Burger King is so weird

No, it's not that eccentric.

Remember Subservient Chicken? Dr. Angus?

This is another phase of their "KFC and Wendy's are for old people, Mickey D's is for babies" campaign.

They're clearly meant to look like Slipknot, but they don't sound anything like them which I found a bit jarring. It looks like one of those strange campaigns that manages to alienate everyone.

They removed the funniest pun already (self link) coqsuckers.

I reckon they look a little like the insane clown posse.

I once knew a guy who was sitting in a suburban Burger King when a car swerved off the road, through the parking lot, jumped a curb, and crashed through the BK's front window straight into his lap, breaking both his legs.

The guy was a dick, but I think it was the pain talking.

Does Slipknot have grounds for legal action?
