You're observation is well founded. We are indeed experiencing the further "Pussification of America"

Hey Mex:

Get your own hamburger stand and get your own HEALTH-CARE system while you're at it !!!!

We'll send barry over for a couple of bows after he finishes up in Iran.

And ten DVDs......(hopefully they'll be the right region this time!)

they need to get a life that taco bell dog was not degrading I guess they probably did not like the movie about the little dog eather

Who Cares?? Mexico doesn't respect the United States! Keep up the good work Burger King! I think I'll go out and buy a whopper today just to show my support!

If they truely had any self respect their country wouldn't be such as mess.

I liked the Jack In the Box reply to a Taco Bell spot that featured a chihuahua promoting their products. Hispanic leaders complained but Jack looked over to the chihuahua and said 'you're a dog, you'll eat anything.'

It all started when they pulled the 'frito bandito'. Yet I do respect them for showing more homage to their flag than billy ayers and all his buddies.

All Illegal Aliens should return home immediately in protest to this ad.

Of course they should stay there also.

The "pussification" goes well with the dickification.

I have seen videos of people with Mexican backgrounds putting the Mexican flag above our flag on the flagpole in this country but I have not seen national coverage of that. I would like to see that addressed as well. If the "Mexican" officials are serious about this they should tell their countrymen Not to disrespect our flag as well. We didn't go to their country and do this. and they have the option of not letting the ad run in Mexico. They should Not have the option of telling us what we can do in our country.

Biggerthebetter, this is an example of one of the Americans problems, everything has got to become vulgar.  I agree the illegals should return home, the sooner the better.  However, I'll state, Americans need to get back to being plain human beings and quit making everything about boosing, sex, and seeing how vulgar you/we can make our language.

I'm off my soapbox and stand by what I said.  If you don't believe it, pay attention to what you see.

F**k mexico...

Wa, wa, wa... I'm going to buy a whopper today!

Does anyone here get offended by the Mexican flag waving and the billions wasted on ilegals? After the tea party, we should have a round up!

Hmm...I guess they want to replace the old stereotype with a new one - that of a whiny and childish liberal. Wow - not really an upgrade is it?

I usually buy one every week or two...now I may buy one 3 times a week...long live the King!.

Pussification is MY word!

Plagiarists!

Back to the topic: Imagine if Americans took offense to all the humorous, "stereotypical", USA debasing ads televised in Europe or Japan, or any other country/continent for that matter!

Aw damn, what am I saying?

Now Obama will start a multi-billion dollar campaign to rid the world of humor!

Hmm...I guess they want to replace the old stereotype with a new one - that of a whiny and childish liberal. Wow - not really an upgrade is it?

The problem is they would have to make it a Tofu Burger because these types don't eat real meat-it's cruel to cows.

Bill, Thunderproof.. great post....I don't see them getting angry about America educating their illegals and paying for their benefits... Not to mention they have destroyed every city they live in. They hang out like fleas on corners dealing drugs or figuring out how to cheat the system.

Actually this diplomat is correct. Instead of a little man in a Mexican pro-wrestling outfit it should have been a big man in camo, with a bandana over his face, carrying an AK-47, stuffing drugs into the burger meat, while robbing the cowboy.

Screw Mexico! They have not earned the right to make a statement about a darn thing! They should fix their own corrupt and collapsing country and not waste time continuing to blame all others for their well earned misfortune.

Mexico needs to deal with the drug dealers who run the country and watch less TV...

if Barry has his way America will be bowing to everyone.. Tell Mexico to shove it where the sun dont shine.. They whine about all the guns coming into their country but yet they keep sending all the illegals here to this country.. I say for ever illegal they stop we might stop a gun.. Kind of like the Movie Sahara with Bogart.. He told the Germans I will trade one quart of water for every gun. Same deal only illegals..

bush is the one who opened the borders and encourage the saudi family

but it's ok to stereotype an American as a cowboy? lol

downwith..., aside from being ignorant on your first point, and left me confused about your second point, great post.

