Burger King obsene commercial

I will never ever ever buy from Burger King again after seeing the commercial I saw last night, and then just a few minutes ago! I cannot believe they would use "Square Butts" to try and sell a kids meal? and what does that have to do with Spongebob? This is not the first time Burger King has had innapropriate commerical ads... there was one with Paris hilton in a tiny bathing suit and stiletos eating a whopper. Also many other fast food companies have been using obsene advertisements to sell food...one has absolutely nothing to do with the other. What type of message are you guys trying to send?

Burger King lack of concern for order

Ordered a Double Whopper Combo, go large, extra onions and pickles. Was ready to pick up my order and the slaesperson looked at my order and noticed it was a single whopper instead of what I ordered and paid for. When ashe told the cook, it was like oh well thats not what the screen stated, but my receipt stated it was a double. It appears they werent concerned about cheating the customer. No apoplogies or even an offer for a free pop. Looks like they really dont care about the customer. Probably last time I ever go to Burger King on Washington Street in Grand Forks.

all fast food places havea sign that says if you are asked to pay a different amount than what is shown on your receipt to please call 1-88-blahblahb

take a drive through the drive thru after they are closed, the sign is usually on the driveup window.

but, dont bother if youve already thrown your receipt away.

Do not continue to patronize the fastfood restaurant.
Send and E-mail or send a letter to Burger King's corporate headquaters.

Burger King inappropriate advertising for children

Are you kidding me?

Who comes up with your ad ideas?

The latest sponge bob ad with the inapropriate sexual inference, is for children who would like a child's meal! It would be more appropriate as an ad for hooters!

I have taken my grandchildren to burgerking for the last time, and I will no longer be eating there either, which is a problem for me, as I am a vegetarian, and burgerking is the only fast food chain to offer a "veggie" burger! Oh well - I will survive!

Burger King rude/not correct

i went through the drive threw for the .99 cent kids meal like i have done before, and they did not discount me so i had to ask arent the kids meals .99 he said yes then took off 1.06 when i had two kids meals on there, so again i had to ask about this, i said i have 2 kids meals then he said you only get one .99 kids meal per regular priced value meal and i said well you didnt do that last time and some jerk employee in the back yells ''yes we did" like i was lying or something, i just then left to go to another burger king and ordered the same thing an had no problems i got 2 kids meals for .99 with the purchase of my value meal. it just goes to show that burger king will make up there own rules when they want. this was the omaha nebraska 108 Q st. location

DCgirl it has been pointed out tons of times that the deal is one kids meal per one adults meal. The OP did not know the policy and not only that she blamed her abusing her children due to the policy. Also her eleven year old son admitted the mother was lying and she made another excuse to beat him.

Many times the individual store owner makes his own policies. I don't agree with this because if Burger King is advertising something, then all the franchises need to honor it. For instance, there are some franchises that charge more for certain items on the menu than others. I don't like this and therefore I don't use the particular franchises in question. Complain to the franchise owner and to Burger King corporate headquarters. The franchise owner will not want to lose business (especially if many people complain and don't eat there anymore) and the corporate headquarters will not want to have bad press.

Also there is not way this person is old enough to drive let alone a parent. Then again people can have children at 12. However I think this letter was just originally written as a school assignment or something, then later the author turned it into a joke with the comments about it making her so angry that she beat the crap out of their children and broke their favorite toys. Only someone who is in middle school would use the arguement you gave in the last time. No self respecting adult would be like this knowing last time they did a favor. If that is the case she is a very poor role model for her children for not being thankful for the favor and throwing a temper tantrum(as she said by one of her responses, because she did not get her way.

She is verbally abusive in this letter as well. I just saw her post about beating her children, she probably. However whatever the case may be it WAS HER who posted, and she should be ashamed to even joke about abusing her children. Child abuse is a serious matter, not a joke, and if she really was a parent she would not be making a joke on this. Shame on tmh.

If she is a parent, I wonder does she call her children stupid, and swear at them. If this letter was for real was she as rude to the BK employees as she is to everyone who posted on her letter, and I am not dumb, it is obviously that "grandpa" character is the same person. They both stopped posting the same day. Either way this person is teaching her children to be rude, and disrespectful, which is a poor lesson to teach them. She has a two year old and is acting like one herself, I wonder if she uses profanity in front of her children. Hopefully the father gets those kids(if this is even real) before it is too late.

Don't worry the manager did nothing to discipline "Ryan". Maybe instead of clogging your lungs and veins with BurgerKing you should sit down and have a good old fashion meal with your kids. Let them know that you love them with a healthy meal instead of processed cow ###.

