The Narrative of Bad White Guys vs. Bad Black Guys

"You know, there's a powerful narrative that has emerged about how all these white bad guys, like the shooter and highland park, Illinois. Or the shooter in Charleston, South Carolina. That monster who massacred those black churchgoers at mother Emanuel church. They brought him or so the narrative goes, Burger King. In fact, the urban legend is they took that monster to Burger King. So he could get, I guess, a whopper before they took him to prison. They didn't take him to Burger King, but as they were interrogating him, and he had gone hours and hours without eating. They brought him food. And the narrative for a lot of people is, look at that. They're bringing the white guy Burger King in jail. And the black guy in Akron, Ohio gets shot 60 times.

"Looks it might look for fire that it is easy. And the amount of great work that comes out of BK, but you need to remember there are so many things that we also do not do or are not able to do. So it's like we have an organization. We still have our organizational challenges as any organization has, but then we fight for the ideas like crazy. Because, of course, like moldy whopper is a great example. It's not like it's not controversial. There were a few people inside of the organization that had a mission to ensure that that doesn't go out. So, of course, this is the trust that we need to have between agency partners and us and of course the lawyers and other people that are there to support and make things happen. Creative lawyers, they will go into.

"I love the writing adore. He talked about the metrics that you've put towards that's what have you seen in terms of from the prime state. So in terms of plant based, we're doing well, this is something that's function mentioned before. We're bringing new products all in time. So we need to have new platforms also to keep that alive. But then we put things together. So overall, we're doing well with plant based. And this is something that we see across across the planet. Yeah, and one thing that is that is like a big sign of acceptance and how it was working is that the fact that the first campaign was launching a few markets, and the second one was like, okay, I want that. I want that. I want that. Not only because many markets were on cheap chicken, but because they saw how it worked, right? And that sentence is a great, great partner. Because he sells the work really well. It usually happens with global brands and then you do something in a market. People see how successful it was. And then everyone wants to jump in. So this year too has been bigger and hopefully year three when we have, you know, more easily provided confusingly. Confusing trilogy. No, because I don't know markets, right? Because the numbers are yellow, we just prepared the FD case last week and it was good. I need to ask the agency the brand you guys have had a really long relationship now. What is it that, I mean, Burger King is such an ideas machine as well when it comes to his marketing. What is a Burger King campaign or can you actually say that's a Burger King idea and that would be perfect for a campaign? There's just so many ideas that come out. So I mean, as a client, I think that the biggest issue with brands is lack of bravery. Lack of actually doing things. It's not like creativity. I'm not, of course, I'm not saying that everyone is like these gentlemen here. So really. But it's not, it's not a lack of ideas, usually that tends to be the biggest issue. It's a lack of belief that creativity does something for your brand for your business for growing things further. So it's like it's a constant discussion. What's up so many times a week or a day that it's always new things that we want to do. And when there's something really good, these guys call me evil, we need to talk and then 5 minutes later we're on a call and then 5 minutes later we've kind of approved a campaign because there's something cool. This is kind of how we do. And then we try to figure out how all of the legal stuff and all of that, which is usually a pain. In any company, but that's kind of the belief that we need to do great stuff. And we need to do more great stuff all the time. It's not like we should do fewer things. We should do better and more. That's really what we want to do. Yeah, I think that something that you will sell and I think that you want to build a really good at that is in a trust. The trust in your team in the idea and to talking about another example that I think is a great example of this thing. We did a printed algorithm campaign that is called meat for bloodless product as well and playing around the confusion as well. Actually, the idea that we had was I think that maybe there is a way to take pictures of the vegetables. In a really close way, it will cut look like meat. And the headline was like sorry for the confusion, meat lovers, right? But I was not sure if that's possible. The team shared with me this idea, but I was not sure, so I truly, I hope this idea that they love it and we actually were having because it's doing really well in this week. But the only way to know if it's going to work is to go and produce it. I don't know if it's going to work. I felt that it's going to work. I saw some first model. I think you told me it's going to work. But this is better. We need some little dollars. I think it's going to work, but let's give it a try. And it will be okay, let's go. Let's really use it. Let's make it happen. And once we went into production, it was like, you know, and that's a great ending, but the orders possible alternative to any was like, sorry. It didn't work. You will think that it's a vegetable. So that believe in that trust in the team and in the idea of saying, okay, let's do it. I trust you, let's go for it and if it works, we are on the same boat and if it doesn't work, we are still in the same boat. No, you know, not having fear of screwing up from time to time, right? Because I think very can also, people already see what we do and what goes out and what stays in the drawer and even some failures. Are there, but we try and try and try, we're talking yesterday about that. How this trust this intimacy, this relationship for years and years. It's really about us because we just met three years ago, but the home company is in a way the guys who were before us, the guys who would be after us, they have been raised in this trust relationship where it's okay to fail. And if you fail, just go faster for the next one and I think that in that sense is where it comes, it turns into a machine of putting great work out because also and that's something we shared. We always still to the teams and we tell the talent. One of the things we can promise you is that at David, we give our lives to make shit happen because the difference between I think good agency and a not so good agency is not the ideas everyone have ideas. It's just that we try to make them happen, right? We don't give up. So also a big shout out to people's lawyers because they approve a stimulate would have died and I think 99% of the agencies because no one would have gone through the painful process of three months with lawyers trying to figure out how to do it without saying any name any team, any video game name or whatever and then the same only work or movie would have died in 99.9% of the agencies. Not even the client. The agency side because someone would have said it's impossible no one would do it. No one would have pushed the amount of trials we did to get the proper molded war for just to make it look beautiful. So it happens over and over again. And these guys are incredibly good at pushing us to make stuff happen. But we do it together. So we've sat in meetings together with the lawyers to ensure that we can get things through. I mean, just because also, but if we can't do that, maybe we can do that. If you can't do that, maybe you can do that. It.