If they like their flag so much, why are they always trying to come here?

Shouldn't this really be "the offical flag of the drug cartells"?

I rember an ad from mexico for a bureto place there that used the us flag. So if they cant take a joke screw them

Hilarious description of the ad, haven't seen it yet but BK has been doing a good job of that lately. Too bad I've stopped eating most fast food since the elimination of trans fats....that stuff was the equivalent of crack.

Funny, I don't hear any complaints about Burger Kings absurd depiction of a european monarch.

Get a life Mexico.

Where's their sense of humor? For goodness sake it's only a burger ad!

Don't they have any bigger problems than this to worry about?

This is really silly and just shows the mentality of the people who are objecting to it.

Bottom line: Burger King is an American Company doing what they do best - portraying a sense of humor through their advertising!

I agree with the person above who said I think I'll go out and have a Whopper today just to show my solidarity.

@ downrwithfrenzies

and obama is the one who wants to make them legal. moron...

I bet they wouldn't complain if it was a catburger.

Well if they don't like that outfit maybe BK should dress them in the same type of garb they wear when they sneak under fences or cross rivers trying to get in the USA. You will get respect when you stop entering into our country illegally.

This ad is no different than portraying a Black man as a monkey. Shame on all of you for failing to relate these two examples which are degrading in both thought and practice.

I thought this country was supposed to push for equality and justice for all? With your comments, you are all hypocrites and enemies of the United States progress.

The real problem isnt the add the problem is the that this disscussion is happing, what Mexico is complaining about is this could be offensive to some people in Mexico, and for some reason, we have are no longer a country ruled by our majority but a country that is so worried about the minoritys that we are considering them befor we consider the view of the majority of the people that are in our country. we have gotten to a point in this country that we are so worried about a minority of the population that we dont care about weather or not that we offend the majority of the people in the prosses of "protecting" the minority from hurt fellings, BK made a joke, It was pointed at the diffrences in sizes of our to countrys Major "hero" figures of lore. Them mexican wrestler that is portrayed is normaly a small fast man, performing areal stunts while the amarican cow boy eg John Wayn is a tall man who taller than most men. It is time that we all got over self and made an omlet rather then crying about breaking a few eggs. I for one would like a south of the border omlet, with lots of swiss chesse, with a side of amarican fries, served by a 400 lbs black woman with 8 children with 8 diffrent fathers.:)

Chappy,

Again, how would the ad be welcomed if it portrayed a Black man as an ape? Or perhaps, an ad that says "a hamburger with the delicacy of a queer"? These statements in any ad would be an outrage. Why then is it ok for it to target Mexicans?

These stereotypes in the name of humor lead to problems later and cannot be permissible.

hossridr,

I think you just screwed yourself.

A concerned citizen-448031 - I guess you're playing the stereotypical liberal then..thanks for playing.

The sheer ignorance I've read on here is astounding.  Nothing but stereotypes are being thrown around.  How about instead of bashing Mexico and its citizens you get up off your ass and do something to make your country a better place?  I have yet to see the spreading of hate accomplish anything.

musicjunkie - Take your own advice - get off your *butt*, leave, and make this country a better place.

Apparently people are so sensitive NOW, every nationality is chomping at the bit to cry RACISM!

I used to say in jest, "I hate people!"

These days, I say it with sincere cynicism.

These softy's would be well advised to add a little humor to their lives.

I am of Irish descent, I live in South Florida, and I would be willing to bear the brunt of any stereotype you'd care to hurl my way.

I can take it!!!

There's an old saying: "Sticks and stones may break my bones but stereotypes will never hurt me"......................or something to that effect.

Man up you bunch of pussified whiners!!!!!

ClintHorace,

Have you ever stopped to think that maybe it is the act of racism that is committed as much as the claims of racism?

