New Zealand fights back against attractiveness

Pity poor Burger King. A distant number two to McDonald's, they try to close the gap with a little T&A and a bunch of New Zealand tightasses shut them down. It appears that the Kiwis don't allow advertising that uses "sex appeal simply to draw attention to a product." Apparently, some people in New Zealand have daughters or are women or something.

It is like a more feminist version of the British rule that prevents alcohol companies from implying that booze leads to sexual success, which I believe is known in the UK as the "No Truth in Advertising Law."
