YOU are a man. Anyway, you're missing the point ...... which is that the commercials are inappropriate for the target audience. Children. Why must we target the young and vulnerable? They grow up too quickly even without being exposed to smarmy ad campaigns. You just don't get it, Axx...... LoL...I think I've made it pretty clear that "I don't get it..." Also, I think its pretty clear that the commercial is not targeted towards children. Plus BK has said that it is not targeted at children. It targeted at adults to buy a regular meal and they can get their kids a 99cent value meal. But either way...its funny...and my kids thought so too.

Yes many ad campaigns are really gross nowadays, although I haven't seen this particular BK commercial. But I don't have the time or energy to boycott every enterprise that I may find disagreeable. If I was to do that I would be one busy lady! IMO all this energy could be promoting the Gosple and witnessing to people, not finding something to get all bent out of shape about. Several years ago I had a friend who decided to boycott a large company that made many different household products because she read in a christian magazine that the ceo was a member of the satanic cult. So she decided to buy other products from another company, guess what....she found something wrong with that one too. Like Axxman said and was quite funny.....if I began to boycott everything that had something wrong I would have to boycott myself...and boy that would be interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 100 other choices for fast food. Nope...its not hard at all. And if BK did something offensive I would do just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure I've taken a few shots across the bow here...but I took them in a light-hearted way. I think too many people take it way too seriously, instead of just interacting. I know other threads have been worse...but again...its on the person reading the post to do everything they can to try and read "no offense" in the message. Its too easy to misunderstand the intent of a post. I honestly believe we would all love the heck outta each other if we were to ever meet (even the libs...lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I THOUGHT we were, but I'm the one supporting the sinning Christians, so what do I know LOL...now see...that was funny. We all support people who sin...thats the point I was trying to make. I'm not going to boycott one store who makes mistakes, in favor of another store that makes mistakes. In your opinion, BK messed this one up, and you took offense...I get that. But, I just don't understand the concept of boycotting a place over something like this. Especially in light of the fact that no place is perfect. BK would pratically have to come out with a pro-abortion, kill all Christians commercial to get me to stop eating there. A spongebob squarepants commercial isn't even on my radar of boycottable offenses. Either way...I'm sorry if you thought I was getting on your case...it wasn't meant to be like that.
