Love Sweet Love

Congratulations to Arby's ...

... for making breasts unsexy. As I was flipping through my -- I mean my friend's -- new swimsuit edition of Sports Illustrated, one advertisement stood out amid all the cleavage and suggestive poses:

First of all, if I wanted to see breasts that look like soggy buns, I'd pick up National Geographic. And second, Arby's doesn't have the "hip" factor to pull this off. Instead of seeming cutting-edge, it comes across like an older uncle crashing a high-school party.

The ad is for a new product called the roastburger, which will be Arby's first foray into burger territory. The chain has been rolling out some odd new products lately, including egg rolls.

Unfortunately, the tag line in the "I'm thinking Arby's" ad was true. Problem was, I wanted to be thinking of something else.

It was a great ADVERTISEMENT meant to grab a readers attention away from a hundred nearly naked women. Thats tought to do and Arby's did it. I thought it was a great ad.

What message is ARBY giving by the above Ad in which its big-sized burgers symbolize pair of ladies' voluptuous breasts? It is meant to say ARBY's soft, huge and mouth-watering burgers remind people of lady's breasts!Being an American Company with overseas franchise, you are promoting your product in a disgraceful and discriminatory manner which hurts woman's pride, dignity and honour.

The western world in particular USA always keeps promising to safeguard and protect women-world. How come such a filthy Ad is not dropped yet! Such kind of Ad sets indirect example of woman molestation. Govt body alongwith advocacy groups must come forward and take immediate action to stop making such ads!

Jesus, are those hands of a small child or are those burgers eight inches across? That is horrifying.
