Lately Ive been rolling my eyes more than ever over what is possibly the stupidest commercial of all time. Sir Mix-a-Lot, Sponge Bob, and Burger King have combined forces in order to promote their kid's meals and causing parents everywhere to go into a collective state of shock. But it really shouldn't come as a surprise at all to those who have ever seen a BK commercial in the past --from their creepy-ass king, to the voyeuristic subservient chicken, to their exploitation of midgets little people, they always manage to make you feel a little dirtier for having seen them.
And parents seemed to be more pissed that Nickelodeon gave the go-ahead for the ads than they do about the fact that Nickelodeon would let BK use their characters to hawk junk food in the first place. I must say, at the age of being a legitimate kid's meal eater, I wasn't allowed to use words like "butts" and now here's a video entirely about butts (albeit of the comical square variety) aimed directly at kids that age. Who cares if the whole thing objectifies the square-assed women of the world?!
The only person in this scenario I can't really blame at all is Sir Mix-a-Lot, who after a failed sequel to "Baby Got Back" (1992's ode to large female upper-halfs "Put 'Em on the Glass") and "Monsta Mack," his contribution to 1993's Beavis and Butthead Experience album, has done little else. It leads me to wonder if I am cool or a huge dork for knowing 3 Sir Mix-a-Lot songs. Either way I applaud the guy for basing an entire career on asses of the large variety and making loads of money along the way. High five Mixa, you win.

That video is absolutely from another planet. Shield the kids!
thanks for sharing!!
Don't forget about Mix-a-Lot constantly being a talking head on every kind of VH1 countdown show known to man!
Ya it's pretty amazing he's put leather jackets on his back and food on his plate consistently for 17 years due solely to his partiality to women with large rears.
