Hey Steemit, is Burger King's net neutrality ad good activism, or a cheap marketing ploy? [dTube]
Burger King's new net neutrality at, "Whopper Neutrality," does make the right point about the issue, but is it really Burger King getting involved in pro-net neutrality activism, or is it a ploy to sell more Whoppers?
Check out part of the ad in the video and leave me your thoughts in a comment...

It's just a case of "what cause is the mainstream rooting for that if we don't root for we are in danger of going to be labeled something? We might as well jump ahead and make a cliche, supposedly smart ad and take advantage of it!". The topic doesn't matter for the issue really...
All this is going to do is give the anti-net neutrality people something to point at like “see all the corporations want net neutrality in place, so it must be terrible government oversight and control of the internet”.
Marketing Ploy for sure but it sure highlights what these crazy right wing nut jobs are doing to us in a way that everyone should understand. Personally, I Love It.
a net positive, we could say?
It's a marketing ploy. They're in the hamburger business and looking to sell more hamburgers.
I do admit it's a clever ploy, though.
hard to disagree with this
Don't tell me about your hardness.
Simple Marketing..nothing seems beyond it my friend @davidpakman
Yes burger king is quite good than Macdonald and this ad might be good for their productivity
Yea I was thinking the same thing when I watched the original the other day! I really think that their marketing team has a lot of new faces that really know how to catch the masses at this point. I think they're like, "We just want to well you a Whopper man." Lol
I love that ad
Definitely just a marketing ploy. But I welcome it, as its helping raise awareness of the issue.
Cheap patties, cheap marketing ploys.
