maybe this was discussed already

but does anyone else think the new burger king commercial, "i like square butts" sampling the song "i like big butts" by the rapper
sir-mix-alot, all the while showing sponge bob cartoons, and at the end advertising kids meals, is completely insulting to any breathing human being......especilly to women, as once again dancing women showing their "square" butts instead of the other as in the rap video. i am really surprised, and maybe i just don't know about it, there has not been an uproar about it....

I think the complaints about this are completely insulting to any breathing human being.

2. I agree, and since it's directed at kids, that makes it even stranger.

I can't imagine who in charge over there thought it was a good idea...

5. All Burger King commercials are disturbing

I haven't seen this one, but it doesn't sound any better than the rest.

8. It's insulting because it's supremely stupid.

In fact, the ad is so idiotic, it fails to be sexist in any way, despite its best attempt.

11. It's sad. Children DO learn from their ambient environment.

I can't entirely blame people who claim Americans are lazy. Still a generalization on their part, but I have noted it is - to an extent - containing elements of truth.
