Burger King loves to be creeps, but they aren't in trouble for that. This time they are in trouble for their new "Crazy King" ad...
"The king is "crazy" and "insane," the medical types explain, because he wants to give away his sandwich for the low, low price of $3.99!
"I was stunned. Absolutely stunned and appalled," said Michael Fitzpatrick, executive director for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), one of the nation's largest mental-health advocacy organizations.
He called the ad "blatantly offensive" and hopelessly retrograde in its depiction of mental illness, adding that the commercial could lead to further stigmatization, the primary barrier for individuals to seek out treatment (Seattle Times)."
Seriously? Do we really need to think of the feelings of crazy people? Can you really be offended by this? Fucking stupid, and I hope Burger King doesn't listen to this shit. If you are fucking insane I very highly doubt that you sit near a TV and be like "Hey the King threw a chair through a window, damnit he is making fun of me...ahhhhhhh!"
People need to stop being so damn sensitive.
