Courtesy of who else but Burger King. Their new ad campaign in the US, brainchild of some blue-sky nutjob at an uber trendy ad agency, sees unwitting townspeople from remote rural areas of Asia be subjected to a taste test between a Whopper and a Big Mac. It’s like some sort of postcolonial pastiche you’d expect on Saturday Night Live: look at the savages! They haven’t even seen a Whopper before! Bless their virgin tastebuds! Urrrgh.
Here’s the link – the cynics amongst you might see this as propagating the viral contagion of this horrorshow (a big incentive in adland, lest we forget) but this is really something that has to be seen to be believed. Plus it’s part of a larger article predictably drawing similar amounts of bile over at the Guardian.
As a more palatable salve to the above, my interview in The Other Side magazine is now out and online – click here to read the digital edition. I’m on p.8 plug plug (though I’ll consider you one of the converted seeing as you’ve already made it to my site).
I know I’m due pages on the Chile strip – it’s coming, it’s coming – I’ve been backed up with Bash work, of which all I can tell you is my latest piece about raging grannies took longer to put to bed than I expected. You’ll see what I mean in January, honest.
