Burger King Ad Sparks Outcry over Oral Sex Imagery

The new Burger King ad for the "BK Super Seven Incher" has hit the streets of Singapore, and is raising eyebrows across the Internet. Not surprising, as the ad blatantly suggests oral sex. Every headline I've seen so far has gone nuts with the imagery, cashing in on the very luridness they claim to censure.

Dan Mitchell had way too much fun writing about this:

They got two "blows" in there. Nice. The sandwich (by itself an obscenity), slathered in unnaturally ultra-white mayonnaise, is floating in the air directly across from the disturbingly pale profile of a young, gape-mouthed woman who looks frightened to death of the manly meat.

Actually, I'm not sure which goes farther: the ad itself, or the headlines of the stories discussing it. I mean, come on. Burger King Ad Sure Sucks, but Does It Swallow? is just rude.

I think the head line of the story goes farther. The author of the Reuters Article may have a vivid imagination. 

It does give BK some free adds though.
