The news today has said that there have been many complaints against the current Burger King ads and that the complaints have been upheld by the Advertising Standards Authority.

Good grief! Don't people have better things to do with their lives than complain about these type of ads on TV?? Personally, I think these ads are quite amusing. The ads feature bikini women and they're advertising a new burger at Burger King. These ads are not soft porn. They don't show any nudity at all (not like ads I've heard of in Europe!) What about the Tui ads with the "gorgeous women" working at the Tui factory near Pahiatua? They are far worse than the Burger King ads yet they haven't been banned.
You just get people complaining about these ads because they happen to show beautiful bikini women. What about the ads showing men in just their undies, such as the "undies, undies, togs" Trumpet ad? And remember the Carlos Spencer Toffee Pops ad? If there were complaints from men about this one, then there would be more complaints from women if they pulled it!
So get over it people! There is no nudity in this Burger King ad - it's just a bit of fun. And I guess Burger King are trying to target their main customer base - red-blooded young males!!