"Men of Jews was even bigger because they want a couple of ground threes, you know, with the same stretch. You have the same job, but the right thing was so beautiful. And so funny that they made it. So I think, as you will see, from a business perspective, plant based is the future of this category, not only in the company, right? And from what we know that even more confusing products are going out. So and the world is confusing. I think that's still we go back to semi normal and it's going to take some time. So we and people know that the platform. So we like the challenge of this trying to do this even more funnier every day as long as he will thus even more confusing products and we will try to do it. A great campaign, but can you talk a bit about what was the success that you saw that made you want to have a second version of that? Well, what did you see from the launch of the plant police products that has kept us going so flat based product is something that we believe in big time. I mean, we went much earlier than the other guys, while the other guy, maybe. And we are committed to doing that. But we are committed to doing that only if guests want. I mean, we can't, we can't sell even if these geniuses here can do the best advertising in the world. If the product isn't good or there's no consumer demand, there is no magic that can overcome lack of consumer demand. But we know that this is something that we want to do now and in the future. At least as the world looks like today. So we needed fantastic materials. Fantastic things that markets can activate. That they know that this is something that is really the key that will work for us. And that's how it came about. And then the stuff that we tried to adjust was a little bit on getting deeper into the insights of what people really think is not only confusing, but also confusing, related to topics that can be related to the things that you eat on the plant based products versus other things. For me, the best line by far is this the least getting kids is there for the offspring, getting kids is the least environmentally friendly thing that you can do. For me, that's just perfect because that puts such it's such a mind fuck of a sentence. And yet it's so true. You know, you want better for your kids, but having kids is the worst thing that you can do for the planet. So that's kind of how we connected. And then working on it because I mean, of course, there's so much materials, but working on getting exactly those strategic.

"No, but it's good and you know what we just with all the materials like a little puzzle so you try to put them in an order where you have a surprise in the beginning, then you kind of realize where it's going, then you have a pause because we always try to put a pause so you can hear it's confusing and then you let it go and go crazy. So more or less like badly pick it, right? But for example, the line which for me is my favorite in this second one is she has three days to find out. We were and that's one of the things that we try to know where to put it and some of us know in the middle so they go and then we decided to put it in the end because it's so brilliant and it's the only it's the one that you have to build in your head because you hear three days to find out they say yeah because if you don't drink water to three days you die and there is like the perfect pause to then go to the product and it's kind of yeah it was easy because of the material but it was like that little possible, right? Well that's like telling a joke you think of what's the punchline what does that mean? It's so smart. And actually especially on the film we actually shot like three or more situations. But they didn't make it to the end because somehow and that's something that happened. In this group is really funny but then when you shoot it it's like I don't know why it doesn't make me enough. When I listen to the radio I love that line, but here is that I don't know let's try a different image but in the end we killed a four situations and it happened twice because last year too this year the ad is beautiful was shot by B sips.

