Damnit, Burger King needs to fire it's ad agency. Seriously.
First you've got creepy Burger King guy. Then they had women dressed up as different parts of a hamburger (mmm...green taffeta!).
Now they've got this "big bucking chicken" with a guy riding a freakishly giant bronco-like chicken while cheesy synthesizer music plays in the background.
How? How does this make you want a Whopper?
And why is it on ALL the damn time?
Yes, I know it sounds like I watch too much television. And I probably do. But I don't have more than basic cable (i.e. the four major networks and PBS) and half of my viewing is on PBS.
So Burger King, I know I probably won't buy many of your burgers (frankly most fast food tastes like crap) but it would sure make my television viewing a more pleasant experience if you could just go back to showing pictures of burger patties over an open flame. And who knows? People might actually want to buy your burgers.

I so totally agree. I actually haven't eaten at Burger King since 2002. I was dating a drivethrough monkey at the time, bad breakup combined with a six month diet consisting of a significant number of Rodeo Burgers equals nothing resembling a desire to eat there. These commericals aren't doing anything to alleviate that.
Also? I'm rather scared of the plastic mask guy. Cree.Pee.
Cree Pee indeed. I mean, I have no positive feelings at all towards Burger King at this point. Which, I mean, I'm only an historian, but I would think creating positive feelings toward your product would sorta be the point of advertising, no?
