We can all sleep a little bit more soundly tonight because Burger King has retired their creepy mascot. According to USA Today they are opting to get rid of him to focus on moms and a healthier menu. I don’t care what the reason is, as long he is gone.
Seriously I grew up with horror movies and that creepy Burger King gave me nightmares. I don’t know how he survived as long as he did. Maybe he wasn’t only scary to me, but he also scared the crap out of the people who could get rid of him so much so they kept him alive until now.
Long die the Burger King!
Yesterday on American Idol Paul McDonald sang Smokey Robinson’s Track of My Tears and on Jimmy Kimmel Live they pointed out he might have sang a lyric wrong. When Smokey Sings (wait that’s another song) the song he sings, “I’m masquerading”, but it sounds like when McDonald did it he sang, “I’m masturbating.” You listen to it and be the judge. I am agreeing with JKL and going with masturbating which gives a whole new meaning to Track of My Tears…
BTW am I the only who thinks he looks like a member of the Bee Gees?
For some reason the first McDonalds ad was on the front of page of YouTube, so I had to check it out. What I saw from the ad that made its debut on June 27, 1962 shocked me. Seriously it is amazing that the fast food restaurant is as huge as it is after that ad. I even think that that version of Ronald McDonald is scarier than the newest version of the Burger King King and I never that would be possible.
Before Andrew McCarthy was working for a department store in Mannequin, he was working for Pepsi for Burger King. He looks as cute now as he did when he was 21 in that 1983 commercial.
