Burger King has gone a little to far, don't you think. The new ad shows women in a "compromising position" trying to get a taste of the "Six inch long new sandwich/ or is that really what it represents?" Many women's rights groups and organizations are taking a stand against this sexist new ad:



Many advertising agencies are saying, " No Harm done, we are just trying to sell hamburgers!" Well, I think you may be racking in tons of money at the expense of being sexist, misogynistic bastards! 



 

Thanks again Burger King!



 

Remember to read the fine print below:



 

"IT'LL BLOW YOUR MIND AWAY. Fill your desire for something long, juicy and flame-grilled with the NEW BK SUPER SEVEN INCHER. Yearn for more after you taste the mind-blowing burger that comes with a single beef patty, topped with American cheese, crispy onions and the A1 Thick and Hearty Steak Sauce."

Thanks for copying the fne print! I think that makes it even worse. They're not trying to hide what they're doing at all!

Misogyny? Sexism? Hell NO!

These are the most absurd claims I have ever heard. Is this ad risque? Yes. But how in the world is the ad degrading in anyway to women? Alright, yes, there is a 'super seven incher' plunging into this woman's mouth. But the fact that it is a woman is unimportant. The ad is a farce.

 It's sexist because the woman looks like a blowup doll with the harsh makeup, blank stare, and mouth open wide. It's the epitome of objectifying women.
