Thesis:
The first omission of this Burger King ad is that it has a large picture of a woman with her mouth wide open ready to “blow” the sandwich, insinuating oral sex. Mark Duffy, a critic interviewed by Fox News says, “It appears the woman’s face in the advertisement has been retouched to make it look like a doll…” (1). It is a disgrace to all women seeing this person on this sexual advertisement, Burger king is comparing a sandwich to a woman during oral sex, it is completely ridiculous. Duffy also states, “The advertisement is among the ‘worst’ he’s ever seen in more than 17 years of industry experience” (1). I could not agree more; I have never seen an ad like this in my life. The second I saw it, my eyes were drawn to the big letters and to the person who looks like a blow up doll. Mark Crispin Miller, also another interviewee for Fox News told them, “It’s not that good even as food, and therefore nowhere near as gratifying as an orgasm” (2). There is no doubt in my mind that the sandwich is no good, since it has been processed with many chemicals that can harm our body.
You use your sources really well, I like how they point out how it is offensive to many women. The ad itself is interesting, since it is fast food it is awkward to see it insinuating oral sex. In this body paragraph two more sentences of how the chemicals harm your body would have made it better, could have used examples from Fast Food Nation. Overall, great points.
ReplyDeleteThat annotation you added made me realize that the woman on ther does look like a doll and I didnt realize that earlier. But I disagree that its a disgrace to all women because its some freaky one out there in the world that'll fine this advertisement appeasing. I like the way that you structured your body paragraph and making it stay on topic with the thesis.
