I caught this out of the corner of my eye at the gym the other day. I SWEAR I saw a Burger King commercial parodying the recent finger-found-at-Wendy’s incident.
The TVs at the gym are closed-captioned (no sound unless you bring headphones) but what I saw looked like the following: flash of disembodied hand next to medical equipment, people eating Burger King burgers happily. Then it cut to someone foil-wrapping a burger–you know those little pictographs they have to indicate no tomato, no lettuce, etc.? This one had a small hand and the worker drew a big black “X” over it as if to say “no hands in our product”!
Has anyone else seen this, or did I just catch some poorly juxtaposed footage?? I did have a really strange dream last night, so I’m (maybe) willing to chalk it up to that, but I truly feel like I was awake when I saw this.
If that’s so, I just have to say—that’s amazingly crappy of them.
Though, if this is all so, Wendy’s could counter with an ad of their own—a restaurant vaguely reminisecent of BK, where a worker finishes a sandwich—almost! At the snap of her finger (let’s make it an attractive young woman who prepared the sandwich), six or eight dancers in molecule or atom costumes (whichever gets the point across) come and do a weird circle-dance around the sandwich, replete with odd hand gestures and sing-song vocalizations directed at the sandwich before it is wrapped. 
Well, that, or a solemn announcement (with blank screen or appropriate graphics) denouncing Burger King’s poor taste in making this ad—if this is so!
I think I saw this commercial. (I don’t pay much attention to commercials.)
I believe the point of the commercial was that the guy didn’t have hands big enough to hold the massive, meaty burger that BK sells. Hence, the doctor puts down a synthetic hand - the point being the guy is getting larger hands so he can hold the giant burger.
Then again, like I said, I don’t pay much attention to commercials. Can any one confirm?
BlackKnight’s got the commercial.
They also have one with the doctor making the patient’s mouth bigger - or rather, explaining how he plans to do so - including, IIRC, removing his lips (ew.).
Phew! BlackKnight’s explanation is MUCH more rational. Clearly, my sick little mind saw part of the commercial and twisted the elements into something totally different.
