New Burger King ad criticized as "culturally tone-deaf"

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

I am an American documentary photographer based in Bucharest, Romania right now and have been working on a book project about Europe's most traditional life which exists in northern Romania where part of the ad was shot. I am shocked. Just shameful. The villagers' whole lives revolve around organic farming and their traditions. There are few true chances for genuine adventure left in the world and it seems America just won't stop spread its vapid culture and industrialized food even to the far corners of the earth.
