Wow, words cannot describe how wrong this ad campaign is
 

hahaha.

This is why non-American people hate America.

wtf


how did they make the burgers there?

helicopters
+
a carton of cherry ripes

a man can do anything

oh, it's not porn.

That's fucking bizarre. I don't need someone from a another culture to tell me whether Burger King is nice, I fucking decide that. I wonder if they'll actually be taken to America and go to an actual Burger King and be served by greasy teenagers.

will we see a single person say they dont?!

what if they went all the way to thailand, found the single person who never ate a hamburger before, offered him one and he just says 'no thank you...'

They obviously won't give them the ordinary burger you or I might be served. The burger they're going to get is going to be fucking gourmet.

yehh i never thought of that
i fucking love whoppers and to imagine what these whoppers will taste like is out of this world

pretend you were raised in the rainforest and never had a burger before, they might give you one.

i have the look for it
now i just need to convince them

pretend to talk some language no one knows and wear leaves. can't go wrong.

I can't imagine Americans ever trusting the taste of people who eat seal meat or fried bugs (and then wash them down with a bit of snake blood).

Anyway, it's a shame they didn't dare to go to the Andaman Islands.


The Andamese kill every intruder who comes within arrow range, even those who are bringing hamburgers.

edit:
Need to correct myself - Andamanese is a collective term for all the indigenous islanders, it's only the Sentinelese who shoot invaders.

Yeah but once they've had just one bite they'll welcome Americans with open arms.

and all get morbidly obese when one burger restaurant after the other opens there, causing them to stop hunting and just have junkfood every day.

Yay!!

Or, they may prefer to eat the person delivering the whopper instead of the whopper itself.

and then welcome the americans with open arms.

open arms and a pot on the stove.

'welcome! welcome you and your good meat!'

or an open stove with arms in the pot?

sounds kinky....

i feel very naive for not thinking about those connotations.

your obsessions with virginity now extend to the hamburger world-- wow!

but anyway yeah, that's sick-- however-- it's an interesting take on the perpetual debate between "the evils of modernity vs the good old times".

i tend to side with modernity-- i've lived in the good old times and they weren't good (outhouses are horrible).

i'd propose however that the subjects not only get a taste test but also get their cholesterol levels measure, body fat, pancreatic function, etc.

o wait, didn't we have that done already?

those chubby cheeks will soon be blighted by diabetes

I don't see it as modern times VS old times, so much as the fingers of corporate exploitation reaching further and further.

the rural people live in "old times", pastoral settings, no electricity, what have you. think of the amish.

burger king is a product of our post-capitalist, urbanized, progress-oriented, tech-intensive consumer society. (have you ever seen kooyanisqatsi?)

the conflict of city vs. country or corrupt present vs. idyllic past is a theme of poetry and philosophy and even politics dating back to the greeks and possibly beyond-- who knows what pangs of conscience the first city dwellers had.

exploitation? fingers? i dont know.

my dad who grew up in the amazon jungle tasted his first coca-cola at age 12 and he claims it was INCREDIBLE.

you thought they were shoving burgers in their vages or something?

hahaha lamont
