I WANT MY F$CKING WHOPPER!!

Bravo, Bravo, Bravo to Burger King for having some BALLS!

Can you imagine proposing this to your client, if your client was Burger King?

"Yeah, we want to make a commercial where we tell your customers in a specific store that we no longer make our flagship product."

"Then, we want to replace that flagship product with A COMPETING PRODUCT and see what people say, AND THEN BLAME THEM FOR DOING IT."

This has to be Crispin Porter, right? I don’t even have to bother looking it up.

This is non-traditional advertising done right. I saw the initial 30-second spot during an episode of Sunday’s King of the Hill. I then went online to Whopper Freakout and watched the whole spot, all eight minutes of it.

It’s worth it. If I could figure out how to have the embed NOT auto-start, I’d post it here. But I can’t. So just click above and watch it.

Semi-interesting observation #347: *nearly* every customer that wants the whopper is overweight.
