• Burger King Does Brazil

  
  Everything's Better With Brentter — Authority: 100
  After years of trying to find a way to connect their American fast food brand with South American consumers, I think it’s safe to say that Burger King has finally done it with their latest campaign ~ The King In Brazil. These are so bad I don’t know where to start. In this first one [...]

  Good thing we made reference to him being a real person who works at the company or else this might be a commercial featuring a racial stereotype. Luckily the taste of the product will serve to keep people away. Yesh. Tagged: Bad advertising--no biscuit, Stereotypes
