We sure are seeing some unusual themes in advertising in 2018. Ikea made the ad you pee on, and now Burger King is rolling out a spot set on death row.

The commercial, by agency Buzzman, is from France, a country that abolished the death penalty many decades ago. (So, perhaps they can laugh about it now?) It shows a condemned prisoner receiving his last meal from a prison guard.

Of course, it’s a Whopper with fries.
