My professor made a good point yesterday

so Rintamaki's riding on the bus drifting off when he was violently awoken by the audacity of this Burger King ad:



IN SINGAPORE.

this is suggestive in so many ways. this really shatters our oh-so 'conservative asian image'. first of all, she looks like a blowup doll. secondly, 'IT'LL BLOW' is pretty huge and don't even get me started on the elongated 'burger' on the right. and 'IT'? call me a crazy feminist or whatever but this is bordering on objectifying women. and the fine print at the bottom reads 'Fill your desire for something long, juicy...'.

MY GOD. the SHEER audacity. someone's gonna lodge a complain soon, I can hear it.

but I am kinda hungry now.
