Sinful Persuasion
Advertisements are sinful smut. Save for Christianmingle.com they all violate The Lord and His Word. An advertisement that exemplifies this heathenism is this advertisement for the Memphis BBQ Burger from Hardee's and Carl's Jr. This is a television commercial from 2012 created by the Los Angeles/Amsterdam based advertisement company 72andSunny. The advertisement is for a burger that the fast food chain was releasing. This burger featured Memphis-style pulled pork BBQ on top of a charbroiled patty.
To advertise this, the company had two young women compete at a BBQ cook. The scantily clad women are at first opposed to one another, even jostling each other around a little bit. Eventually, the cat fight leads to a mixing of meats, and some pulled pork lands on a burger. The two woman immediately go from fighting to feeding, as they both consume burgers larger than their heads, but not their bosoms.
This lustful filth uses lust to sell the burger. The company might as well be selling these young ladies bodies, as they put them on display like a dress in a window. The only difference is that these woman are not dressed, but wearing bikinis and jean shorts that hardly cover their ample, taut bottoms. This advertisement uses the women as condiments for the burgers — making the viewer crave the females as much as, if not more than, the burger. After the girls mix meats, the ad gets very sexual, which makes the viewer want to mix meats with the girls (wink wink). In fact, the tag line, "BBQ's Best Pair," refers as much to the meat as is does to the women and their exquisite breasts.
This advertisement is for anyone who loves two kinds of meat on one bun. It is also for people who love ladies and watching at them almost kiss about three times. This advertisement is for all economic classes. Although the fast food chain is not an upscale food place, the sight of two ladies almost fighting and then almost doin' it can make any tax bracket want to put some meat in their mouth. The people that are intended to watch this ad are not offended by bicurious bar-b-quers, otherwise know as bar-bi-queers. This people are aware of how arousing it is to watch ladies get it on. If one was not aware that it is pleasurable to view woman fool around, one would be confused on the purpose of the advertisement, and also why the chefs had on such little clothing. The author uses many innuendos, be them visual or verbal. The sexual overtones mask the fact that, in ernest, the Memphis BBQ Burger is a disgusting piece of crap that will quickly kill you. Furthermore, since this ad is so strongly geared toward a particular group of people, males age 8-108, one can assume that Hardee's and Carl's Jr. do not attract a strong female audience, which makes their advertisements disregard them totally. This advertisement manipulates the audience, as the sexy scenes encourage pork-pulling and create the assumption that, if the consumer buys the burger, he will share a sensual moment with Miss Sara Jean Underwood and/or Miss Emily Ratajkowski (Quick Fact: I didn't have to Google their names). This commercial is only effective at forcing me to remain seated for a few moments after it goes off screen.