What?

musicjunkie - Regarding your comment 1.42:

"How about instead of bashing Mexico and its citizens you get up off your ass and do something to make your country a better place?"

I agree I think we should round up all of their citizens residing illegally in the US and march them out en masse and then mine the border. That would be doing something.

Maybe to enhance this effort we could force those on the welfare rolls to do some the work involved. Despite the potential benefits, that's probably even less like than the first idea.

OMG. That ad is horrible. Why, if I were from south of the border I would pack up all my stuff in a paper bag and run home to Mexico and stay there.

Scrooge2: LMAO!!! Love the sarcasm!

burger king has put out some bad ads lately, has anyone see the one with the rapper/square butt spongebob one? Really bad taste. They need to fire whoever does their ads. And if you live in the good ole U.S.A it should be illegal to fly another country's flag over ours. Alot of people don't know this but STIHL( maker of chainsaws) flies the german flag OVER the U.S flag everytime a german bigwig comes to town and I think that is wrong. If you want to live/ do business in this country OUR flag comes first

My thoughts exactly

Your so right. Other countries show so much disrespect to our flag, burning it, spitting on it, but god forbid you havew a guy in a costume that resembles a flag ( not an actual flag itself ) and the whole world goes batty. People need to lighten up and have some fun.

First, didn't they say they contacted 'Spain' the Corp HQ??

They have enough respect that millions run from it to the US every year. Yeah, that's really respectful.

I didn't hear the b*&%*ing about Clinton signing legislature to send companies and jobs to them!! (remember NAFTA????)

Get over it Mehico and bring your citizens back where they belong if youdon't like the way the US represents you!!

Hold up, you guys from this posting on up are all screwed up.. This ad if you would of read it with a deeper understanding is more examples of the destabalization that we the US perform on Latin America all the time.. We want Brazil in our back pockets as the next industrialized nation that is up and coming so this ad pokes at Mexico thru a cowbow (don't get me started on where cowboys came from) while using a plug about Brazil as to incite Mexico and Brazil.. The fact is they are family and friends at the end of the day.. Sure we have alot of greedy mofo's right here in America licking their chops to want to go and exploit their countries because they got their fill ripping up citizens off for these many years, but they are going to make it difficult.. Look beyond the finger pointing and read the political message..  And watch what you say about Spain!! its in much better shape than we or even half of the European Union both current and historically.. Bet you guidos would have a fit if they started portraying this same ad with an Italian flag, only in silence and alot of news about people coming up dead...grow up..

Yes, our prez is one of those greedy mofo's.

Oh please.... Everyone else can put there flag on there houses, an even raise the loser - insurgent flag (Confederate Flag). But let someone raise there flag from a country we dont like, then its some sort of disrespect. All mexicans arent illegal, Bring this up when italians, irish, dutch, english, french, carribiean peoples raise their flag.

They come to our country and want to change it instead of staying in their own country and correcting their problems. Enough is enough. If they don't like the ads then don't eat at burger king. Stop trying to force our people to comply with you!!!!

Right on glicea,

At least some of us U.S. citizens have enough moral sense to counter the majority of these commentators ideology.

Down with racism.

Racism will never end until we learn to turn the other cheek and not take offense. Racism comes from people not strong enough to be proud of who they are no matter what anyone else says about them. It's easier to whine and feign injury so they can be pitied. Everyone needs to grow up and get a little thicker skin. Problem is, if we did, then what would all those organizations that "protect" minorities with their hefty salaries have to do all day? Think about it.

I saw the commercial, and it was silly but funny. They make funny commercials, as does Dairy Queen. If only they could've incorporated the Taco Bell Chihuahua. That's really all that was missing.

Anything with two characters of the same sex interacting is not automatically about "TEH GAYZ".

where do you get the idea it has anything to do with sexual orentation? i see no such thing in the add

Maybe Lu is thinking that the Mexican grabbed the Cowboy's burrito?

yes it does I will go get a whopper today as well and it has been at least 5 years since I went to BK

Was his Burrito a Whopper?

