  • The king is dead: Long live the king

    Burger King ditches the King mascot.

    What the hell took them so long?

    They used the King when I was very young 30+ years ago, they dropped him, they brought him back, they dropped him...so they'll bring him back in 20-30 years...

      Glad to see that happen . . . now if McD's will do the same with Ronald McDonald, maybe I won't have as many nightmares.

        Thank god...that thing was just about the creepiest mascot I've ever seen.

        Ronald McDonald is annoying, but not nearly as bad as the king.

          Ronald McDonald is corny but the King is pretty weird IMO.

            I liked the King. Nice guy surprising people with fresh burgers. And the dude has mad football skills.

              Here... I'll give you some links to some non-creepy versions of Ronald.

              Japanese male Ronald
              Japanese female Ronald

              no clown makeup i swear and they're actually kinda nice looking... though if the guy was any thinner he could challenge L for his role in Death Note.

                I like these non-corny Ronald McDonalds! The female's outfits look so cool!

                    That reminds me, I never did get all of the achievements in Sneak King.

                    I d'know, you have to admire Ronald's smug grin in that article.

                      You're probably right about that. This is the third version I can recall.
                      I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!

                          The Puerto Rican Burger King was cute. He was an actual guy with a beard--no horrifying masks there!

                          Yes, I know my opinion is useless without pics. I'll try to get hubby to scan the pic so I can post it. ;-)