"For the special episode of the year that's probably an ad. I want to explore a piece of work release during the pandemic initially. I think it's going to have a lasting legacy as a piece of work from Burger King, no two pieces of work. And the confusing teams campaign which my view has offered a brilliant overview of how the world society and culture has evolved and is evolving a great speed in recent years. Leaving many of us trying to keep up and this was created for Burger King as it was trying to raise awareness of its plant based menu and how that was rolling out globally. Last year in can one four lines that go to silver and a bronze, showing that the industry has received as received very positively. But then it's also winning, again, this year can where we are currently sat wins the morning here early. So you're probably going to hear some coarse voices as we talk. But I've all introduced the gentleman behind our involved and making sure this campaign has been released and is proving a massive success. I'm joined by I'm joined by evil zakowski, head of global brand marketing at Burger King. Poncho sees global CCO and partner David and ajit to leader. Chief creative officer for David New York. So as I say to my introduction, as a campaign for the team as a camping for no, I'd love to hear, first of all, what was the brief, what was the challenge that you guys were saying? And just why this campaign come together. So I think that Burger King in general has been putting a lot of effort on plant based products. And I think we're a global leaders in the category for all the QSRs. We were the first one to launch big time. Plant based products. So things that taste like meat, but it's actually based out of plants. And the first campaign that was done around a year and a half ago was just awesome. And we kind of put a big emphasis on working on plant based products around the world and, well, these gentlemen are so proactive that they always come with absolutely amazing stuff. So we continuously work on the plant based strategy and then it is work that is just coming out of these brilliant minds. Why now has Burger King gone down the plant dish through it? Why was that something you venture just? Well, we saw a big shift in general how people are eating. I think it's a cliche to talk about big shifts in general, but this was something that we saw a few years ago. More people are moving towards the flexitarian flexitarian style of eating. And that means that we need to offer the products that people actually want. The products that they eat in their everyday life. And that the technology has changed so much. So the things that were just three, four years ago, let's say less good than they do today. And now, well, they're confusingly good. So that's really how it moved. So set that brief. How do you raise to that challenge? No, we went all in with the Burger King way of thinking, right? When you think about Burger King, there's always a take that it's a bit of self deprecation. And when we said instead of talking about how good it is, because everyone is saying how good it is. Ours is so good. But we needed the different take and the different take came through the lens of this is confusing. It tastes like meat. It looks like meat and it doesn't have meat. So in that, when we got to that thought, we were like, oh, maybe there's something interesting here, right? And the team started writing amazing copywriters, David Kruger said, blah, blah. And they started realizing that the world was confusing. We were coming out of or in the midway coming out different places out of COVID and there was a lot of insights and but talking to evil and the Burger King team, we thought that we have something bigger kind of a platform because in a way, even without COVID, the world is kind of confusing, right? You have a lot of insights and stuff to play with. And this year, the second part filled Supernatural because we were launching chicken, which is even more confusing, right? How do they do GKE without chicken and with only with plants? And we said, hey, let's give it a second tape, right? Let's give it a second go. I mean, these things take so long to create and pull together. Did you have a chance to actually taste the food and actually sit down and experience what you were going to promote? Was it all in place when you started this? Yeah, it was a really long journey. On those campaigns. And the first one, and actually on the second one, and I think it's really interesting because of the natural process that we did is we start first with the radio company. You know, I think that usually when you have a campaign, it's like, okay, let's do the film. And once you have the film, then you are like, okay, how would we make this big arrival? Let's do the print. Let's do the right. I don't know why, because it's a confusing campaign in any sense of that war. You're still confused by the radio company. Okay, let's start with the writer campaign. We wrote a lot. A lot. And at some point, and that's something