Whopper Jr, maybe.

LIBHTR - you officially owe me a cup of coffee 'cause mine just came flying out of my nose and landed on my keyboard.

Hmmm....I wonder who on MSNBC is on the board of directors at Burger King. Just drop a blurb on the net and Burger King pulls out way ahead of McDonald's. One way of influencing sales, right?

You live in a dream world. No suck up politician is going to do anything close to this----too many votes to be garnered. It seems that the ability to be re- elected is paramount even over the Constitution that these frauds are sworn to defend.

Interestingly enough, one of the major reasons Mexico doesn't want the millions upon millions of illegal immigrants who have snuck into the United States returned is the vast amount of money the illegals send back to Mexico. The sum of that steady income is quite substantial to the Mexican economy. While many of them may not SPEAK english very well, you may rest assured they can COUNT extremely well.

Here's a better idea... 7 mil out of work and 6 mil illegals working here... (and their families sucking on the government sugar-tit.) Do the math... send them all back! If this "brokeback cowboy" prez has his way, the illegals will keep the jobs they have... and Americans can find a job overseas I guess. NAFTA is only a symptom of the real problem. It's all about votes, power, and greed.

Amen, I'm tired of the whining. Go home and don't come back.I'm sick and tired of pathetic people with their hand out and then crying cause it's not enough!!!

Not only do they have our jobs and send there money back home, they get free education also, through Pell grants that none of my three children will qualify for. We have bigger things to worry about than silly commercials.

Fast food kills, but our near socialistic government hurts where it counts. Get ready, your spare couch may soon be occupied by "squatters".

GW,

You are indeed a bona fide moron.

You obviously know nothing about the economic benefits of NAFTA for the United States.

You want to close the border? That statement just goes to prove my first sentence of this comment.

Please stay in or go back to school.

Couldn't have said it better myself!!!!

They stay and we pay. It is becoming harder and harder to stay on the hard working honest side of the American way when our government makes it so easy to go the other way.

No cult....Maybe, that was the original intent....Run government the way Mexico does...total mass corruption and by drug dealers.

Here, here.

yea but the cowboy is a good stereotype. Little Mexican wrestler, not so much.

Really-if anyone should be protesting here is should be "little people"! Who's to say this coyboy isn't just "interacting" with his son though in his Spiderman cape??? It look more like a Spiderman cape than the Mexican flag! Maybe that politician has taken too many drugs though and is hallucinating.

Maybe Mexico should come up with a more original flag so it isn't mistaken for a Spiderman costume. the following countries have almost identical red, white and green flags (except the little logo) and we'll probably be hearing from them next to get a piece of the settlement: Please take a number and get in line:

BULGARIA, HUNGARY, IRAN, ITALY, MADAGASKAR, TAJIKISTAN.

(I also quit fast food generally but am willing to make an exception)

 That's a good one! But...NAW!! He just needed a li'l hep!!

Is it a Texan cowboy? Not sure on that one. Take a chill pill.

Spain is just another socialist country with 20+ percent unemployment and rioting whiners demanding jobs and housing from their government that were promised but never delivered on ..Depending on government for anything always leads to dissapointment .

I agree you get what you sow

Mystacall....My town has never had "gangs" until we had Hispanic illegals. Did you want to complain about that too?

Listen...It worked! Listen to the sound of millions of feet running South towards the border.......oh, wait, that's only us going to hold the door open, darn, Never mind......

Insulted over a thirty second commercial? Gimme a break! You want to know what's really insulting?...

There are over 15 million of your supposedly proud citizens illegally in the United States of America and you don't seem to be THE LEAST BIT INTERESTED IN TAKING THEM BACK! That is what I find INSULTING! Where's all that pride you claim Mexican people have? Where is all that pride you claim to have for your Mexican people?

Well said ThunderProof!
