Big Fucking Chicken
I was curious what other people thought about the new "Big Bucking Chicken" commercial from Burger King so i typed "Big Fucking Chicken" into google and got jon sullivan's site. He pretty much covers all of the points i would have made had i written my own comments so i'll just let you read what he says. Please visit his site for more interesting thoughts and stories.

Big Fucking Chicken - Mar 15th, '06
1) Personally I really like the Burger King ads. It's like they had "The Kids In The Hall" do their marketing or something. BarGrl absolutely hates them. Especially the ones where men in their underwear are confronted by a frightening man in a mask who tries to get them to eat his breakfast sandwich.
And the new commercial where we're introduced to the big fucking chicken is great simply for it's audacity. I keep wondering how this ad was pitched to the Burger King folks. "It's a big fucking chicken in a rodeo. And there's a song about the big fucking chicken. That's it. Just that." Apparently they were having trouble getting people to look at the TV with the last series which featured women wearing fur lying on top off each other inside a burger. It certainly is impossible to not look when you hear a song about a big fucking chicken. Big fucking chicken. Big fucking chicken. Big fucking chicken. It certainly does get stuck in your head doesn't it?
Burger King is the "South Park" of hamburger chains. I really think they're trying to see how far they can go before the FCC shuts them down.
And, by the way, the big fucking chicken sandwich is pretty good, as such things go. And I think we should all go get one as an encouragement for Burger King to keep doing ads which are just completely wrong.

While I'm certainly a big fan of anything containing references to chickens as well utilizing profanity (i.e. "jesus christ in a fucking chicken basket"), I must confess to a general dislike of anything "Burger King". I think it's mostly born of an extremem dislike of their fries, coupled with the deeply disturbing image of the "Burger" King himself in recent commercials.
Mostly, though, I was amused by the fact that your counter is sponsored by Raddison...ah, the memories...
