Mary J. Blige regrets Burger King commercial.

Mary J. Blige says Burger King ad was a mistake
June 29, 2012, 1:41 PM EST
NEW YORK (AP) -- Singer Mary J. Blige says the Burger King commercial that caused a major backlash for her was a mistake.
Bing: Burger King apologizes to Mary J. Blige
The clip was released in April and featured Blige singing about the fast-food chain's new chicken snack wraps. It immediately went viral, and some in the black community said it was stereotypical. Burger King pulled it after one day and said it was unfinished.
In an interview with radio station Hot 97 this week, Blige said Burger King "made me look ridiculous." She said she thought she "would be shot in an iconic way."
Says Blige, "I wanted to crawl under the bed."
She said she initially did the commercial because she thought it would be a "great branding opportunity."
Burger King didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment Friday.

What else can she do now apart from saying it was meant to be an 'iconic' ad?

I'm not here for this "I didn't know what was going on" tea Mary is trying to serve. You knew what you were singing when you were singing it.
She thought it would be "shot in a iconic way". What does that even mean?
"Why is Taylor Swift regarded as such a good role model anyway? I wouldn't want any daughter/niece of mine to grow into a girl-bashing, *****-shaming, boy-crazy, eternally-virginal damsel in distress who seems to perennially look at the world through the prism of a victim. That's not empowering. That's not even healthy." - U4EA

Agreed. Did she not know she was singing about chicken, lettuce, and three cheeses?

Doesn't she have a marketing team? Or a publicist to advise her otherwise?

I don't think it's a saga at all. It's actually kind of a happy story.
