Burger King's ad "It'll Blow Your Mind Away" is very sexualized, even using the word blow in the advertisement. It portrays the wrong images for individuals who are seeing this ad. Which it is honestly disgusting the way Burger King portrayed its own food. I believe there are many other ways to let customers know that your food is delicious without having to sexualize the food and some girl.
This ad is letting people know that your workout is more important than your relationships. That your girlfriend/any person is of less importance, Implying they have less worth than your own workout. It is also saying that cheating in a relationship is absolutely okay to do. I understand that Reebok was trying to make a statement that your health and exercise is very important but I do believe they took it to far with this ad. I believe they were trying to turn it in to a more funny less serious kind of thing, but it went the wrong way. There is nothing funny about cheating in a relationship. There are many other ways to show the importance of working out.
I think this ad is very ethically wrong. Everyone knows that when you are pregnant you should not be drinking. Although it calms to be non-alcoholic it is still implying that the lady is drinking while pregnant. Showing her as unfit mother to this unborn baby. This ad shows a completely wrong message with having a pregnant women in the add. I understand they were trying to show it as non-alcoholic but it does not come off that way. It comes off in a way of saying that drinking while pregnant is okay to do. The company should have come up with a different way of showing that a usually alcoholic drink had been turned non-alcoholic.
