That Burger King Campaign is Friggin' Weird!

The agency that's handling the Burger King ad campaign must be smoking crack, because a giant, plastic Burger King staring me in the face atop a high beam, while shaking me (ok the innocent guy) no less, is NOT amusing! It's downright scary! A giant, plastic Burger King popping up ANYWHERE is scary! Not cool! Not making me want to buy a burger. What happened to the friendly cartoon king of the old days?

I thought the new campaign was kind of bizarre myself. Like, "What the hell is this?" Then I got visions of someone doing that to Mike and... well, then it just became pretty funny. But that's just me.

I dunno man, even Ian gets frightened (well, he probably wouldn't use that word but...)of that ad when it comes on!, The King looks like a crazed lunatic! There's another one where he shows up in some guy's bed in the morning or something. I'd leap out the window!

I saw that one! That was just freaky! They're all freaky, skin crawling is a good description. What the hell is it supposed to mean, for chrissakes?

I have a morbid fascination w the plastic burger king mask. Disturbing in a 70's Oompa Loompa kinda way.