that I was so do. I think that if we do a campaign with the lines and with the insights that we killed, I think that campaign will still be really good. Because we wrote a lot, we wrote a lot and actually something that we were doing this year because last year it was like, okay, it's computing times. Let's do a mix of everything. And this year we said, okay, let's because we got that brief planned the chicken nuggets that is really confusing because it's right now for me and I think for all of us plant based meat is kind of normal, right? But at that point, she can not taste like meat and it lets that taste like chicken, but it's actually made of plants. So we said, maybe we can do different things here. We can have different executions. So we have one execution that is about environment. We have a no execution that is about relationships. So we gave that small to the radio campaign. And when we got them, we were like, okay, now we have many things here to play around. And then we said, but we want to have something new because the previous campaign was just a film and already a campaign. Now we had a radio and a film. And we said, but maybe there is a way that we can have a brain campaign as well. And we're thinking a lot about how we can do it, but it's like just people with our products that they look confused. It's a simple as that. And then some headlines, some questions that is in their minds. And we got there, we saw them and it's like, oh, this is great. Oh, and they were saying we had so much material to play with, that you can even have different executions, right? And for us at Burger King, I don't know how maybe but we do like three, four out of campaigns a month of the different products. So we knew that that could be interesting to go and print and not just go with usual production, but let's keep people something entertaining. And I think that it's been so successful in the streets and in the different markets. Because we wanted to laugh. We're missing humor everywhere. And then a brand that just laughs about life and it's all product. I think people really appreciate it. I think that that was one of the things that in the first campaign, because when we created the first one, we were in the middle of the pandemic, working from home, and in all the campaigns they were more emotional. They were more human and we were like, are we going to launch this campaign now? In the middle of the pandemic, we're all around there more emotional. And this is just laughing of the kind of time that we are doing and really smart way. And people love it. We're kind of afraid and confused, but people love it. You see what YouTube comment, like, this is the best ally so I really needed to laugh this week. So that was great. And I mean, hydrogen is a little bit about the gene to have to cause thank what is the tour de no, we're going to go with a really confident, less was correct. So in terms of craft, it's fantastic. I mean, there's no doubt about that. And I love this kind of sense of humor. So I left a lot, which is, I guess, one of the reasons why we work great together with these gentlemen here. But of course, I mean, we tried to put a little bit more strategy behind what we wanted to achieve in the sense of what the insides are behind white people come to plant based products. And then we needed to adjust a little bit, but I for me that even more confusing times is actually a step better than the first. And because we put the craft is equally amazing, but then we put a little bit more strategy behind it and we think it's absolutely fantastic. It was difficult to navigate because also when you think about the pandemic and the period that we've had now, things change all the time. So something might be okay, and then we had things that we needed to remove because we felt like maybe that's offensive now or maybe that's just too much we kind of are okay with pushing as you might know that became like that. But some of the things felt like it could be considered as tone deaf. Also then things started happening. So this was it was a great evolution. And it happens with humor, right? I like to say that the two copywriters that did this are really very comedians, really good. And comedy has this limit, right? You watch rickety terrain or you watch other great comedians. We are always in the fine line. Maybe look at your face, no. He goes all the way. So yeah, what he will say is interesting because we were laughing and then we were testing the jokes. And then some of them felt like maybe too much, but we were like, but there was so much material to play with. So how did you actually decide what would make the cut then? Because I think there is an edge to it, but I think it does walk it perfectly. So I hope that you deceive great, that's too far. I think it's a group effort right here. With the guys right and down, then we read them. I think that when you read the joke and you laugh, that's a really good job. Then you need to put the video, you need to put other elements from it, reading.

