I will find you, Burger King Ad Exec ... and I will kill you

**Have you seen the ones that offer 50 cents off a Chicken Whopper if you cluck? What an interesting idea; how better to find out if the average American values their dignity at 50 cents or less. **

Okay, cool. A commercial I have actually seen and can comment on!

I saw that commercial last night, and it cracked me up, and gave me something to think about as well. Hey, I’d cluck to save fifty cents! The experience of clucking (and waving my arms at the same time, because for me it wouldn’t be complete unless I did that too) is just goofy enough to be interesting. I have no dignity anyhow, so what the hell. Plus I’d have an extra four bits to show for it!

Gee, and I thought a Chicken Whopper was about the one who can’t get it up to get the Dairy Queen pregnant!

They now have a new Chicken Whopper commercial - people are now clucking and strutting about like chickens.

I’m not sure if I was amused, or just embarrassed for the people who chose to be in the ad.

**Haven’t seen the BK one yet, but the new McDonald’s one for chicken strips is infinitely worse:

“I’ll TELL ya what I want, what I really, really want!”
“So TELL me what ya want, what ya really, really want!”
“I’ll TELL ya what I want, what I really, really want!”
“So TELL me what ya want, what ya really, really want!”

…and so on. I want a shotgun. **

I really, really want to go into the McDonald’s down the street and go up to the counter and say,

“Let me tell you what I want. What I really, really want. This is what I want, what I really, really want…”

And then give my order. I’m sure they would have no idea what the hell I was doing.

Y’all do realize that “Tell ya what I want …” song is the Spice Girls right? RIGHT?

So yeah, the commercial is stupid. I might find it as worthy o fignoring as nearly every other commercial if the incessant clucking didn’t remind me of - and force to to perform - the boistrous breathing excercise displayed at the beginning of “The Road to Wellville.”

What is this “dignity” thing to which you persons keep referring?

And… please don’t joke about killing people. I’m very delicate.

Burger King really is doing a lot regarding the Chicken Whopper™. The first day they offered it, they officially changed they name to Chicken King-then changed it back the next day. Of course, it was April Fool’s Day, but still…

Interface2x saith:

down with a desire to write a song and thought Eureka! This is the melody that I shall be known for! ???

I don’t know why, but this just cracks me up. I can just imagine a guy sitting at the piano. “Finally! My song is complete! Now all it needs is some lyrics. Hold the pickles, hold the…cheese? Tomatoes? Onions-that’s it, onions! Hold the pickles, hold the onions, avoid those things like plague or bunions… No, no! That doesn’t work at all!”

And I’m pretty sure Have I Your Way is not “the single most annoying song to be unleashed on modern society.” I always heard it was MacArthur Park (or at least that’s what I heard from Dave Barry).

I had no idea, and would be ashamed of myself if I did.

Can’t say as I’m surprised, though…

"I wanna UNH!, I wanna UNH!, I wanna UNH!, I wanna UNH!, I wanna really-really-really-really-SCREAM MY FREAKIN’ BRAINS OUT!!!

AAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!

In which case it may amuse you even more to discover that McDonald’s’s old “You deserve a break today/ So get up and get away/ To McDonalds/ We do it all for you…” was penned by none other than Mr. Barry “Big Nose” Manilow himself, before “Mandy” made him a star. Hey, the man had to make a living somehow.

And don’t ask me why I know that…

**I hate the commercial because chickens shouldn’t really be celebrating the new chicken whopper, should they?

Or are these chickens like the cows they have at Milliways? You know, the kind that actually want to be eaten? **

Heh. This reminds me of those cardboard cutouts they had (have? its been awhile) at Chick-Fil-A. A cow, standing on its hind legs, wearing a sandwich board sign reading “Eat More Chikin.” [sic]

All I know is all of us in the NYC area are getting BOMBARDED with that stupid chicken ad. I swear I’m going to rip my eyeballs out the next time I see fucking commercial. Why do they play it every 5 minutes? why god why?

…All we ask is, “bring your young 'uns. Twice every day.”

I don’t know, I kind of like it.
