If you haven’t seen the commercials, Burger King is issuing a new global challenge to prove that the Whopper is better than the Big Mac. To do this, they are going to indigenous communities around the world and flying them out to Burger Kings to have them do a Whopper/Big Mac taste test. WTF?!
I don’t have much time online, but come on! Is this the future of consumerism? Get an Amazon tribe to endorse your product and all of a sudden you’re not only genuine, but also global friendly. But leave it to Burger King to let “these people” know what to think. Thank you Burger King. You’re winning just like McDonald R&B commercials.
As always, Burger King can hold my pocket. (Damn shame, I like those chicken fries too….)

I mean it is highly unhealthy but it is a persuasive argument to do it that way. I just dont think filming it and exploiting their appearance is right so for that reason they should hold your pocket

We don’t know enough about the people who tested the whopper or big mac to say who is poor, hungry, happy or sad. We dont know how eating the burgers really affected them in any detail. We do know the principles of respect. BK’s ad is interesting because rather than carrying on as usual, pretending to be caring and sensitive in their commercials while making stuff that shortens our lifespan, they produce an ad that is overtly disrespectful. What is scary is that they target outsiders. I trust their research. They know that the average American simply doesnt know enough about unglobalized virgins to know how little we know about them; How little we have the right to impose on them. yikes just when you thought the giants couldn’t stoop any lower.
