Speaking of strange ad campaigns...
Has anyone else caught the new BK ads for their Chicken Fries product?
Let's start right out with saying that whoever came up with the name should be shot - it *sounds* nasty. They're basically chicken tenders shaped like big fries or fried mozzarella sticks. But it gets worse.
They've been running this really odd ad on Adult Swim recently, and *often*.
Imagine, if you will... a thrash concert. The band members are all wearing strange chicken headpieces. Everyone is writhing around on the dance floor and looking really grody-sweaty. And they keep saying 'fried'. Got the atmosphere? Great.
Now add:
The band's name is Coq Roq.
The tagline is "Bob your head!"
The lyrics include "Bob your head, to the beat! Bob your head, shake your little white meat!"
Now add in that the *only* people you see eating the long cylindrical food items are girls, generally all in one long insertion. Oh, and you never see them bite, that I recall.
Sex sells? REALLY?

So I'm in the drive-through at the local Burger King, right, and I've been totally victimized by the sheer unfortunate situation I have found myself in. Not only have I been inundated with horrible advertising due to the recent excessive amount of free time life has prescribed me but I've also been gassing my car up lately and driving. And today I found that my arms and feet conspired to take me to the Carrboro Burger King in order to test my theory that chicken fries are inedible. So here I am eating them and I find that they're just as not bad I secretly hoped they wouldn't be.
It's fast food. And I laud them for their creativity in product. But they're shitty barechested ad campaign should result in a firing and a subsequent Snapple hiring. Damn Madison and sons.
