Fails of the Week: Burger King Leaks Prematurely, Young Bucks Goes Back & MorePosted by Nathan S. on 04/07/12 | Filed under Features, Fails of the Week |
I know by now everyone’s piled on about the Mary J. Blige Burger King commercial, there’s really not much more to be said about it, except for one thing….
After an avalanche of criticism, including some strong words from Mary J herself, Burger King executives first said that the ad was pulled because of “licensing reasons”, then said that the ad was accidentally released early, before it was finished: “We would like to apologize to Mary J. and all of her fans for airing an ad that was not final.”
Not final? Really? Really though? Was the final version a COMPLETELY FUCKING DIFFERENT AD? Because otherwise, I find it hard to believe that the differences between this “rough” version and the “final” version will be the difference between this travashamockery and an awesome ad.
I need to start using this excuse in real life:
“I’m sorry honey, that last comment I made about how hot your sister is wasn’t final and leaked prematurely. The final version was, ‘You’re sister is actually pretty hot…which makes the fact that you’re hotter than her even more impressive.’”
