I am no prude but this is outrageous to make a statement like this on a cup! We don't need messages like this on the side of a fast food drink! Has anyone else seen this or reported it? I went on Burger King's web page for an address, but all they have is a Customer Relations phone number which I plan to call tomorrow. I took a picture of it, but don't know how to post it here. If someone knows how, I can email it to you. Starbucks was called on their statements on cups, I think BK needs to know that we don't need smut on their cups either.

1. Take a nice deep breath.

2. They're talking about the cup lid, not clothing.

I wouldn't be so upset...if they were an equal opportunity offender, though can't think of a slam at men.

My understanding is that most beverages are offered in "decaf" form.

Maybe you should try it.

I think the slogan is kind of cute.

dump the pic into Photobucket.com then get its IP address, which will allow you to post it with HTML tags.

Wow...to go "there" at the sight of the word 'topless'...Seeing it in the context as given, my mind didn't even think about going "there" until steered by your observation...

Funny thing, my 11 year old daughter sees the Starbucks chick as topless and giggles every time she sees it. Opened my eyes.

This is what I was arguing about on a thread I posted earlier today.

A huge number of people who post here have no kids and are puerile boys with low IQ.

I doubt they've ever come close to a real woman.

"What do you see?
Interestingly, research has shown that young children cannot identify the intimate couple because they do not have prior memory associated with such a scenario. What they WILL see, however, is the nine dolphins in the picture."

Pay no attention to those who think it's not that serious.

Like tallhappy said, It's representative of the hypersexualization that's taken place in media and advertising. It is well debatable whether or not to be "upset".

Well, I agree that is was indeed a stupid thing to say and Burger King needs to seriously rethink this motto.
