Find the Small Hands commercial extremely distasteful, discrimination and target humor against handicaped people - I have small hands due to a birth defect. Ha Ha cannot pick up our hamburger - wrong will not buy it. Burger King marketing staff should be dismissed. Had to listen to some co workers laugh about this one day at work several months ago and just saw commercial run again.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I've never written a complaint before, after seeing the Burger "King" measuring women box bottoms made me turn off the t.v. and immediately start in on this. Its a terrible and sexist commercial. Its sad that not only Burger King delivers disgusting food but also trashes women. I have A 10year old daughter that I'm raising. We don't watch allot of t.v. but because of this and other commercials I believe that we will stop t.v. viewing altogether. Fire the 14year old boys and hire a real creative team
karl rider, don't pay any attention to these heartless, clueless people. The commercial is funny only to self-centered people. The commercial is corny & insensitive & should be considered so by any intelligent, civilized human being. PR people are paid big bucks to come up with anything they can that's considered funny regardless of real-life individuals who has that handicap.
Wow, I thought thee complaint was going to be about the sexual innuendo. One guy is embarrassed about being small, but his big buddy is willing to hold it for him anyway ... even without the phallic subtext, two guys feeding each other is kinda gay. (And I love it!)
ITS JUST A JOKE.. I DONT KNOW WHO THE GUY IN THE COMMERCIAL IS.
Lowell Trahan is the guy in the commercial. He has really small hands and it is not a birth defect. He is just a little fellow, with extremely small hands. He was really proud of doing the commercials. It brought life to his same sex marriage. His partner was feeling like he was cut short in life. The money brought them fullfillment.
Just go down to Houma Louisiana to meet, BK, aka LOWELL TRAHAN.
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL ...I GUARANTEE THE CREATORS OF THIS COMMERCIAL WERENT EVEN THINKING ABOUT ACTUAL BIRTH DEFECTS WHERE YOUR HANDS ARE SMALL.I NEVER KNEW SUCH A DISORDER EVEN EXISTED..ANYWAYS GET OVER IT THE COMMERCIAL IS HILLARIOUS & ITS NOT MY PROBLEM YOU CANT HOLD A BK DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER LOL LOLO LOL OL OL OL OL OL OLOL OLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOL LITTLE HANDS
i have small hands, not due to a birth defect, they are just small. i often getr compared to the guy in this commercial. i think we should have a wolfpack together. our tribe name would be "small paws". me (as the chief) would be chief tinyhanns and yours would be young birthdefect.
OMG that commercial isn't even FUNNY. I say BK Head Honchos should be fired for approving such a BORING commercial.
OP: I thought the commercial would be much more offensive, the way you put it.
Bring back the "I didn't ask to be broiled" commercials, those were FUNNY.
Oh, Good Lord. Suck it up. The world is not perfect, and we all don't go around singing "Kumbaya". The commercial wasn't made with malice to offend handicap individuals. Thicker skin can do you wonders.
hey twitter u give me the creeps
I totally agree. I worked for BK for years, but this latest commercial is a low blow.
I won't take my kids to a restaurant that promoted "BOOTIE" and SQUARE BUTTS"
What are they thinking.
If it's so good and acceptable, let's put it on the menu
BOOTIE BURGERS or BOOTIE FRIES for KIDS.
See how far that goes with the religious right.
PULL THE COMMERCIAL...NOW!
