Quiznos, McDonald’s, Burger King, Hardees, I can’t get over the level of marketing stupidity you have when you associate fast food with hot women, sex, blow jobs and all the other stuff which has NOTHING TO DO with your crappy food. It doesn’t make the food taste any better. Walking into McDonald’s the other day I couldn’t stop thinking about the “Awesome Threesome” and how gross that would be if it were included in any real (read: non-food) sexual experience. Burger king, you just kind of piss me off with Seven Incher ad. Anyone else notice a recent rise of the porno food ads?

Wow. That BK ad is offensive. I’d boycott them if I didn’t already not eat there.
Sex is one thing, but calling their food “art” is something entirely unacceptable. Read this:

That’s just stupid. But less offensive than the blow job ad.
BK’s response is at Gawker.
blame it on singapore
corporate porn
That’s strange….I can feel my IQ deteriorating…and I’m not even drinking. Might as well finish the job, once and for all.

Rather that assaulting you with accusations of FAIL, I will genially suggest that you completely miss both the point *and* the genius of ads like this.
The point of this BK ad, is to be so over the top that nordic blog admins world wide will repost them on their sites with some sort “ZOMG, cn you believe they tried to get away with this!!!1!!eleventy” – as is already happening. While the ad’s ‘message’ may seem obvious, its not. BK has easily tripled, if not more, the exposure that they paid for, and the sandwich offer has seeped in between the sex. That is the point.
Advertising is ever evoving. Everyone now is trying to hit the next big viral, and are willing to go to extremes to get it (see also hammer pants video, lonelygirl17 etc etc). If you are not aware of this paradigm, you will fall victim to it… oh wait. Too late. BK is laughing at your impotant umbrage.
Also, if America weren’t such a hypocritically prudish nation, this ad would merely be stupid, and the back end intention wouldn’t even work. It is almost painful how easily we, as a country, are manipulated by our own ignorance and fear.
That said, I miss old school subtlety.
B-yo, someone who can’t spell or properly insert html is imping you.
No thats me. Its thursday and Im tired from late night disco action (so much fun last night! bar dancing in effect!) – then early morning cube farming.
Tired, but not too tired to realize the lame attempt at going viral that this ad is. Well, I say lame, but it does seem to be popping up everywhere (thanks thor!), so maybe not so.
Our minds are the final battleground. Its best to arm yourself.
An ad that generates talk and an ad that generates sales are two different things.
Sales are secondary to exposure. The ad is not selling sandwiches necessarily, its branding BK.
You think coke really needs to advertise to sell soft drinks anymore?
It’s hard to top “I’ve got Lance in my pants”.

every time I see the Lance truck I want to vommit
every time I see that Lance truck around town I want to vommit.
if you’re lance brenner, that truck is awesome!
(the faces of the folks on that thing are a little creepy, though, i’ll give you that.)
that is the upchuck reference I speak
Clearly, I have too much time on my hands.
I’m surprised Taco Bell’s new pink taco ads escaped mention here. ” lets drizzle it with some sticky white sauce and call it The VOLCANO” Thinking outside the buns indeed.
Padma Lakshmi made Hardee’s look classy, even if only for a split second.
And I kinda thought it was hot watching her lick sauce out of the burger like it was a coochie.
my food porn doesn’t have people in it, just food.
Speaking of porn and food, Ventana is doing brunch tomorrow. Are you going? I saw the following words on the menu: lump crab, béarnaise, frangipane brioche, fresh squeezed OJ.. ZOMG.
Oh, and steak and sweetbreads and stuff.
They’re serving mimosas and bloodys for $7 I think. Michael Ventana makes yummy bloodys.

Charlottesville answer to Rosa Mexicano! Check out our bar cam while you’re in the can.
Next Week: see where Donk and Shenanigans will be getting their next free meal!
can we make that barcam live stream to the internet?
Psssht I never get free meals anywhere.
Never, oh come on. What about free drinks?
I rarely get free drinks. Except when Donk or Oy buy.
That saddens me. I thought there was still the cville bar/wait custom of taking care of each other. You got free stuff (from time to time) and then you overtipped .
Too bad, I guess times are tough all over
I only bartend part time and don’t go out much during the week since I have an early morning day job.
Besides, you do what you can for fellow restaurant workers when you can but you don’t go on blogs and brag about it.
saturday is orchid’s baker’s palette glazed donut day!
but sweetbreads on brioche & duck confit quesadilla look good…
i have to take an 8-hour test though so definitely no bloodies.
(especially not with shrimp in them)
