Rated 4.00 Say what you want about corporate food, you gotta admit this is a bold, fresh advertising idea. This ain't Adbusters, it's Adcritic.

Rated 5.00 It is funny that anyone would expect Crispin to be "better" than this. This is what they do, shock. The fact that this many people have commented shows they still have it. Kudos.

Rated 1.00 Horrible! Again, we use people for commercialism and money. I think it's cruel to find these people and have them eat a hamburger. Leave them alone. Everyone has their own culture. Let it be.

Rated 1.00 It made made me feel creepy. Fair enough, it's a big interesting idea. But the moment it becomes marketing then it's wrong. What are the viewers meant to feel watching this? I love everything CBP do but this is just so wrong.

Rated 1.00 That just made me very sad. It's like clear-cutting the last bit of untouched rain forest on Earth to ask the people who live nearby to judge which brand of Astroturf is nicer. Or something like that. I can't think of a good analogy right now. I'm too depressed.

Rated 2.00 Oh my God! They should do one of these for a big cigarette firm too. That way Marlboro or whoever can be the first to get their product in front of a hard to reach new audience. Yeah. What else? This could be the beginning of something great!

Rated 5.00 How noble of you all to suddenly care so much for a few of the world's more remote cultures. Would you react just as angrily if a bunch of Laotian fishermen came here so we could taste their food? Or would that be OK, since, we're "sophisticated" enough to handle it without our entire society collapsing? You kill them with your kindness.

Rated 4.00 Jesus guys, its a burger, not a cigarette or a disease we are bringing from america so why dont we all try to lighten up a little.

Rated 2.00 This particular "ad" is too long. Though the idea is really smart, and the ads are more interesting than this masterbatory "new media" piece. I do find the filmmakers talk about "it's fascinating when you think that these people don't even know how to eat a hamburger..." kind of dopey. It's a little too serious for such a small-minded bit of corporate testing. Yet the idea is a good one. And to all you haters out there, they aren't erecting restaurants in the rain forest. It's just a taste test. Each and every one of you, by virtue of being in the ad business are part of the machine. Glass houses people.
