Perhaps it is indictative of some sort of lack of social skills, intelligence or lack of something else. Sounds like Bk has recruited their copywriters from a frat house.

The odd thing is they probably think it is an ad that should appeal to women because they probably think this is sexy and funny to women. You have to admit, while you are writing to the company and also not taking your kids there, that the dumb a$$e$ at Burger King are hilariously entertaining in their stupidity while committing brand suicide with 52% of the population.

Instead, they should air only Wendy's, McDonald's, Taco Bell, and other honorable fast food places. I really liked what people said over the Letterman protests - write the companies and tell them to stop airing their commercials on his show. We can do the same in reverse. Advertising really does affect the consumer population. I've noticed this a lot at work as a cashier. Due to Wendy's commercials, more spicy chicken sandwiches and more coffee toffees have been sold than any other product since those commercials began. An unexpected side-effect is that men order the spicy chicken and women order the coffee toffees. Some results aren't planned, but the sexism in BK's advertising is so obvious that it is clear they know what they're doing. They know they're being vile sexists.
