I really think that Burger King has some of the best ads out there. I think some of there internet based advertising is the best.

That is a great ad.

I love how the gay rocker dude clarifies that it's not that particular Burger King that he has been frequenting for Whoppers since he was ten.

I guess I'm warped, but that was hilarious.

Burger King ads have been insane for quite some time now. I believe this began after they fired everyone in the ad department and hired monkeys to bang on typewriters to generate commercial ideas.

This one is actually pretty normal, comparatively.

The firm they hired is Crispin Porter and Bogusky. I think they have done an amazing job with the advertisements. Couple more that I think are great.

and a good article on it and the firm http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/93/roost.html

Of course there is the all time classic of the Burger King advertising.

What the hell was that!?!?!

Just for that, I am purposely NOT eating at Burger King for one year.

In truth, I likely would not have eaten there anyway, but on principle I will make it official.

The only reason it is not a lifetime boycott is because somehow, and for whatever reason, they managed to sneak Brooke Burke in at the very end.

I ate a couple tendercrisp bacon cheddar ranch sandwiches because of this genius commercial.

I am guessing you will also not be a fan of Ugoff

Bruno is funnier.

I had more of an issue with Hootie being the lead pitchman for anything.

Thanks. That is great stuff. I think I'll get a Whopper tomorrow.

To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
