First this thread cracks me up every time I see it. And yes, he seems like a rapper gone bad from some alternate dimension- lol.

Moose, well one could apply your theory to the M&Ms characters. I mean don't they know they aren't long for this world- especially the peanut ones?

I know, who thinks of these things !? I find it quite freaky over here in the UK and France when they have smiling,cute little piggies and cows in outfits in Butchers windows or to advertise meat products. Really weird and a little spooky. In England I have also seen a few butcher's windows with Foxes in fox hunting clothes looking really delighted... Bizarre considering that nobody eats foxes and are therefore not a product sold in those shops and in dubious taste as fox hunting is pretty nasty stuff...

The BK "king" is just hideous! I hate that marketing vehicle so much that I change the channel whenever it comes on. In fact, I find the marketing so repugnant that I wouldn't eat at BK (not that I eat a whole lot of fast food, anyway). The inane dance he does in the "western whopper" commercial where all the people, including women, grow those bushy moustaches, and his oversized head -- definitely super creepy!!

On the other hand, I guess the annoying commercials are working as planned because I remember them...even though I don't want to!

Default The King a Porn Star ?

The next thing you'll see is him staring in the Porn movies as the next Big star. Maybe his movie could be titiled something like ''Rein of Terror''. The Promo would say something to this affect ''Watch the King in action as he Reins over his subjects''......

Anyway ya never know ??

Actually I think the King is kinda funny. I liked the Paris Hilton Burger King ads as well. Although for different reasons.

Paris might not be the brightest bulb around, but I'll give credit where credit's due. She looked hot in that Burger King ad. So much so many women's groups were complaining about it, which I'm sure is one of the reasons it was finally pulled.

Paris was actually in the Carl's Jr. ads.