By the way, I love fast food. This isn't against fast food. Its against your ### parenting.

Burger King king, likes square bottoms, sponge bob

We have no complaints about food or service or cleanliness. I read the complaint page and was amazed. Our complaint is about your advertizing.
No one that I know lets there children watch Sponge Bob and Square Pants. One friend has a machine that deletes all bad words or unacceptable words for her and her family. She said half the words on the Sponge Bob show are deleted. Wow, no wonder a lot of people don't want their kids watching it. I like your Swiss Mushroom Burger (Although it is too big to eat it all at one time and not very good when it is left overs). However, until the time comes that you no longer use Sponge Bob commercials and promotional items...we will not be able to partake or enjoy your food. Please, consider the children minds and development.
Sincerely and hopefully, Rob and Sandy Bailey

I'm convinced that the same people simply register new names to write new "complaints". The style rarely varies. Half credible rambling complaints about God knows what.

"(Although it is too big to eat it all at one time and not very good when it is left overs)"
Oh, boo hoo, will Burger King EVER make a Swiss burger that also tastes good as a left over?! They should really get on that. My breakfast would be much more enjoyable if I could just pull out that fast food and woof it down before heading off to work.

"No one that I know lets there children watch Sponge Bob and Square Pants"
No one that I know thinks that Sponge Bob and Square Pants are two separate people. Lordy, I couldn't care less about it but even I know that.

See what I'm saying? I'd rather not believe that 'Merka is really this collectively and consistently dumb. But I've been disappointed before.

Burger King sponge bob commercial

To Whom it may concern,
I have never sent a complaint like this before. This is about your new commercial for Sponge Bob, I think that it is disgusting. You want parents to buy a kids meal with a commercial like that. I have a 3yr and a 2yr. old and when that commercial comes on I turn the channel. I do not approve of this and will not eat at a Burger King that advertises somthing that disgusting. If you want parents to buy a kids meal with a toy in it then make it more down to earth where the children can watch it on tv. Your advertisers need to be fired for who ever came up with that dirty, nasty, commercial.
Thank you,

I do not make a habbit of making a complaint for any company unless it's extremely appropriate. My young children love Sponge Bob. The fact that Burger King's commericial makes rediculously lude gesters toward "boody" and sexy woman's butts is offensive at best and tasteless to the point of never eating there again at worst. If they used a little taste and family appropriateness next time maybe they wouldn't lose customers that have been eating there they're whole lives!

The new Burger King commercial for the Spongebob meal is just awful. I do not think little children need to see rump shaking just so that parents can be badgered for a meal. Do you want your little girls shaking her rump in grandpa's face? I guess it's true..anything for a buck.

So sorry that we live in such a prude country that people think that the infamous SpongeBob commercial is lewd or morally objective. I had to go back and Google the commercial (*that's* how much of an impression it made, I don't even remember it) to see what the hee haw was about and quite frankly, I still don't see the issue. In Europe, it is commonplace to have nudity in commercials - something our Puritan founded society would surely object to.

Here is a thought: maybe you should teach your children about sex at an early age instead of pointing fingers and calling it the devil's work; then maybe you won't have to worry about when your child comes home knocked up / has gotten someone knocked up because you tried to hide the truth about sex or shelter them. Don't believe me? Look at the teenage pregnancy rate in the Netherlands, where sex is much more prevalent in the media, versus the United States. Of course, there is something that could be said about the drug laws there that applies to America (legalization) but that that is a different topic all together.

Time to grow up and join the rest of the world, America.

Grim_Blue, people ar enot getting more uptight about this, people are becoming so desensitized that they accept all this filth as normal. The truth is, we need to teach this generation about what is right and wrong, and instill morals and values before they become people are just do whatever feels good to them without caring about what they are doing.

That is not sheltering btw, . You got your fact all backwards. It is important to let them know what is going on in this world and that they need to make right choices. If you teach your children the truth, they will not go against it(as you stated).

Oh, you mention friends who grew up in a strict christian home. I am not a strict christian, I am one who sticks to what is right and strives to avoid what is wicked, immoral, etc.

