Thread: Emo Parents Protest burger king star wars toys.

Grumble Grumble Grumble

The thing is, Episode III is rated PG-13. How many 13 year olds (and older) buy happy meals??? So why is Burger King marketing to kids younger then the suggested viewing age... (That is, besides the $$$...)

big deal. even if it's rated PG-13, u can watch it with parent supervision.

besides, don't lie now, how many of u actually waited til 18, before u saw boobs. seriously, the ratings are just guidance.

Do they need another reason?

Seriously though, Burger King has marketed every other movie. It's possible they have a contract or something. After all, what would the movie release be ike without the Burger King collectable glasses? (Yes, I'm being sarcastic.)

AD Week

The Miami-based chain has tied its marketing to the Star Wars films since the first one was introduced in 1977. The company produced collectible drinking glasses for each of the movies, but this is the first time it has extended the promotion globally.

"Star Wars is a brand recognized by people of all ages from around the world and the global release of Revenge of the Sith on May 19 presented a unique opportunity for us to bring the thrill of Star Wars to Burger King restaurants worldwide," said Russ Klein, the company's chief marketing officer. "We're sure the promotion will create a lot of excitement among our customers."

Really, it's all about the money. Why would you think otherwise?


As for the parents protesting, they need to chill, or stop buying kids meals. I can't count the number of toys my kids have gotten that I didn't necessarily feel to be appropriate. I mean really, Spiderman? Like I'm going to let my 6 and under kids watch that. You just wait for them to break it and then throw it away when their not looking, or break it yourself. Problem solved.

Agreed all about the money.
Ahhh... the power of money... here's u a side of voilence for ur young kids to help them grow up and have good morals and academic skills [/sarcasim]

ur reminding me of that free hamburger ticket i lost yesterday. it hurts.

Ok, is it just me, or has anyone noticed that the new BK toys, you have to stare up the characters ass to see the pictures?

Someone at BK wasn't thinking straight.

for who ever siad it, your mean, i'm over thirteen i still buy kids meals, they're cheap and tasty and i can get a millk shake, so leave it out they're nice. anywho even if the kids can't see the movie they probably still have some idea of what it's about and who the people are.