The Substitution Effect Can't Happen With Baby Formula

"This is not like the price of steak going up You know we have this thing in economics called the substitution effect You probably heard of it The substitution effect can mitigate the effects of industry specific inflation So let's say there was some catastrophic chicken disease okay And the chicken population gets wiped out You'll see chicken go up in price because it would be hard to find Everyone tracking it doesn't necessarily mean there's a monetary or financial problem It just means maybe in that industry that happened That's not what we're seeing now We're seeing widespread inflation But there's a substitution effect What happens when the chicken price goes up then it's unique to that specific industries people buy pork people buy hams people buy steak people buy tofu burgers they substitute other things Just look it up It's called the substitution thing It's not complicated It's simple stuff Folks the problem with baby food is there is no freaking substitution effect What are you going to do Give the baby chicken nuggets What are you going to feed the baby a whopper From Burger King the baby's three months old It's GI tract hasn't matured What are you going to feed the baby a protein shake Do not do that There's nothing you can do

Ghost Kitchen (MM #4037)

"The mason minute. With Kevin mason. There's a phrase in the food and beverage restaurant, even delivery industry. You're going to be hearing more about the coming years. It's called the ghost kitchen. A ghost kitchen is basically a kitchen and a warehouse, if you will, where the people at the grill make all sorts of different types of food. And what I'm reading about is restaurants, fast food places like Taco Bell, like McDonald's, all doing these kitchens where they don't have drive up customers, they're strictly creating these kitchens for delivery sake. So if you get your McDonald's or your Burger King or your pizza delivered, it's not coming from a store necessarily. It's coming from a ghost kitchen. Then some of these kitchens are even pretending to make these foods. I've got a friend who's getting involved in the ghost kitchen industry. And he won't talk a lot about it because it's got a hush hush right now, but I'm reading more about ghost kitchens here in Nashville. And it's going to get very interesting. I have a feeling. Ghost kitchens could be the future of food delivery. Could be the future of restaurants in general because nobody wants to go sit in a restaurant anymore. You can't find help. You can't find service and the food just isn't as good as it used to be. An interesting thought.

"I mean, New York is a dystopian dark pessimistic totalitarian city and I never used to be that way when New York used to be a wonderful, beautiful vibrant energetic place used to love to go to New York. And now I avoid it at all costs. I hope I never go back at the current state. Unless it changes, let me say that. I hope that if New York changes that go back in an instant. But the fact that I need to show a vaccine passport to go to a Burger King or to a hotel, again, that's not going to happen. Same for San Francisco used to be The Crown jewel of the west. It was a wonderful, unique, trendy city. Now it's just stay away from there. We are two nations occupying the same country and you see that in what states are able to turn the corner on the virus, what states are able to have economic numbers and you just look at the average real estate, value, for example, in Scottsdale, Arizona. Scottsdale, Arizona real estate, is up 55% in certain neighborhoods a year to date. 55%. Now, they didn't strike oil in Arizona.

So, all right, so having type one diabetes causes you to be rated for insurance doesn't necessarily disqualify you for insurances. As you said, he has to endure a medical exam and all that, go ahead and do it. And you said estimated premium was one 50. But I don't know if you mean what time period that's per week per month, whatever that period is and how much coverage you're looking at. But going through the medical underwriting is a good idea and it's what I recommend. If you get rejected for that, then yes, the answer is, you beef up the amount of money you have in savings and in investments to deal with a possibility that your partner will die young, but remember the medical industry is much, much better. It disease management with diabetes and the possibility for a normal or near normal lifespan continues to get better and better for people with type one diabetes. This is from Myron and Louisiana, I have a credit card that I've had for over 20 years. The credit limit is $18,000. For the last 7 years I've not used it as much, maybe putting four to $500 per month on the card. Before then, I would put around four to $6000 per month on the card. I've always paid the full balance each month. Today I received a letter from the bank saying they noticed I'm spending way below the available line of credit. Therefore, they're reducing the credit line from 18,000 to 9000. Should I be concerned, my credit score is always been above 800. I don't want anything to hurt it. So Byron, the credit review of you that found that you're using a very low percent.

I was driving down the road the other day and realized something. We sometimes have too many locations of fast food places, and that may also be part of the reason why we have such an employer employee shortage. I was driving down a road here in Nashville, which kind of spans about three or four cities. From Nashville into some of the suburbs. And as I was driving down Lebanon pipe the other day, I realized I just passed three KFCs within the span of about 5 miles. Straight line all on the same side of the street, three Kentucky fried chickens. Do we really need that many KFCs that close together in the same neighborhood now I realize there are three technically different suburbs, but at the same time do we need that many? How many more burger kings or McDonald's do we need? Yes, I realize we like having the convenience of something nearby around the corner, but could that be part of our problem too? We're overbuilding just a thought process. I could be wrong, but it's got me wondering.

So I guess you know when your favorite hot stuff hits the mainstream, hits the fast food places. It's about to come crashing to a halt. I just don't understand the desire to have everything be so hot. Everybody just a slight bit difference and some like it hot, some like it sweet or something like it spicier or whatever it is, but ghost peppers, whether it's in chicken nuggets or not, I'll pass.

Why would we lockdown gymnasiums when people are actually literally trying to get healthy by the way this is daily. Let me just reinforce this. This is daily. One thousand eight hundred people die. Every single day of heart disease one thousand six hundred forty of cancer four hundred seventy by accident four hundred thirty of chronic lower respiratory disease. Four hundred ten of stroke their three hundred thirty of alzheimer's and now cova deaths are below three hundred twenty four. In fact yesterday there was seventy one confirmed cova deaths. Seventy one confirmed cova debts. And if you look at category by category last year included zero to seventeen years old three hundred and forty people died involving with one thousand nine hundred and alex berenson says that that is almost immeasurable. Statistically fifty one thousand two hundred thirteen people died from all causes from ages.

