Does anyone else find the current Burger King commericials especially disturbing?

I mean, if I woke up and found a man with a big plastic head in my bed, I think I would flip the hell out, not eat a breakfast sandwich and then laugh about it.

And there’s others… in another ad, a dog wakes the man up, who investigates the back yard and finds the King at his back door with a breakfast sandwich. The man eats the sandwich and suddenly the King is invited in to play with the man’s dog and everyone laughs. If I woke up and found you in my back yard, I’d shoot first and ask questions later.

The big-headed King even makes it to the Hootie commercial. You see the King briefly in this one too, pushing a girl on a swing.

Now with the introduction of the Enourmous Breakfast, it’s becoming obvious that Burger King is going after McDonald’s breakfast market. When I think of fast food breakfast, I think of two places: McDonalds and Chick-fil-a. I never think of any of the other fast food places… which is what I’m sure most of the rest of America does too. So, I can see why Burger King makes the big-headed King the center of attention in the commercial. So you remember: Burger King.

Although, now that I think about it. I’m not the only one talking about it. Just google ::google(Burger King Commercial):: and see how many other people are talking about it. One of the fundamentals of Marketing 101, create an ad that everyone talks about and remembers the product. That makes an effective commercial.
