Today's Video: The King is dead, boys/ And it's so lonely on a limb

Last week, Costa Rica’s government banned TV ads from fast food chain Burger King depicting mothers hiring a hitman to kill “the king”. The commercials “trivialized violence” according to one government official, while one group complained that the ads were offensive to women.

Is the decision justified or much ado about nothing? Take a look for yourself:

My view – much like the controversy over this ad the hoopla by Costa Rica’s government is overblown. (Pity that the moms in the commercial didn’t chose to target Ronald McDonald).
