Burger King Pulls Commercial With Mexican Theme But Continues to Run The Much More Offensive Rap Ad

Let me get this straight.... Burger King has decided to pull a commercial that had not even begun playing in North America yet, because it was offensive to Mexicans, including a few people in the Mexican government. Mexicans made it clear that they weren't having it. I think it's great that Mexicans who were offended decided to stand up and raise Hell. And it's pretty impressive that this decision apparently came within a few hours or days of the commercial being seen in Europe and someone making a complaint and sounding the alarm.

But it begs the question...if Burger King is willing to pull the above ad with such speed, shouldn't they pull the much more offensive Commercial for Kids Meals that targets Blacks? Oh... I forgot... Black folks aren't raising their voices or protesting in any serious resolute fashion... Remember what I stated before about what Blacks will put up with? Blacks are the only group that tolerates their image being mocked, attacked, typecast, and crapped on. Other groups don't tolerate this kind of nonsense.

That being said... I think business is playing a part in this particular decision....which is why there is such a disparity in the way that the company is dealing with the two commercials. Even though one commercial is far worse than the other, they decided to pull the commercial that is the least offensive of the two. Why? Because Burger King is concerned about the bottom line and nothing else. They want to maintain access to the Mexican market and its 100 million people. On the other hand, a few protest letters from offended minorities and parents is no big deal to them. Interesting stuff...

This just reinforces my dislike of the private sector and big business.... Private Corporations are inherently evil.

New Burger King Commercial Uses Degenerate Stereotypical Images to Peddle Food To Babies

I couldn't believe what I was seeing a few days ago when I ran across the new Burger King Commercial for Kids Meals. It was one of the most disgusting and idiotic ads that I have ever seen. This is yet another example of a Fast Food company reaching out to its "urban" customers. Let me just cut to the chase... this is another annoying but all too common Black commercial from another major Fast Food Chain... in this case, Burger King. But this time the imagery was far worse than usual.

Burger King may have reached a new low when it comes to the level of ignorance and degenerate images in a single commercial. They are openly targeting babies with inappropriate garbage....using the worst kinds of Black stereotypes, and objectifying women in the process. Blacks are the only racial group that allows this kind of nonsense. In fact, I really think a lot of Blacks like this madness. Why? Because you rarely hear a peep from the masses of Blacks when this kind of craziness hits the airwaves. Nor do you see any protesting from Civil Rights Inc. It's almost as if Blacks are o.k. with the fact that corporations are peddling filth and ignorance to their babies.



But when it comes to getting pedophiles released from jail... Blacks show up en masse in support of the release. When a rapper thug (i.e Black Hero) gets arrested... Blacks show up to scream bloody murder and racism.... Or when urban terrorists are devastating "Black Communities" there seems to be this concerted effort by Blacks to ensure that the thugs can continue their reign of terror unimpeded...by not "snitching".

But when corporations are poisoning the image of Blacks and feeding stereotypes... even targeting babies with filth.... there always seems to be silence from the so-called "Black Community".

This is one of the reasons why I hate being Black. I'm just being honest.

When I saw the commercial, I was embarrassed... And apparently, i'm not the only one asking what is going on.

I don't see this level of ignorance and stereotyping when these Fast Food companies are targeting other groups... Am I missing something here?

And who in the Hell gave the executives at Burger King the idea that this ad targeting babies was remotely o.k.? This commercial is apparently part of Burger Kings ad campaign to promote the Sponge Bob Square Pants character, which is geared towards the younger kids. This ad wouldn't be right even if it targeted adults.... So it certainly shouldn't be used to peddle Kids Meals to your children.
