Burger King Burger Shots

The other day, I saw a commercial on TV promoting a new Burger King menu item. This item was the Burger Shots, a mini burger, similar to the White Castle shooters. In this commerical two male friends sit on a bench, talking about this new item. The one male who has the burger shots tells his other friend to be quiet, acting as if the burger shots were newly born babies. The other friend, slightly confused by his friend's action sits in amazement when beautiful women start to crowd around the man with the burger shots, oogle-ing over his food, as if they were cute babies.
This commerical plays off the idea that women can be easily seduced or wooed if they see a man caring for a baby by himself. The idea is outrageuos, party because its a parody on what women do sometimes when they see this, and also because not all women, espically beautiful, touchy women, act this way like the commerical generalizes.
