  • The N.C. Double A or wut eva he said is for adults. fucking dick ass hat.

  • they say butt on the cartoon, and there are even spankings in it, how the crap is it being MORE sexualized?

  • spongebob is for everyone

  • I guess you could call them....butt hurt.

  • wow those people need to just take a chillass pill and calm down

  • oh my GOD they went up to a black male on the streets GOD of course he's not going to see anything indecent or bad about this commercial.. they have a one track mind. Next time go up to a white business man ( who actually works) with a family and ask him.

  • It even says it's for preschoolers on Jakks Pacific's website!

  • u know what i hate? there only focused on one thing. the point is to make you laugh and buy merchandise, what 6 year old really focused on dora shorts?

  • Fuck Joe Kelly!!!

    thumb up if you agreed.

  • Comment removed

  • Spongebob is a preschooler cartoon?

    Thank you, Joe Kelly and CBS, for showing us why an appeal to authority is a logical fallacy.

  • 00:24 Hey, I'm 14, and Spongebob is far beyond preschool material now. I saw 1 episode where spongebob is getting a birthday cake for Patrick, but the only one left has icing on it saying "Sorry about the Scabies." |-(

  • 1:02 yeah ask the foreign guy

  • Check out our remake of the BurgerKing Steakhouse Burger /watch?v=Xey1mW1wqf8

  • Fell for it hook line and sinker. Do they not realize that BK would know this commercial would cause an uproar and be the subject of all kinds of debate on TV? The kind of exposure this commercial got after it aired would cost millions.

  • i wanted to punch the guy in the face at 3:30

  • Yea that guy just needs to stop trying to get back at society and come out of the closet already.

  • omg GET OVER IT!!!!!!

  • My opinion is that it's decent to some and indecent to others, depending on how you were raised and where you grew up. On my mother's part of the family, it would be considered indecent and it displays a lack of self respect for women. Then again on my dad's side of the family, we'd all start dancing to it in the living room. It just depends on how you take the commercial. We can't stop them all.

  • think to yourself, "will this really influence kids in any way?"

    "no" is the correct answer

  • maybe is the correct answer.

  • Spongebob is for preschoolers? Last time I checked it was on nickelodeon and not on Nick Jr.

  • @SlytherinBlood I know the guys a J ' A

  • Then, in this light, we should expose all children to everything ever shown on tv or in any movie--graphic sex, violence, language; and the idea is "anything goes." As to exposing children to content, one has to take into consideration the age of the child, the understanding level of the child, ability to handle the content. It takes valued judment on the adult's part. I find judgment lacking in most people these days. Kids can't handle most adult content of what's on during their waking hours.

  • i didn't say that. i just said that not exposing your kids might not have an open mind when their older. like look at miss california. she grew up in a house that frowned on gay marrige and the lot of that. its not right to close off like that.

  • It's important to have an open mind. We have to look at what ages we are talking about when we talking about children having the ability to truly have an informed opinion on content. Young hearts and minds are strong, yet fragile. They arent built to handle the atrocities the world metes out. It is up to responsible parenting to handle each individual child in a responsible manner and give good boundaries to a child as he or she grows; you can instruct a child yet not squelch their growth.

  • define *atrocity". like what does it mean to you?

  • In the conversation above, I am speaking broadly about the topics I had aforementioned--graphic sex, violence, alternative lifestyles. An atrocity of example would be watching someone beheaded on television, as the world was bombarded with in the news in the last few years' the degredation of prisoners by our military in one of our prisons; watching as people jumped from the buildings on 9/11; or watching the "2 girls and a cup" video posted on YouTube (staged/fake or not).

  • Atrocity is any deviation from a societal standard of decent human action and inflicted upon others, whether they chose to participate or not. Acts that are atrocious are world-wide, but it doesn't make the doing of them right. As far as this commercial or any others similar in content, atrocity can be kids watching inuendos & sexualization of products which are not only broadcast to young minds that do not have the tools to comprehend, nor with which these young minds deserve to be bombarded.

  • whatever. burgerking was just appealing to the wrong demographic. they made a mistake. and also, i know what an atrocity is. i'm just saying that the specifics change from person to person.

  • Yes, they do change from person to person...which is why I was saying parents need to discern what is appropriate for their children to watch, based upon age, maturity level of the child and the content in question. It's important to the point that when something is on the tube at a time that it really shouldn't be on the tube (like during "family friendly t.v. time") then yes, I will speak up for children.

  • i'm speaking up for children too. my younger siblings didnt see anything wrong with it.