Ok, first of all I wanted to say that I am a father of two; a boy and a girl. I think all of you are leading (and in effect, forcing your children to lead) very sheltered lives. It's a commercial, about a cartoon sponge for christ's sake. Kids aren't going to look at it in a manner of "sexual exploitation", or whatever you would want to call it. The fact is, kids find stuff like that funny. I remember when I was growing up with my brother and sister, as sick as it may sound, the subject of butts and pretty much anything involving them was satire. That remained the same with kids at my school, and even younger cousins and nephews/neices of mine today. The way I see it, is that the world is not getting more desentized ( as whistleblower put it), but rather people are getting more uptight about things. Subjects such as sex, profanity, and violence only have as much power as you give them. One thing I've noticed from friends and people I know, is that if you make a big deal of things of controversy, then often the children will treat them as such. Often times when they grow older, they will also go against what you teach them as kids, and embrace what you see as "bad" or "immoral". I saw it happen with a couple of my friends who grew up in strict Christian homes. I just wish people were more open-minded and weren't "appalled" at the drop of a damned hat.

I went to the Burger King home site to complain about their Sponge Bob commercial but they do not accept e-mails. Good thing for them as I'm sure this commercial would result in a flood of complaints. Not since Wendy's and their Hot 'n Juicy campaign, which showed dogs licking the grease off of kids faces, have I seen such a complete lack of corporate responsibility! If this is the direction in which Burger King is headed, then they obviously don't want my business. And, I'm happy to comply!

Burger King terrible experience

Burger King Corp. Continues to falsely advertise, using the words (Have it your way). They will not cut the whopper in half. They offer you a knife to do it. On my first compliant to corporate headquarters. I was told an employee injury caused them to stop cutting it. I explained to them it doesn't met their advertising slogan. I suggested inventing a machine to cut it safely. What I found interesting was in the Broward County, Florida area they would do it as requested. Two (2) years later, I reported them to the BBB, (Better Business Bureaus) because of the continued use of the slogan in advertising. Their response was that the slogan meant the numerous condiments you can have put on your Burger King foods. My response then, was (Have it your way) means 'Have it your way', in plain english. Not the meaning they were giving those words.

Still after approx. three (3) years after my reporting them to the B.B.B. they continue to use the slogan in thier advertising. I had always eaten my whooper extra mayoniase cut in half almost all my life till this change in their practice. I have stopped eating their because of their response and lack of action. They should stop using the slogan if their not going to let the customer have it their way.

I'm mad because when you buy something & get your receipt it says on the back to go online to do a survey & get a CODE for a FREE WHOPPER Sandwich or Original Chicken Sandwich. When I tried it they came up with (I'm sorry but we have completed our survey for this month. Please try again later. I bought an item again & tried to do the survey & got the same response. VERY discouraging. I won't go there as often as before. I will go to McDonald's, KFC & Jack N The Box. They never have given me a problem as long as I buy something in order to get my FREE item.

Burger King square butts???

I am very offended by the latest television commercial aired by Burger King in my area! It is very sex driven, and very inappropriate to be aired. I do not like my 4 year old son running around singing "I like square butts" and sying "booty is booty".
I recently worked at a Burger King store in Talladega, Al. while being laid off from my regular job. I basically had to quit this job due to being accussed of making an inappropriate remark to a female co-worker, which I did not. I was accussed of saying something that is far more innocent than the images in the commercial being currently aired in my market. I am currently seeking counsel of an attourney to see if I have grounds for legal action against Burger King, the franchisee, and the management(general, assistants, and district) that were involved, as well as the co-worker due to the sexual nature of this commercial.

Burger King demeaning commercials

Burger King is reaching new heights in low regard for women and children. When you have to demean women in order to sell a child a stupid hamburger and toy then we have indeed sank to a new debth of decay in our society. I just viewed a commercial where they were promoting women with big square butts in order to intice children to want a burger king spongebob squarepants toy. It is sending a very poor opinion of women, their bodies, their roles in advertisement, and a sexual inuendo that belittle the progress women have strived to overcome that we are little more than sex objects to be used and discarded. SHAME ON YOU BURGER KING AND ANY OTHER SERVICE THAT HAS TO RESORT TO SUCH TASTELESS, DEMORALIZING, AND OFFENSIVE COMMERCIAL ADS TO SELL THEIR SORRY PRODUCTS.

Burger King pubic hair in my fries, no refund!!

after spending 10+ minutes at the BK drive thru speaker finally someone took my order . I wish I had just driven away! But I was hungry and my lunch break is only 30 min and I did not have time to choose another restaurant. Anyways I got the tendercrisp combo as usual, paid and drove off then back at my desk after consuming my sandwich and fries i discovered two pubic hairs at the bottom of the fry container. Needless to say I became distraught and after washing my mouth out with soap (gross what if i had swallowed one without noticing or something) I left sick for the day and went back to Burger King to confront the manager with the discovery. The manager (Abdul) was very rude and even when presented with the evidence would only offer me a replacement of the fries. Screw that I wanted my money back and I told him so. But he refused and what am I gon na do, call 911 like some people do over fast food?

