Wrong to show to kids.

BK is also a "proud sponsor" of Planned Parenthood [/quote]

Surprise, surprise.

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.[/quote]
Haven't seen the ads, but if he was really supposed to look like Jesus, I think we would have heard quite an uproar by now - a LOT bigger than this uproar.

haha google it i'll bet you 20 bucks you'll think it looks like Jesus. If you honestly dont then I'll owe you 20 and send it to you. Again it's a costume and he has a crown and he's called the king and he looks like Jesus. Peace.

Is it wrong that I find this all a tad amusing? Probably. Oh well.

The video here:

I rarely find a commercial funny enough to laugh at it after I've already seen it once. But I love this one for some reason.

It really reminded me of the "baby got book" spoof on this song

And from the perspective of someone who watches kids. Sponge bob is annoying as all heck but very popular. This comercial has very little that appeals to kids, but is defiantly appealing to 20-30yo's with small kids...as we were teens when this song was popular.

it IS stupid, and annoying, and somewhat hilarious that some parents are offended by this, but after all, it is just a BK ad
