Je-_zus_, have you seen the latest terrifying Burger King spot, with the giant plasticine Golem King mask peering in the window at the lissome blonde? Proof positive that the BK people do indeed know how out-creeping their commercials are.

I’m still not gonna eat their swill, but I’m beginning to enjoy the voluptuous horror of the Burger King.

I remember your thread when the _first_ commercial came out! I laugh my head off at the Kong-King, because it’s just so goofy looking.

This thread title reminded me of the Kliban cartoon “What the City of New York did with King Kong”…showing a street vendor selling burgers.