So please if you eat agt Burger King check your fries for pubic hairs and do not eat there if there is an Indian manager as they do not understand how to provide even the most basic level of customer service and food cleanliness. I was treated as if i was beneath him for complaining about something so "Trivial"?

I understand that you had a problem, where you waited too long for your food and you found hair in it when you got it. We all found hairs in our food, but we are talking about Burger king and you're getting upset, just find another place to eat and move on, I'm sure they aren't losing much if you're changing your food options. On the other hand, there is no room for racist comments, not positive for your or the public.

Burger King spongebob commercial

I'am so disqusted by the spongebob square pants commercial that I will never eat at any burger king ever again and I 'am letting family and friends know also but i'm sure they have seen it woman dancing around with square butts half dressed promoting happy meals and the most appalling thing is the end booty is booty you have to be kidding me I think you need to check the background of this people that do these commercials because I think they are perverted it's disqusting to know that burger king has to go to levels like this (Booty with happy meals) should never go in the same sentence or more less a commercial i'm sure I won't be the only complaint...

I am so disappointed in Burger King's production and display of the square pants commercial.
At first sight, I thought it was a little funny. However, on further consideration, I feel the tone of the commercial is more conducive to a liquor, condom or sensual lubricant commercial. I feel it should not be shown during prime time if at all.
I do not want my 4 and 5 year old grandsons to see this commercial just as I do not want them to start looking at women as strictly sexual objects and making fun of certain body parts.
I have decided to turn off any television program running the commercial. This has been pretty difficult since it runs during some of my favorite shows. I have been watching a lot of PBS recently.
I do miss going by Burger KIng for my Whopper Jr with Cheese meal. I really do no like going to McDonalds or Wendys. I just cannot make myself go through the BK drive in because all I hear is that stupid commercial in my head. Pity.
I do not own BK stock, but if I did I would sell it immediately, even at a loss.
I realize Burger King has invested a lot of money in this commercial. We all make choices, and we enjoy or suffer the consequences of those choices.
Please, stop running the commercial so I can start watching my favorite shows again and start enjoying your fine food products.

If you’re shocked or annoyed by this commercial, my question to you is; where have you been hiding? When considering the question of culture, a valid question is “Who makes culture?” Here’s your answer; Burger King and the ad agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky. Both kids and adults WILL eat this up. The ad agency has cleverly and humorously connected objectification of women with cheap fatty meat and toys. What’s the problem? Isn’t this the culture you’d enjoy living in?

For me, this is really a question of culture and who we pay to create the culture and who we discourage, by neglect, to contribute to the culture. How about schools teaching some legitimate creativity and genuine critical thinking.

When it comes to the welfare and spiritual well-being of your children, griping about about a BK commercial on a blog isn’t near good enough. The reality is; this is what you bought into, and sadly, so have I.

How about considering the quality of education our kids are getting. I know part of being an American (in this current culture anyhow) is your assumed right to be too busy to have a voice. Burger King is teaching your children something, I look down my nose at you and say “wake up!” You might at least consider letting the AD AGENCY (Crispin Porter + Bogusky) and BURGER KING know what we thinbk about their funny little commercial:

Burger King butt commercial

I just saw the new burger king kids meal commercial. I think it is uncalled for to use the "I like big butts" song and video changed to "square butts" for a kids ad! I Will not shop @ BK until the add is pulled.

Burger King offensive commercials

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gMZ62PsvRM
Burger King has had some offensive commercials before, but I think this one beats them all. Objectification and sexualization of women to sell a product is ubiquitous and disgusting and this is a particularly upsetting one. This is taking a sexist, disgusting song that they know is popular and catchy and using it to advertise a prodcut WHILE APPEALING TO A YOUNG AUDIENCE with the use of Spongebob and the squarepants/butts. This is disgusting and upsetting! If I didn't already have plenty of reasons to boycott Burger King, I do now!
It seems clear from many of their commercials that they are marketing to men and don't give a damn what the female audience members think. Well, maybe we should see how they'd do without revenues from female consumers. I know I will not be purchasing anything from them and I will encourage my friends and family not to either (of both sexes). We'll be doing ourselves a favor.

