the king was easily the best ad campaign any fast food joint has had in years. only makes sense that they would kill it.

now they're going to do the same retarded trendy shit as everyone else- here's some shitty pop music set to images of our food/people eating our food. please don't tell me 'i'm lovin it' has been more successful than the king...

they should just start a series of 'i'm fuckin' hatin' it' commercials where they point out that mcdonalds tastes like asshole.

You do realize that "normal" human beings get paid to develop ad campaigns like this?

This concept was epic fail ...

what? are you saying you disliked the concept because the commercials were not written by people with giant plastic heads?

I disagree.

The King was the only reason I ever heard about BK. That face is iconic.

Did BK even have a mascot before this?

The king was a good character because he never said anything. He's less like a clown and more like a guy in a micky mouse costume.
