Burger King Commercial
Is it just me or does anyone else have a problem with Burger King using that song "I like Square Butts" to sell kids meals??? I know they are advertising it like that because Spongebob is square but I just don't think they should be using Butts to sell to childre, round or square. I'm no prude but to me that is just wrong.

I agree! That one part where the king is looking at the butt of someone who isn't a little girl, but close enough, just completely creeps me out!0

I used that commercial for a project to show how fast food companies are brainwashing kids. It's a sick commercial. I mean, at the end he says "Booty is booty". Now if they had spongebob shaking his thing, or maybe even football players of something, it would have been fine. But using sex to sell children? That's sick and wrong.:noway:
I'm amazed that commercial isn't banned. It's not right to show that to kids. Adults, sure. Kids, no way.0 -
I really think most of Burger Kings commericals are inappropriate! The King is just creepy!0

very simple solution
dont buy that crap

I totally agree....I couldn't believe what I was watching...0

Hi
I was going to say that I've never seen or noticed the commercial
My kids don't watch much TV but when they do (only 4/5.5) it is ONLY kids TV (not even that Nick Jr crap) and they are supervised
I prefer shows that are taped/DVR/educational or movies that we have screened/appropriate
I think we need to focus more on parents/supervision/responsibility and less on society as far as 'brainwashing' our kids
It annoys me when society is being blamed for over weight kids....this may be a touchy subject and every situation is unique
BUT what about looking at the parents that buy the food, cook the food and how much activity the kids have (sports etc)..again which falls on the parents
Just my thoughts

I also screen what my children watch, however, if I am watching the news while they are doing their homework, and happen to walk in on inappropriate commericals, they see it and it catches their attention cause its spongebob.0

I agree.0 -
I agree! It's sick and reprehensible to have children marketed in that way. That "King" has totally creeped me out since day one when he appeared in bed with some guy.
I don't know if their marketing is making them more popular with the younger set. When they first came out with the creepazoid I read where BK was trying to get a new "hipper" version of Ronald McDonald. It sure doesn't make me take my kids to BK any more, of course I never took them there much before that either.0 -
I think the commercial is hilarious personally-0

very simple solution
dont buy that crap
the end
AMEN!!0 -
I don't go there and don't buy that crap but I'm afraid that won't make the commercial go away, if anything, they will come up with even MORE ill placed ads!very simple solution
dont buy that crap

Good point-- My kids are so busy they don't have much time for television and my kids actually watch animal planet and stuff like that where they can learn- How ever my girls are very busy in playing outside school as well as their sports so really no time to veg out and they like it like that and so do I because I think its ashame how lazy american kids are not to mention how fat they are.- Then again kids are eating the same as there parents and their activity levels are the same0 -

I disagree entirely. Why should parents be weighed down by the task of raising their own children when science has created the perfect baby sitter in the form of electronic images transmitted over the airwaves? What good is the technology if it doesn't give us enough time to enjoy being selfish?
I swear, there's always that one person who thinks that just because we can reproduce, we are somehow "responsible" for the offspring we bring into this world. How dare you, missy!!!! I mean, really, do you honestly think these tiny people are important enough to sacrifice anything for?!? Puh-lease!!!! :explode:

I think it's funny...only because I like the original song :laugh:
I don't have kids so I can't weigh in on if I think it's appropiate or not...
I think it could be worse, they at least covered the butts by making them square lol

Now I am the MOST opened minded non prudish person out there and even I HATE that commerical. It's annoying and I don't think it's appropriate for kids.:noway:
However....I do like that commerical with those mini cows being rounded up. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
With the crap they sell at BK they should have gone with the honest approach and just played
"I like big butts and I cannot lie!"
