Melbourne, May 14 (ANI): A kangaroo in the Northern Territory of Australia has been ruffling a few feathers by the amorous advances he has been making to the women of the area.
The well-endowed kangaroo has been hanging around the Honeymoon Ranges in Tennant Creek recently, making every effort to woo a woman.
One resident, who walks along the bike track to the Mary Ann Dam regularly, revealed her encounter with the animal, which had followed her early one morning.
“I turned around and saw this big kangaroo behind me, so I hastened my steps. It seemed a bit odd, but I continued walking and didn”t think much about it,” ntnews.com.au quoted her as saying.
“Then on the return walk he was there waiting for me. With his male pride on full alert, he started circling me. There was no doubt about what he wanted, the randy old thing.
“It was a huge kangaroo and quite intimidating. I yelled at him to go away, waved my hands about and let him know I wasn”t interested, but he was persistent – I”ll give him that,” she revealed.
The woman said the animal bounded off when other walkers approached.
But that was not the end of the raunchy roo”s antics, as he made another appearance at a recent nighttime speedway meeting.
Mother-of-three, Tanya Wilson, who was behind the pits, noticed he had come to check out the action.
“I thought it was strange that a kangaroo would come to such a noisy place, but I grew up around kangaroos so I went up to say hello,” she said.
“There I was having a nice chat to him when I heard others calling out to me, warning me to step away.
“I didn”t take any notice of them because I didn”t think I had anything to worry about. I thought he was just a cute, friendly kangaroo,” she explained.
Wilson was oblivious to the amorous nature of the interlude, but the kangaroo”s intentions were clearly evident to other speedway fans.
“Yeah, apparently he was quite aroused. I”m actually glad I didn”t notice,” she added.
There were reports a male speedway fan confronted the kangaroo but came off second best when the beast punched him in the face. (ANI)
Furore over Burger King’s ‘raunchy’ sandwich ad
Washington, July 1 (ANI): A print advertisement of Burger King’s sandwich in Singapore has come under fire because of its “distasteful” and unappetizing references to oral sex.
The ad for the “BK Super Seven Incher” shows the “mind-blowing” sandwich near the open mouth of a wide-eyed, red-lipsticked woman accompanied by the suggestive tagline: “It’ll blow your mind away.”
“Fill your desire for something long, juicy and flame-grilled,” Fox News quoted the ad as saying further.
The ad is a limited time promotion in Singapore-a society known around the world for its strict government controls of social conduct.
And now advertising experts have said that the ad leaves little to the imagination and should be discontinued.
Mark Duffy, a blogger and an advertising copywriter at a major New York City firm, said that the advertisement was among the “worst” he had ever seen in more than 17 years of his experience.
“I’ve seen a lot of sexual innuendo ads and this is about the worst, especially for something as mainstream as Burger King. I was a little repulsed by it. It’s really misogynistic to women and it’s also unappetizing,” said Duffy.
Duffy said that the woman’s face in the advertisement appeared to have been retouched to make it look like a doll, and that the American cheese on the sandwich seemed a little too white.
“It’s outlandish. They obviously didn’t hire a top-notch food photographer,” he said.
Duffy, who called on Burger King to terminate the ad, said: “It’s really distasteful on the appetite level and on the social level. The ad pretty much speaks for itself. How much more do they have to spell it out for you?”
Lauren Kuziner, a spokeswoman for Burger King, said that the campaign was produced by a local Singaporean agency, and not by the company’s U.S. advertising firm, Crispin Porter plus Bogusky.
“Burger King Corp. values and respects all of its guests. This print ad is running to support a limited time promotion in the Singapore market and is not running in the U.S. or any other markets. The campaign is supported by the franchisee in Singapore and has generated positive consumer sales around this limited time product offer in that market,” said Kuziner in a statement.
He, however, refused to identify the Singapore-based firm, and did not respond to requests for comment on whether Burger King had received complaints in connection with the ad. (ANI)