Seven thousand one hundred forty five people died from cove in nineteen allegedly and one hundred thirty seven thousand people eight hundred forty nine from all causes you go category to category. Do you know that cova was not the leading cause of death for any single age group including last year including eighty five years and older including seventy five to eighty four.

The other day about a local business that you wouldn't perceive to be. Local was an article written by a Subway franchisee who said you see Subway and you think national business. But in essence, most Subways are owned by franchisees. Local people in your town, who may run one or two or three or ten, but they're local businesses, they hire local employees, they pay no taxes. They live local, the people want McDonald's just down the street from me. It's a local business and I understand their frustration because through all the pandemic as we've been encouraging people to shop local and get away from the big brands from the big chains off depends on if it's a franchise or not. If you go to Target and Walmart those aren't local but Subway and McDonald's and Burger King might just be and I feel their frustration. I understand it, as we all try to get out of this and stop struggling wage.

"I'm going to talk about a fantastic article that i read of his And i get. I even get his argument but first of all. Let's let's step back and talk about the fact that we have three men talking about why this may or may not have angered Women or men or anybody else. We we don't exactly have a particularly diverse pool of individuals. breaking breaking down the issues here. That's the first point. And then no actually. Sorry i'm gonna. I'm gonna jump in there. I don't think that matters i. Are you telling me that like it. How does that affect burger king though like they shouldn't have done it regardless i mean if if there's a bunch of men that speak up against it that's still a problem right. I don't think burger king is sort of segmenting. Its audience in terms of men may feel this way. Women may feel this way. I mean there's all is that in that particular clip that you played were getting very a very specific and very particular perspective on the issue on the ad itself. So my point is. I don't necessarily dean that to be conclusive of of anything i do because even if women were perfectly fine if there was a woman on that show who said this. This ad was fine for me. I still would say it's not fine because it affects more than just women when something like this is tweet it i i. It doesn't matter if anyone gets upset. If your brand is sort of dragged through the mud for this that can be a perspective of male or female or someone who is black or white or asian..

It's like if you don't get the joke here then you're stupid. You don't get subtlety. You don't get humor perspective and if you do and you're pretending that you don't just you can have something to be pissed off that. Then you're both ways your gross. And what did you think when you heard about this. When i heard mars comment or when i heard the initial the yeah i mean i i saw cam look i get it i get. I get mars point but i also don't. I don't think that because you can look at the critically that doesn't mean you don't have a sense of humor. I don't think it means you're being overly sensitive. Burger king was clearly looking to get people's attention. They were clearly looking to incite some level of controversy around the particular phrasing And look i mean. They're they're right. I mean as you know in a previous life cam. I worked in kitchens and it is. I mean it's exactly what you think it is. It's a particularly gendered environment. It is not an environment that historically has been inclusive or Something that a comfortable space for women to move into. That's clearly what burger king was touching on. But but i mean again why. I mean on international women's day. Why did that have to be the position. You could have gone so many other ways. Why was that the direction that they went. I just i don't. I don't get it and i think you know i think maher is off base. I get it. He's trying to conflict too many issues. He's saying that if you find this inappropriate or marginally offensive. Then you don't have a sense of humor or your some sort of woke social justice warriors kind of common parlance that i know he likes to use. I don't think it means that. At all i you can look at it and say no. That was a really stupid advertising campaign to drop on international women's day And it doesn't have to be anything more than that. So i just want to push back on one thing that you said there. He said they were clearly trying to incite controversy. And i really don't think that's the case. I do think that burger king was trying to get attention. But i don't think they were trying to incite controversy and those are two very different things. There's a fine line between them I do think companies trying to avoid controversy as much as possible. There just wired that way but you do want to do something creative to get attention and sometimes those two things come together and i think. Pr agencies are calms. teams would not want them to come together. they want to split them into two. So i don't think they were actually trying to create this kind of controversy out of it but i think they were trying to be talked about which is a little bit different so i i. I want to address this and now the reason i chose. This is because there's a message in here that applies to almost everything out of communications. And there's there's two parts to this issue to me. There's two main sides to it. Two main factors here one the appropriateness of the joke to the risk of the joke. So people think these are the same thing. But they're not like in terms of the appropriateness of the jope it. Actually it doesn't matter ultimately if you think it's appropriate or not and this is where sort of bill maher was going with it. It's completely beside the point. Because should people be angry about the tweet..

