Ladies and gentlemen, this morning i have looked RIDICULOUS straight in the eyes and asked him, "What in the world?!"
I have been informed that Burger King is retiring The King, the heart and soul of their unsanitary business. Now I for one am not a fan of Burger King, actually. This statement goes way back to when at age seven i was absolutely traumatized for life by a video on youtube of an employee bathing in the sink with the dishes used to prepare their food. I learned that day there are some really, REALLY sick people out there.
Yet still I'm horrified they're actually willing to do this. I mean, what are they going to call themselves? Burger? Are they getting rid of The King or just the mascot thing all together? So many questions!!
According to yahoo news, and i quote-
"The move is an effort by the struggling fast food chain to boost slumping sales by focusing its mark on the freshness of its food rather than the funny factor of its ads. Its rolling out a new campaign on Saturday sans The King to tout its fresh and new products like it's California Whopper, which has guacamole."
So, basically all there saying is they're kicking out The King only to bring in more healthier options. What is our country coming too? America is known for it's fattening fast food companies and the creepy mascots that support them! Don't get me wrong- I'm a teenage girl, I'd much rather have an Asian salad at Mcdonalds than one of their calorie-crammed angus beef burgers! Healthy is ok, but if they destroy everything grease loaded on their menus then its not fast food anymore and BAM there goes America!
"We won't be seeing The King for a while now," says Burger King spokesperson BJ Monzon.
All I have left to say is Ronald Mcdonald- you're next.
Do you really think The King is creepy or is it just the red-headed clown that creeps you out?