  • alternative life styles aren't attrocities. people are people smarticus. you are severly missunderstanding me and putting words in my mouth

  • Yes, in the eyes of a young or immature person, it would or could be. I have only tried to discuss, never tried to put words in your mouth. Only communicated thoughts and ideas. It's a very important subject, or really *should be*. I value your thoughts as well.

  • you are bascially saying that i am saying that all parents should let their kids watch south park and saw and family guy and all those other shows(that i do watch now) i'm not saying that. i'm just saying that something little like a commercial shouldn't make people crazy

  • Yes, something that seems little can be big in a little one's eyes, so yes, parents can get a little "crazy" and be protective of children. No, I understand you are not saying all parents should let their kids watch questionable content. At first, it sounded as though that was the example you were using, but I understand you, I believe. I appreciate your comments. I just want to state that it is a parent's duty to question and come against things which could harm children.

  • in my town, this kind of thing is nothing. ESPECIALLY after the superbowl incident

  • Yes, it is important to give a child content and valid discussion about topics--when they are mature enough to receive it and make valid, thinking opinions. You can warp a child's growth and mind by exposing them to things too soon. There is a reason God said to "speak the truth in love"--and that includes discussing topics which affect this life...but again, when the child is truly mature enough to handle it. This is not a finger-pointing; but valid facts about growth & development of children.

  • Ask these companies to review what they are doing in their advertising campaigns when we end up seeing/thinking there is content inappropriate for children. Suggest new content for their campaign. If the companies then continue to show inappropriate content, then do not use their products. People who have poor taste in their ads cannot push a product on me if I don't want them to do so. I'd rather give them a chance to correct it before blasting them. This one was truly wrong for kids. PERIOD.

  • BOOOO dude. if you dont expose your kids, your screwing them over! i bet that you dont even let them watch logo!

  • The other thing I would say is, guess what? It's not all about the child having the right to say what is right. Responsible parenting takes the lead in making sure a child grows up safely--including placing the right values on all areas of growing up. It's not an "I'm right and you're wrong" thing--it is about taking authority and being the right authority in a person's young life as they're growing up.

  • So... let the children feel "screwed over." Until they are 18 and "adult enough" to make their own value decisions, they will be living by their parental authority. That is definitely what part of parenting is about--caring enough to see them safely through until they are definitely mature enough to make their own decisions.

  • wow. you are the hitler of parents. you are like my old teacher! "I gave you a direction" "you are the most disrespectful class i have ever seen" "you're not allowed to have oppinions" yada yada broken record. so is eighteen like some magic line that automatically makes you the perfect adult? i think not considering that i'm using you as an example

  • I only mention 18 as it is a legal age in many states. Until a child is of an age that they are able to be on their own, the respectful thing for both child *and* parent is to *lovingly* and respectfully follow the parent's guidelines. It is a natural thing for parents to be the authority; it is a given, in *true* parenting. It is not a dominance issue, but a caring parenting tool to keep their child safe.This includes t.v. content a parent may think detrimental to their child's growth.

  • well 21 is a legal age and was for a lot of states in its time. it was lowered because older people thought they could trust younger people's judgement

  • True. I did mention 18 is legal age in many states, not in all. I grew up in Texas and the age was lowered from 21 to 18 when I was a senior. Good deal; many kids are more than ready before they are 18 and they are more mature than many adults. "Mature" does not just mean mature in age or mental ability, but in sound reasoning and ability to make take on strong responsibilities and make sound decisions.

  • some kids still get messed up even if they have ideal home lives

  • Very true; however, it's still a parent's responsibility...and it should be definitely first place in their hearts...to love their children enough to protect them if they feel content is inappropriate for their child.

  • Any adult (as well as any child) can be equally disrespectful to each other. If a classroom *is* being disrespectful, sure--call the kids on it. But do so with respect to the kids *unless* that kid or kids are being injurious or blatantly mean to others; then send them to the principal. If a student (or adult, for that matter), deserves to be treated like a child, then that is what they deserve to receive. Excuses for actions that are not valid dont count.

  • you know, some kids don't have that and they grow up just fine. it depends on the person. not kid, adult child parent. person. isolating people just screws them up further.

  • The people complaining about this campaign must not have EVER paid attention to the dialogue on the actual SpongeBob cartoon show. I find some of their scatological references hilarious and I'm no kid!!

