Media reactions to the campaign followed promptly, AdAge noted the "blatantly male bias of the campaign" and calls the ad the "Subservient Shower Girl."
Interestingly, the news about this campaign followed a recent release by Burger King UK and Ireland, in which marketing director Sarah Power stated: "We want to remind customers why they love Burger King and its burgers. With slogans such as ‘substance over style’ and ‘taste is king’ we are looking to make a real brand impact and attract customers as they do their festive and New Year sales shopping." But, we now learn from the same marketing director the real reason why Brits love Burger King: "Our shower-cam gives hungry Brits the chance to watch the BK Shower Girl singing in the shower every day to help them work up an appetite for our fantastic new breakfast range." Right, we all needed a half naked woman singing in the shower to grow an appetite for BK hamburgers. Sure thing, the male audience might get an appetite after watching the shower babe "shaking her bits to the hits at 9.30am every morning" ... although I doubt this will involve breakfast at BK.
With such PR, BK will soon change its profile, becoming world's greatest peep show portal... burgers will naturally become complimentary rewards, "on the house" for the most faithful voyeurs attending. Brilliant. (!) And this is how, during hard times, companies manage to survive. And if you want to see even more, take a look at the auditions for this campaign. Note that the PR company that devised the campaign is Cow PR (named so because "we’re not sheep, because we don’t do factory farmed PR, and we don’t give you the usual bull.") Indeed, a peep show is not the usual bull. It's just BS.
