"Kong My Whopper"

It's a new Burger King ad line, intended to tie in with the King Kong movie. Really.

Now, I might think it actually sounds closer to a line from a certain Chris Morris 'Blue Jam' sketch, but I'm sure that's just my warped mind.

...isn't it?

I was actually commenting on this yesterday, about how I don't think I could ever actually be drunk enough to utter those words as I ordered a burger. "I'd like the King Kong offer please" or "I want that King Kong thing" maybe, but never "Kong My Burer". It's like the less succesful, not quite as popular follow-up show to Pimp My Ride.

Well I certainly wouldn't want to say it to a plastic surgeon!

King My Whopper? Didn't they put out a couple of EPs on Sub-Pop?

Whong my Kopper, Whore my Kipper, etc

I think if anyone tells me to 'Kong my Whopper' I'd be rather inclined to tell them to 'Fuck Off'. Of course, this maybe due to me not quite grasping the zeitgeist.

That said, King Kong is a love story between a 40 foot gorilla and a less than 6 foot blonde. Surely there are moral and natural laws against such a thing? I refer you to my recent rant about this.

Then again, if repeated aloud fast-enough, and after a few helpful gins, Burger King sounds a lot like 'buggering'. Which is an irony only fully appreciated six hours after ingestion.

It's ruined many a mother, you know. Which I can say without any sense of irony what-so-ever.

BWA-HAHAHA!

Suddenly I get the urge to go large.
