Burger King has a new menu item called chicken fries(?!). So to promote said 'chicken fries' their ad agency came up with a fake band called Coq Roq, part of the overall visual look of coq roq is wearing masks. These masks and those who wear them come across as some kind of weird avian/humaniod nightmare person(s). Now this campaign has already had some troubles with the name and some of the double entendre in the campaign with the name, e.g. 'groupies love coq'.

Now I found all of this hilarious because it was stupid, plain and simple. Now dumb is coming and ruining the party. Nü-metalers Slipknot are now suing Burger King and their ad agency for swiping their style "in order to influence the Slipknot generation to purchase Chicken Fries."

Stop, when did slipknot become the voice of a generation? I mean I know much can be learned from a bunch of Middle-class Iowans who are angry at the world for no good reason. Can they really expect anyone outside of their fanbase to take this seriously? The full spiel can be found at The Smoking Gun
