Ads for fast food kids' meals usually try to appeal to children. Not the child in all of us, actual children. Burger King's new Kids' Meal ad doesn't just try to appeal to the parents in the room who don't care about their child's cholesterol intake. Its choice of music tries to appeal to the parents who are deaf.
The ad features a new rendition of Sir-Mix-A-Lot's classic big butt anthem "Baby Got Back" that talks about how he now "likes square butts and cannot lie." The Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood isn't as amused and has started a letter writing campaign against the restaurant chain and the Nickelodeon network to express their disgust for cubed booty.
Michael Scott, Regional Manager for Dunder-Mifflin Paper,
Inc. has his own playlist on iTunes. It makes sense, since The Office is huge for NBC on iTunes. His playlist
is called, Michael Scott's Valentine's Day Romantic Playlist. It's creepy and stuck in the '80s. Just like
Michael. The songs are what you'd expect Michael to play on his stereo as he pours you a Zima and hands you one of
those kissing teddy bears from Hallmark. Songs include Take My Breath Away, In Your Eyes, Mambo
No. 5, and Baby Got Back, which he calls "old skool hip-hop". My favorite, though, is Take
On Me where he writes, "I love pretty much everything A-Ha ever did. But this is their best." Get it?
Because A-Ha was a one-hit-wonder a long, long time ago.
