Burgers or Babies?
Today I watched a commerical about Burger King's mini burger shots. In the commercial one guy has a big whopper and the other guy has a little tiny burger shot. The guy with the whopper looks at the other guy basically conveying to him that he's a wimp for buying the tiny burger.Then the tiny burger guy opens the wrapper and was immedietely swarmed with beautiful girls! I found this commerical to be the perfect example of gender roles in soceity. It showed how men are supposed to eat alot of food, big burgers, and how they are considered wimpy if they eat a tiny burger. It also shows that women are supposed to worship tiny babies, Burger King mini shots, because they are so cute. This kind of angered me because I know so many girls my age that swear they will not have children due to the fact they hate children. But overall this commercial showed the advertising world's views of masculinity and femininty.
