A new advertising campaign from Burger King that marries SpongeBob and women with square buts hasn’t been well received in all quarters.
The ad campaign sees The Burger King “King” singing “I love square butts” surrounded by women shaking their square butts in an effort to promote a Burger King Kids Meal that comes with a SpongeBob SquarePants toy. Lyrics include the line “I wanna git wit’cha, cause you’re makin’ me richer.”

I saw it last night. Bizarre indeed. The spongebob reference was rather twisted as well.

Every bit as creepy as the Burger King cologne ad.
Except this time targeted at children.

It’s selling kiddie dinners with sexual moves and suggestive, or may I say grotesque manners.
What the hell were they thinking?

At least Starkist has stopped advertising tuna tacos (yes, they had an ad with a soccer mom getting her kids from practice)

There ads have been increasingly more vulgar.
The “dad” whopper intimating to the “son” whopper
that he should use a condom.
People are so tolerant, and just say, “ oh you are
imagining things “. Sure, right. Do not eat there.
That will help change this.
To: billygoatgruff
Frankly, if I ate at BK, my butt would be big and spongy too.
Look, why ARE we surprised by this indecent advertisement, really. I am becoming so not surprised by the manure this country is serving up.

What the HELL people!?!? No kidding! Other than getting people to talk aabout the offensiveness of the ads, do they really expect this will increase sales by talking about kids butts to sell kids meals?

Burger King is one of my few vices. I don’t smoke or drink, but I love their hamburgers.

Brings to mind the JC Penny ad with the mother looking at her teenaged daughter trying on low rise jeans. And then helping the daughter to adjust them lower...

Not appropriate for a Kid’s Meal ad. My daughter had her first hamburger the other day at BK with her Grand-ma. She keeps telling me she wants to go back to King Burger.
To: JoeProBono
I guess this is what their research has determined will sell to black, inner-city audiences.
It's like 1993, again. Hollywood and Madison Avenue, thrilled to at last have one of their own countercultural soul-mates in office, greatly accelerated a race to the bottom in standards and content. I guess they think with Obama in office it's now safe to dial things down a few more notches.

Nice, a good message to teach our children, LOOK AT MY BUTT.
I mean yes, that song was cute in Shrek in the little clip as a Karaoke wedding song. And yes, Spongebob has a square butt.
However it seems some morons in the board room who doesn’t have children thought this was sooooo clever, and it might be. To a college student. Not your target audience there Burger Lame.

I get a bad craving for a Whopper with Cheese once about every 3-4 months. But when you get food there, have you noticed that you have that BK smell until the next shower?
