Burger King condemned by conservative group for using ‘the d-word’ in ad campaign

[Ringel05]

Most everyone, most everywhere is going to be offended by something, somewhere.

I agree, but on the other hand, if the goal is to attract customers to a business, saying and doing things that will most likely be offensive is not the way to make such a thing take place.

God bless you always!!!

Holly

"Damn" is offensive nowadays? It is 2020 after all...........

Some people never change and at the end of the day, why should they? What enhancements exactly have actually brought an improvement to a person's picture?

God bless you always!!!

Holly

Kinda missed my point........ Didn'tcha.......

Conservative ‘moms’ group blasts Burger King ad for using the ‘D-word’
By THERESA BRAINE




“Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, profanity does upset us” could be the new jingle for Burger King’s plant-based Impossible Whopper, at least as far as a conservative mothers’ group is concerned.

Proving that there’s no such thing as bad publicity, the Impossible Whopper got a boost when a meat-loving customer in an ad waxed a little too enthusiastic about the meatiness of his veggie burger.

“Damn, that’s good,” he intoned in a blink-and-you-miss-it moment during a montage of reactions from satisfied customers.

One Million Moms went ballistic at the use of what they dubbed the “D-word.”



“The language in the commercial is offensive, and it’s sad that this once family restaurant has made yet another deliberate decision to produce a controversial advertisement instead of a wholesome one,” One Million Moms said in a statement. “In the Burger King commercial that is currently airing on TV, customers’ responses are being videoed as they taste-test the Impossible Whopper. One man is completely shocked that the burger is not beef, so he uses the d-word to describe how he feels about himself for being deceived by the taste of the burger.”

The clip goes by so quickly that the word would have barely been noticeable if One Million Moms hadn’t gotten their knickers in a twist. But they said the customer could have gotten his message across with less strongly worded language, and did not see his exclamation as born of enthusiasm.

“One Million Moms finds this highly inappropriate. When responding to the taste test, he didn’t have to curse,” the group said. “Or if, in fact, it was a real and unscripted interview in which the man was not an actor, then Burger King could have simply chosen to edit the profanity out of the commercial.”

One Million Moms is a subsidiary of the American Family Association, which the Southern Poverty Law Center has flagged as an extremist group. The moms group is known for launching “frequent campaigns against advertisers they don’t agree with or against advertisers whose ads appear associated with television programs and movies they don’t agree with,” the SPLC said in 2017 in a report about the group’s anti-LGBTQ campaigns, citing the group’s stated goal of stopping “the exploitation of our children, especially by the entertainment media (TV, music, movies, etc.)” and to purge said media of the “immorality, violence, vulgarity and profanity” that it flings at America’s kids.

Last month, One Million Moms was part of a campaign to purge Hallmark Channel movies of same-sex-partnership portrayals. Hallmark initially pulled ads for wedding planning website Zola.comthat depicted two brides kissing at the altar, then reversed its decision, with an apoolgy.

Where in the hell were these moms when Trump was calling NFL players Son of a bitches, where have they been when he goes on these profanity laced tirades at his Klan rallies. You talk about a group of hypocrites.

Its funny you loons loath Corporations to the point of insanity, but if they piss off a Conservative its lovey dovey time. By the way the only time Klan rallies ever drew the crowds that Trump does was back when they were the militant arm of the Democratic party.

A Conservative Moms Group Is Really Upset Burger King Used The 'D-Word' In An Ad

On Friday, the conservative group issued a press release arguing that Burger King should be “more responsible in its marketing decisions” since families were likely watching television during the times the commercial aired.
the commercial, multiple people try the plant-based Impossible Whopper, including a man who says of the burger, “Damn, that’s good.” The ad has been out since August, when the product launched.

“The language in the commercial is offensive, and it’s sad that this once family restaurant has made yet another deliberate decision to produce a controversial advertisement instead of a wholesome one,” the statement said. “Burger King’s Impossible Whopper ad is irresponsible and tasteless. It is extremely destructive and damaging to impressionable children viewing the commercial.”

''The petition to remove or edit the ad had over 9,000 digital signatures on Monday, according to the group’s website.''

Sound like collectivists to me.

 

[Natural Citizen]

I wonder what the 'conservative' women's group thinks about this.

 

[DGS49]

Any mother who does not try to manage the language of her offspring is negligent.

The decision to use vulgar language is personal and private, and should be exercised with discretion.

Burger King is wrong and should change the ad. The sentiment could be expressed as well or better using other words.

This is also the same group that twisted their knickers up against the Hallmark Channel about a barely 1.2 second kiss by two women in another commercial. Honestly, this is 2020. I actually had to replay the commercial three times to see the kiss.

I had a couple of Burger King's tacos when they were pushing them, back before the estrogen burger.

Damn, they were nasty. Worst tacos I've ever had, and I've have alot of tacos. Burger King used to be good when they had their $1.00 Whoppers on Sundays, back in the 80's.

But I'd never eat there now. Damn, that's nasty. Damn. Just Damn.

Smfh. That makes about as much sense as you do.

Trump rallies that just don't wear the hoods, but they have the same mindset as the sheet wearers.
