Pornographic hamburgers?

11 replies
Hi

I saw a story about Carl Jr.'s (a fast food place) the other day, which said they targeted men 18-34 in their advertising. They have research that says that they are most likely to buy fast food. I guess that is because they eat a lot and don't like to cook!

Anyway, in order to do this, their advertising is quite edgy, almost to the point of being soft porn.

I thought it was an interesting example of "knowing your prospect", though McDonald's might have an issue with their choice of prospect.

Here is an example:


Definitely an interesting (strange) way to sell hamburgers.

      They're obviously not targeting soccer moms. This one with Audrina Partridge sold a lot of burgers...

    I must say I like the Paris Hilton one better.

    But it doesn't make me want to eat a hamburger.

    Virginia, is the spelling of "pronographic" in your title intentional?

      No, just carelessness.
