Burger King Presents... Singing In The Shower

I DON'T like today's thing/k.

The reason for sharing it is that it actually follows the thing/k 'rhythm' that I usually like: Insight -> Idea -> Results.

But it's doing it in an "abusive" way.

Burger King's ad department cooked up a new crazy ad campaign to get men in the UK interested in breakfast. Every morning at 9:30 AM, Burger King broadcasts a young woman dancing in a bikini in the shower and singing songs.

How does Burger King explain this (sexist) campaign? Here's where the 'abused' rhythm comes in:

INSIGHT: according to a Burger King spokesman - "Our research showed that breakfast is a male-centric audience for Burger King; it doesn't resonate as well with women - we are targeting the people who are buying breakfast."

IDEA: well, you know it by now. http://www.burgerking.co.uk/showercam

RESULTS: What do you think? Is it cool? Sexist? Makes you want a breakfast?

Anyway, this is definitely not the Subservient Chicken(http://www.bk.com/en/us/campaigns/subservient-chicken.html.

Now, before you click away to the New Year, I thought to finish this year with my favorite thing/k for 2009.

It's an unbelievable, eccentric, weird banner… The "Can Hands" banner, created for Procter & Gamble's Pringles, received the prestigious Gold Cyber Lion at the 2009 Cannes Lions Awards. Here it is, one more time:
