1. If that guy
wakes up with the King in his bed, does that make him the queen?
disturbing commercial idea for a fast food 'restaurant'.

2. "A homophobic element"?
Please clue me in to that. I missed that part of it. I think I was hungry when I saw it, so I probably was thinking about the old double croissanwhich and not the King in the bed, which would be a bit creepy.

It's still a far better thing than "I'm Lovin' It," and all that followed that from McDs.

Oh, and Carl's Jr/Hardees still have the best fast food breakfast around.

11. Hmm.
I suppose. It could also be just that the guy might think he was dreaming, and touched the freaky thing in his bed to see if it's real.

I'll watch closer next time.

4. I thought it was more surreal
Than homophobic. You wake up and find this giant headed, unchanging smiling thing staring at you - creepy yet oddly humorous in a way.

7. I kind of liked it.
Sort of like the spongmonkeys, in a creepy sort of way.

Not homophobic at all.

13. I think it is very creepy.

14. Creeps me out too...................
If I woke up and that dude was in bed with me I'd think I was flashing back to the early 70's. That is a horrible commercial and whoever thought it up should be made to lick Karl Rove's underwear.

20. That's what I said
whoever made that commercial HAD to be stoned. I do like the mention of meat twice with two guys in bed.

18. Old school BK commercial
http://www.retrojunk.com/video/1/retro-tv-commercials.html

I think they used the same frying pans for the 'this is your brain on drugs' fried egg commercials.

Did anyone ever win the 'war on drugs' or the 'war on poverty'? I never saw that fucking headline. But we can win the war on stupidity if we get out and vote.
