These Burger King ads that are out now, with the "KING" showing up in the bed with that man, and then at the window of another--- is it just me, or does this freak you out too?

I mean, I know it is a costume, but gosh, he sure is freaky looking, with that constant grin.

:shock: It don't make me want a whopper, it makes me want a home security device!!!

I work for Burger King and they freak me out as well. And what's with all the BLING? I haven't met a person yet who said that they like them.

It has served it's purpose. The more annoying an ad is, the more it sticks in people's heads and they have to talk about it. It doesn't really make the product more appealing, but it brings much needed attention to the company.

Wow, I did retain something from that marketing degree I paid for and never used.

I like them commercials. I even like the Hootie ones with the king and Brooke and the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders and... all that... stuff

And the subservient/chicken challenge chickens. Now THEREs some weird.

But then, I'm weird like that.

Oh, and still no Emberglo.

They don't creep me out, they make me want to punch the King in the head. Kind of like the old clown punching bag that I had as a kid. You punch it and it just comes back for more.

ROFL ROFL


Well, he creeps me everytime, even when I know he's coming up. The window ad, when the birds all land on him... thats strange. What is that suppose to mean?

The whole ad campaign is But, like Steve said, that may be the thing they were striving for, since it has us talking. :scratch:
