BK Spongebob Commercial

[CensoredAlso]

I'm sorry but this commercial was disgusting and embarassing to me when I saw it on TV. We wonder why women are still so mistreated in our culture...

I don't care that they're using Spongebob or that it's junk food. I care that it's incredibly sexist and immature. Whether it's aimed at adults or kids.

Oh, I agree it's rather inappropriate, in terms of women. However, I was commenting on the burger part of it. Still ... you have to wonder about how degrading it is to women. The King guy is singing about liking square butts. They go so far as to put what looks like phone books in the women's shorts. Is he objectifying women or Spongebob? O_O

A little of both and both should be insulted!

 

[RedPiggy]

Can Spongebob be insulted?

Can Spongebob be insulted?

He should be when he's being used to advertise burgers that AREN'T crabby patties!

I thought the commercial was kinda stupid ... but, seriously, you would EXPECT Spongebob to have commercials for a burger joint. HE WORKS AT A BURGER FAST-FOOD PLACE! Even IF you banned all the actual commercials, the fact is, Spongebob treats Krabby Patties like the Holy Grail. You'd have to make Spongebob get a job at a vegan place in order to not sound silly when you try to ban BK commercials.

I once heard the STUPIDEST thing... remember the short lived Nickelodeon Puppet show, Mr. Meaty? One critic attacked it because the show took place at a Fast Food place. And all I could say is, "HELLO-O-O-O!" What kind of sheltered life do you live that you never had to work at one of those places? That's, unfortunately, the first step in a career... having to work at a dump during high school. Honestly, do these people expect people to watch a show about people working at an organic food mart? Only comedy there is satirizing the overpaid Yuppies that can afford that stuff, all the while snobbishly snuffing at the poor people that have to eat chemically altered crap. Oh yeah, we pretend to care, when we really just love being well to do. Jerks...

I see what you mean, though I took it as a parody. The song itself is a long line of sexist female butt rap muzak bits. Of course, the infamy of that song made it a parody of itself, and it became a camp hit. It's a song that's so bad, that it became funny.

And trust me, I have heard stuff that's worse. Not so much in sexism, but in terms of "what chicken did they have peck at a keyboard long enough toe write it?" Ever hear "Shake your Laffy Taffy?" E-Gad, what a pathetic piece of crap that was. Generic all the way. But that's the problem with Corporate rap (something I abbreviate as C-rap)... poser thugs, poser gangsters, the ludicrous belief that being as sexist as possible would keep ones masculinity secure. Stereotypes producing stereotypes, perpetuating stereotypes. And I wouldn't doubt most of these producers are old white guys.

Oh yeah it's definitely a parody of something that was already horrible and sexist. The source of the trouble is with the original number (I won't give it the dignity of being called a "song.")

I can't understand why Burger King has gone so far downhill as far as advertising, heh.

I'm gonna get in trouble here, but in a way, this song was puting down girls who make fun or put down other girls who don't look "perfect" or have the ideal image that everyone's supposed to look like to be acceptable by men or their peers, and saying that there are guys out there who do not have a problem with image and aren't as superficial and aren't as discriminatory over a girls looks.

The things is, they point all this out while being totally offensive.

I do get what you mean; perhaps it is a case of a song that sort of meant one thing, but was adopted by the culture in a much more ridiculous and sexist way.

Btw, I just saw on the news 2 seconds ago that a Burger King just got in trouble for a crushed pill being found in a Mac and Cheese a little girl was eating. Man, they're just annoying everyone today!
