Fast Food’s Offensive Ads

Burger King releases yet another offensive ad.

After offending women with a sexist advertisement last month, Burger King has now offended Hindus with an ad depicting a deity who’s dangerously close to a meat-based sandwich. In the ad, the Hindu goddess Lakshmi floats above what looks to be a sandwich with ham and cheese—all of which are animal-derived ingredients that strict Hindus never consume. The ad suggests that the Hindu goddess condones and eats meat and the depiction has angered many Hindus. Burger King has withdrawn the poster and has apologized to the Hindu community. With all the focus on BK’s advertising and not on its goods, the company’s food must be as tasteless as its ads.
