their new kids’ meal. The song’s lyrics are changed to focus on “square” bottoms, and the ad features a number of models dancing provocatively to the music. Clips from Nickelodeon’s Spongebob Squarepants appear in the commercial to promote the new toy for the kids’ meals. Many parents are outraged by the use of sex to sell a kids’ meal. While I normally don’t get involved in much of the hype that surrounds television shows and commercials today (we in New Orleans tend to be fairly tolerant), I have to say that I also found this ad to be disturbing.[/quote] Is it wrong that I find this all a tad amusing? Probably. Oh well.

homeschoolmom Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Can I just say I hate this ad? Three things I find especially annoying all in one ad: Spongebob Squarepants Baby Got Back and that stupid-looking king Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icelandic_iceskater Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 yea, but you need like 4 kids meals to fill you. By that time you've got all your calories for the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TotusTuusMaria Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Stupid. Wrong to show to kids. BK is also a "proud sponsor" of Planned Parenthood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Wednesday Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 The same people that wonder what the big deal is are probably also the same people that wonder why 5th and 6th graders are having sex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 RAP MUSIC IS FROM THE DEVIL !!!!!!!!!!!! NAS IS THE ANTICHRIST !!!!!!!!!!!!!! In all fairness though burger king is pretty messed up for doing this. I go to micky d's or wendy's. Although wendys when I get the triple chesse meal supersized with a large chillie it comes to like 10 bucks. And you dont even get that many fries. That's why I prefer going to micky d's and ordering 2 dobule cheeses for a dollar something each and 3 dollar fries. What a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 What do you expect from bk though they have been mocking Jesus with the king ads for awhile now. And they used to or still do have ads with P. Diddy. What a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Jesus is my homeboy shirts with him smiling a big gay grin are mocking Him to. Just my opinon. The ads im talking about are the ones where the burger kind dude is dressed up in that costume that looks like Jesus. And he's called the king and I remember one of the commercials had him doinng something that was unchrist like. I forget what it was but I took it as mocking Him. It was awhile ago but it blatenly stuck out. Although who am I to judge. Edited April 21, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
