The BK Angry Whopper
I don’t check for Burger King commercials but Advert Fan posted this and, since it references pitbull training in what I consider an offensive manner I though I’d share it with you folks.
Now, I’m not calling for its removal and I’m not upset. I just find the reference to animal torture offensive.
But I know many of you won’t and that sort of thing interests me.
On a related note, Michael Miraflor enjoyed Finish Line/Nike’s lilsmacktalker but had a friend who found it "borderline offensive."
I enjoyed letting the animation run and hearing the smack talk but the reality is that, for some people, any non-white animated character portraying anything like a cliche is inherently racist. Sometimes I agree, sometimes I don’t.
If you have thoughts on the matter that go beyond, "people just need to lighten up and take themselves a little less seriously," I’m all ears.
I watched the commercial… I’m not sure how it referenced pittbulls… It never said pittbulls… I raise pittbulls and I certianly don’t raise them like that. I think it’s a shame you linked the name pittbull to that commercial in any fashion
Don’t play naive.
Just because you raise your dogs in a better way doesn’t mean that you’re unaware that sickos that train dogs for fighting often treat them abusively and put hot sauce in their food to keep them angry and on edge.
It’s a shame that they do what they do.
Maybe me too but for different reasons!
