The Burger King is a Stalker

April 17, 2005 - - -

This has been bothering me for some time, but I haven't posted about it until now. Have you ever seen the commercial where the guy opens his windowshades in the morning and finds this bigass plasticheaded Burger King standing right there in his face? How could any person in their right mind not scream and run? And then, to top it off, the freak hands him food. Now, taking food from a stranger is bad enough, but you should never take food from a freaky-headed bigass BurgerHeadMan! Eeuugh!

It seems that I'm not the only one to notice this either.

That's a pretty bizarre piece of advertising, all right, but the "Singing Cowboy" is the one that got to me. That ad certainly wasn't aimed at the 9 to 12 year-old age group, I think.

Still - I'm thinking of giving Sally shooting lessons just in case.

I'm surprised you've made no mention of the commercial where the guy wakes up to discover he's been sharing his bed with the Burger King.

Hi there. You obviously have absolutely NO idea what advertising is about. What Burger King has done, is take to their target demographic and find out what they think is funny. Sex still sells, but humour still sells better. It's ignorant people like you, who these type of adds abounce off of and the company gets negative feedback to something that's great. I've said it a few times already, but you, sir, are an idiot. Try going to a college with professors that knows what the hell they're talking about before you start trying to make your opinions so noted. Good Day.

Addendum: By the way, whoever else reads this, you're probably an idiot too. However, if you really WANT to make a difference, go to burgerking.com - I'm certain the people who are making millions of dollars would LOVE to hear about how you think their add is creepy and then laugh at you while they toast to your stupidity. Try to understand the humour before posting on public forums. It really is quite annoying.

Well. "Random Person" is obviously an "intellectual." That is, someone who's been educated (well) beyond his intelligence.

He probably doesn't realize that Sales and Marketing people are generally too stupid to get real jobs - that's why they're in Sales and Marketing.

The ad is stupid. Most ads are, which may just be the point.

And finally, Mr/Ms Smart Person, try to remember: Cogitationis poenam nemo meretur!
