Walking the Edge of Reality

A look behind the curtain to my world...

This Will Only Take a Second...

Compliments of Idea Sandbox and friends over at another forum I frequent.

You know, I've done work for Burger King in the past, and I kind of know how their advertising and marketing processes are. They go through agencies like some people go through hairstyles; it almost feels like they're using a different advertising agency every six months or so.

But, even so, there is a certain level of executive review before anything the agencies do goes public.

So imagine some board room in South Florida (I know where the BK offices are; I see them almost daily), where all the top marketing executives are sitting around, looking at this new promotion and think "hey... this is BRILLIANT! Send it off to the press immediately!"

Uh... No.

The blog linked above covers most of the highlights, but I don't think anyone needs to read very much after looking at the horrified look on the poor onion. And, looking at the poor onion and the terminal security agent donning the purple glove, you are distracted from seeing the child dangling precariously from the second floor walkway.

But, you know, this advertising might actually be working, 'cause I can't think of anything else other than wanting to go to a Burger King RIGHT NOW and see if they have these things.

Now I know what you're thinking... this can't be real, right? Well... Need more proof?

OK, how 'bout Monsters hacking at bloody fruit with machetes?

Or the The pickle hookers?

Or the Onion sniper?

Well the New Years Eve one isn't bad. Well, except for the tomato blowing his hand off front and center...

Congratulate .start for this wonderful artwork. Yeah, it's in their ".work" section too, if you're wondering. Guess things work differently in Munich...

/facepalm
