Extremely Patronising Promotional Image of the Weeeek

Burger King's had an idea about how to promote its great-tasting, flame-grilled, reconstituted-meat products - getting some foreign people to look happy while munching down on one.

It's an exciting meal, because they're FOREIGN and Burger King is GLAMOROUS.



We should probably say something meaningful about globalisation and the evils of marketing, but we're no 'Bill Hicks' and find it difficult to vocalise disgust.



She's smiling now, but she hasn't bitten down into the "meat" yet. And she'll be livid when grease runs up her arm and stains her lovely llama fleece.

Check out the crazy reverse burger grip on the top one. I'll have to try that.

Marks for execution: 2/6

As you can see, Steve, he's having trouble turning the burger far enough for a nice, square finish. He's about to take off a lot of the upper bun's crust, in fact, and we know the judges don't like that at all.

I'm with the first Anonymous ... in the top shot we're actually witnessing two off-screen figures engaged in a tug-of-war over the burger. Your man in the poncho has seized the opportunity to spring up from behind the table for a cheeky bite.

If I'm not mistaken, the top photo also has a McDonalds brand "Big Mac(tm)", waiting in reserve for when he's finished his backward hands burger.

What kind of marketing is this? Or has Burger King introduced a burger with three "bread" segments?

wv: urafra - The noise the man from Leprechaunia is making whilst eating.