"All right you and i wanted to Talk today about companies and making a very public mistakes that land them in some hot water and it pertains to burger king this week but before i i mentioned that actually amazon ran into a similar problem. So let me start at the beginning here. Amazon released a new logo for its phone app in january. I believe sorry no it was in february and it was corrected on march first so in In february it was a logo that had the sort of amazon smile. The sorta eight ed part of the logo and then a A some tape like it sealed like a box over the top but it had what many people felt. Looked like a hitler mustache. The way that this sort of seal was put on this box with a smile. It's hard to describe. I will put a link in the show notes. I didn't notice that. I can see how people would though Based on having a look at it and this was embarrassing for amazon and they changed it. Pretty quickly To to a different sort of piece of tape for that box that removed any any confusion and so they ran into some some trouble with that and this was clearly inadvertent or i assume it was inadvertent. I don't think amazon was trying to replicate hitler on it's on it's on. Its app icon. Burger king though kind of went into this on purpose. And i don't know if you've heard about this but you know burger king put out a kind of an ad or a promotion on international women's day international women's day was last monday. And it's a big deal. Like i remember when i moved to asia and china in particular Even in the in the mid two thousand it was a major day so was kids day children's day both of these days in china really really big and so international. Women's day rolled around on monday as usual And burger king. Put out a tweet to mark the occasion and it contained just five words but those five words caused quite an uproar burger king. Then put out a second tweet right afterwards Which helped to explain the first tweet. So one on earth am i talking about. I'm actually going to turn it over to bill. Maher who the. Us late night. Talk show host on hbo and he addressed this scandal and explains it on his show from friday. Burger king was trying to be funny in an ad. And i think they were funny. They were talking about a program they have to increase the number of women chefs. there aren't a comparative number of women in the world. Maybe they should get more opportunities. Maybe there's a reason why they don't. We should address that. That's what they were trying to say. So they had an ad..

"You're giving the agreement to isn't going to push back on it. Then why wouldn't you give yourself that additional discretion. Why wouldn't you protect your business in in that regard right so i mean really. There's no reason not to do it. as an employer. Unless you're going to get a certain level of pushback from the employees and then we get into sort of that position that we were talking about last week around termination clauses Of how much negotiating power do you have as an employee in this situation. You know. maybe that's a deal breaker for you. Maybe you're prepared to say you know what i'm not gonna take this job unless you remove that particular clause and the employer has to make a decision in terms of how much they really want that particular employee for that particular role right on okay. Anything else to add on this when or any other pieces of Of wisdom that you would like to impart no. I don't i don't think so. I did want to quickly touch upon one other thing. That's that's coming up cam. And this is sort of relevant to remote work and that's governing jurisdiction of the agreement. I know you and i talked about this before. It's a really complicated issue. And you know it's not something unfortunately that we can give really really clear councilon other than again. This is something that you need to sit down with council locally to discuss because with all of the remote work that we're having we're starting to see now where you have an employee who lives in i don't know on -tario for example that signing an agreement with a company that's based in say british columbia or maybe california and you go through the agreement and you realize that there's a provision in the agreement that says that that individual will be bound by the laws of british columbia for example despite the fact that they work in ontario. Well you know as an employer you may want to hold that individual to the jurisdictional law of that particular province but that doesn't necessarily mean that that's the jurisdiction that's going to govern so if you have an employee on -tario for example in their they live on -tario they're working on -tario they're paying ontario taxes Maybe there's you know a satellite office of the company. That's based in toronto for example. So you know. Maybe once a week. They're going to that satellite office in toronto. And despite the fact that the company is headquartered in b. c. and you've signed an agreement under b. c. law you're likely bound by the laws of ontario. And not the laws of bc So this is really really something that employees working abroad Need to look into because just because you're signing an agreement that says you'll be bound by the law of particular country or particular province. That's not necessarily the law. That's going to govern in need to sit down with council locally and have a determination as to what what law my bound by. Because obviously that's gonna have all kinds of significance again in terms of your entitlements upon termination the enforceability of certain provisions in the agreement All of this stuff and this again cam this is going to be another huge huge huge issue going forward with so many people working.
