The Whopper Virgins by Burger King Challenges McDonalds with Viral Ads

Burger King's "The Whopper Virgins" advertising campaign challenges McDonalds.
The agency Crispin Porter & Bogusky, used popular documentary filmmaker Stacy Peralta to create these new commercials and viral ads. They sent a research team to villages in Thailand, Greenland and Romania and used the old Coke or Pepsi style of taste testing challenge to ask people who have never tasted a burger to compare the Whopper with McDonald's Big Mac; promoting the Whopper as "the world's purest taste test". What has advertising become? The response to the Burger King Whopper Virgins campaign has been tremendous online; I'm still not sure what to make of this.