    The purpose of any campaign is to get people interested in what you're selling. Burger King's gotten more press ABOUT the ad than they could afford to air it themselves. So it looks like it's working to me. America will never get the message that "if you don't like something, don't watch it!" !

  • nothing wrong with this, all those people that think its inappropriate are idiots, they're just shwoing butts. The children gonna see butts every day for the rest of their lives anyways..

  • You have a point, & kids are going to see so much more for the rest of their lives, *earlier in their childhood* now than any other time, and it doesn't make it right for them to see it just because "it's already out there." Do you think it's ok for children to see women in tops that barely cover breasts, for example, on the store shelves on their eye level? Or men in postage-sized, paper thin, latex-type swimsuits? Sure it's out there, but the kids don't have to be subject to it.

  • more people said they like the cormercial than that it should be removed proving it should stay

  • I'm outraged that this is targeted toward pre-school children! I'm done with Burger King and the promoters of Spongebob as well. If I have to I'll take the TV out of the house too. It's such a disgrace.

  • what are you a mom? if you are, i have to say that what you are saying is crazy...burger king has a good poduct. just because they were appealing to the wrong demographic, it doesn't mean that you have to get hot and heavy about this.

  • Yes, people do have to stand up for what affects children. Children have no say in what is put in front of their eyes. Whether a manufacturer has a good product or not, it is also up to the promoters of the products to do so with good judgment. I see a fun-based commercial but the content lacks good judgment.

  • I got hot and heavy about this because it targets innocent children-I wouldn't give a rats behind if it were for adults but I think it is terrible when it is directed at our children

  • *rolls eyes* this is the last comment i'm making here (not only because im Fighting about something that isnt important but also because my keyboard is slow.) a little commercial like this shouldnt b a big controversy If ure worried about this, have u ever thought about wat may be said in school? I can say from experience that this is teletubbies compared to hat was even implied in my middle school. Fighting about this is just insipid. And the reporter looks like a total air head by the way.

  • what's really funny is that this is exactly what Burger King wants. All this press will increase business. As for the commercial...come on! Spongebob has ALWAYS had adult humor in it!

  • And, to the parents who have allowed SpongeBob into their homes without really reviewing the content: you should definitely be watching any program you think is appropriate for your children. You may be very surprised at what you thought was appopriate actually ends up being full of adult content.

  • sorry some typos are there

  • yea right the commercial is not that bad if they wanna complain spongebob is gay anyways the song low key reflects some of the stuff daat goes on on the show and movie suck spongebob in a thong yes that was in the song but it was on the movie or show to or maybe that time when patrick and spongebob got in the shower together or when patrick rocked fishnet stockings in the movie no body complained then is that really the message we should to are children y complain now..?

  • I've never cared about the "sexual message" or whatever. I never even noticed.

    But I -do- think it is an offense to every facet of good taste there is. I literally cringe every time I hear it come on in the other room.

  • Ok that show is SOOO not for preschoolers ok?! I still watch it and i'm 14. And i dont think theres anything wrong with commercials. it's not even REAL booty. It's "phonebook implants"

  • lol im 13 and i watch it with my sis pretty much every dayy! gahh ppl are so freaking uptight.

  • That is false advertising if those girls eat the high fat high calorie Burger King food alot then they will just have big fat flabby butts not squares.

  • CBS sucks

  • dora and miniskirts? dang

  • The King is flippin HAWT!

  • Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooow.

    I don't really care about the commercial, but it was hella funny! But damn, these people are the reason on how why our nation is so damn uptight.

  • wow they're actually protesting laughter.

    i think people forget that this is a free country. i really don't think sex bothers kids either.

    put your penis back on...

  • I saw the commercial in the morning.

    And I laugh every time!

    I seriously don't see the "sexual" part of it at all... people are fully clothed, with square butts, I find that funny.

    And what was that about Dora? You gotta be kidding me.

  • google grown up dora images. she's getting a new look

  • yup

    Did that the day I commented on this. I also saved a highres illustration to my photobucket ^_^

    I think the new look is quite cute for a teen line.

  • I agree! these people are gettng too crazy about it

  • looks like a sense of humor isn't for everyone

  • Aiming commercials for kids meals at adults, it seems counter productive, but this commercial alone forced me to go out and buy 8 of those meals. Now I have 4 extra toys I don't feel like playing with.

  • wow i gotta check out the commerical lol

  • Eat more whoppers for Sexier bodies

    OK

  • I totally agree but I absolutely LOVE BURGER KING. The food is GREAT.

  • yeah, but every burger patty contains meat from about 50 different cows x_X
