You think it was done accidentally?

I have no idea, I assumed it was by accident since Burger King is a "family" targeted business.. Horrible either way!

I can't imagine it was anything but deliberate at some level. It might have been the ad agency that did it on purpose and the Burger King approvals process fell down on the job, or maybe it was smirks and winks all the way up the chain.

Yup.

Also Yup.

Also, could they make her look any more like a blow up doll?

That's actually a human? I thought it WAS a blow-up doll.

O'Hara has trouble distinguishing sometimes.

At first I thought it was a human. And then I thought it was a RealDoll/blow-up doll. Then I found this plain version of the ad:

Here you go

and am now guessing it's a human.

Now I'm wondering what would be tackier: human or doll.
And wondering if she/it is wearing a wig.
And thinking I'm thinking about this too much.
I think I do not like the ad.

Yep. Human for sure. How fucking awful all around.

Marketing people and graphic designers for advertising are dirty birds. This was 110% deliberate.

Heh, and you're talking about it.
And at least one person who's read this post will crave BK and go for it in the next couple of days.

Job well done.

Like I said, no such thing as bad publicity. ;D

no way, this was calculated and deliberate. Burger king has been trying to target the 'teenage boy' demographic for a while now, and this is just one in a series. They might not realize that they're turning off every woman who might ever want to eat there.

BK has been a huge FAIL in the marketing department for a while now, what's up with that super creepy king dude?

But... I don't want sex in my hamburger. Or hamburger in my sex. Nor did I when I was a teenager.

There's a Burger King ad with Padma Lakshmi in it that may make you want to have a burger AND sex.

/Mmmm, Padma. Would hit that like the fist of an angry god were she into chicks.

No, all it would do is turn me off of Padma Lakshmi.
