Pardon my fast food rant. It’s late. And I’m hungry.*

What ad agency is Burger King relying on for their current ad campaign? The last few campaigns have been downright disgusting.

There was the Western Whopper which makes you grow a mustache. Who in the hell wants a mustache from eating a burger? That so does not make me want to run right out and get me one of those.

And now they have these infuriating commercials for the Steakhouse burger. Apparently you have to do something exception to be deserving of a Steakhouse burger or else you get slapped or called names. Seriously?!? It’s a fucking hamburger from a fast food joint. It costs what $4.59 when you buy it with a large fry and drink. Give me a break.

I stopped eating at Hardee’s because they gear their advertising towards men. Which would be fine if they didn’t also alienate women in the process. But their advertising made it very clear that they just want big, hungry men to come eat at their restaurant. So I was more than happy to let them have them. I wonder if that’s why many of their restaurants have closed. Coincidence? I think not.

Now Burger King is getting on my damn nerves with their stupid commercials. They aren’t funny. They are just ridiculous. I thought the point of advertising was to convince people to come spend money on your crap. I guess that concept was lost on the fast food chains.

    I am with you. It seems like they think – if we make it annoying, it will be memorable. Ummm Yeah, but it won’t make me want to eat there!

    I agree. It seems these days that advertisers will do whatever it takes to get you to look up at your television to see their ad. It does nothing for me … except maybe the opposite of what they’re hoping for.

    However, I’m really hungry and fast food sounds really good right now.