I do not appreciate the "smart alec" commercials being aired by Burger King. We should be trying to teach children to be respectful of others. It is entirely unacceptable to show adults using objectional language and actions. "Arrogant punk" is by not means acceptable nor is it acceptable for a the "Burger King" to be kicked on the shin by the child posing as his child.

Something else we could do is write the television stations requesting they discontinue the commericals based on the fact that they market this way to children. Not only do we not want our children eating this mess, we sure as hell don't want them attracted to it by means of continued denigration of 1/2 the population. If it were a bunch of African American men tap dancing around among white men who are eating the burger ( or slop) being revered by the black men, there would be an enormous outcry, and this company would be forced to stop. There was a Jack in the Box commercial about 2 years ago that was just as offensive. Many people, including myself, wrote to one of the stations here asking that they stop airing it. Almost immediately we never saw it again. Although that may be a coincidence considering that the companies pay for placing ads, I like to think it was the result of our work. :)

It's a funny commercial. Stop complaining and teach your children what is right and wrong, and if you do a good job they will understand why this commercial is funny.

Burger King food old and cold

I waited in line, the drive thru girl couldn't get my order right, when I got to the window, she wanted me to check my order to make sure it was right, it was not. Then they didn't have the onion rings ready, i pulled over to the side. The did not have any onion ring sauce for the onion rings. When I did get my food it was not fit to eat. The onion rings were mushy and cold. The rest of my food was cold. Why did I have to wait, just to get cold food? One of the worst experiences at this restaraunt. Same thing happened the time before this visit. Onion rings were cold. Before that they just didn't even have any onion rings. I go to Burger King because my daughter loves their onion rings. But I think this time she finally is done with them. Not happy in any way!

Burger King disgusting commercial

"I like square butts!"... "booty is booty"... For a kids meal!?! Have you people ever heard the lyrics to that song? It's completely inappropriate - especially for children. I didn't think that was too hard to figure out. I don’t think that the women dressed provocatively is appropriate either... For a kids meal advertisment. You people are idiots. I wont be bringing my family there anytime soon because burger king is obviously not trying to be a "family restaurant".

The new commercial is so appauling. It gives a sexual overtone and I find it disgusting. After speaking with friends I found everyone else was disgusted. What people in their right mind would allow such a commercial? We used to go to Burger King a few times a month. My children will never step foot in there again. How dare you try to sell food with sex. What kind of client tell do you want? You need to hire different people that are able to sell food in a clean way.

I completely agree, I actually just posted a blog about the same commercial if you are talking about the "I like Big Butts" and sponge bob kids meal advertisement...if so I can totally see how you feel...but I had a troll(unpleasant poster) who seem to not care and not too long from me posting it ...wrote a stupid comment so I had to kindly check the person by letting them know that what they posted does not affect the truth that you and me both see is happening with Burger King's digusting commercials...so I gave the corporate office number and website to anyone who would like to contact them at the bottom of what I wrote

Take care and protect your blog, there are burger King workers who are employed to purposely attack message boards like ours...which really says something about their service and integrity

And we wonder why our society is falling apart. It’s like decency and respect has been sacrificed for the hope of profitability. If we can’t protect the innocence of our children, we may as well hang it up! Thanks for nothing Burger King… my hope is that your franchise tanks with this economy and a business with integrity will take your place.

Burger King sexist tv add

There is an add being shown during the college basketball playoffs for Burger King that with two dorky guys and several young girls with plenty of cleavage fawning over some burgers. It's sexist and without taste. I 'm sick of advertiseres using cleavage to sell their products!

And to "Twiiter", grow up! Why don't you muster what little brain cells you have left and form an argument that is mature, respectful, and relevant. Women who feel unattractive and have low self esteem are the ones who resort to using sexual tactics, not the ones who rebel against it, duh! If a woman is beautiful and has confidence, she doesn't need to [censored] herself to a bunch of men.

Burger Kins is sooo sexist and inappropriate and I think their advertisements should be banned in the US like they are in other countries. What ever happened to a thing called censorship? You can put any garbage on tv these days. This country is raising a generation of porn stars, pimps, and sexual predators. I will never eat at Burger King again and I will do whatever it takes to get their pornographic ads changed. Sell food not sex!

Burger King spitting in food

This Burger King has a reputation for being disgusting but what I learned after being with an employee just a few weeks ago will turn your stomach!
I was first told of this by one employee and was then told by others also that if you make the employees of this Burger King angry. Say if you drive up at the last minute when they are trying to close they will (and it has been done), spit in your burger or whatever other gross thing you can imagine.
My advice would be to stay clear of this restaurant.
