Slipknot suing Burger King?

[fuCKYou]

what a bunch of fucking crybabies. (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0817052slipknot1.html) :insane:

[Stupified]

They're suing because of a band that's ripping them off, while Slipknot is ripping off every masked band that came before them.

That makes sense.

[GatsbyGal]

I can understand why they wouldn't want people thinking of them in the same context of those horrifying chicken fries...but really. They're being little bitches about it.

[BrainStew]

When I first saw the commercial, I was thinking more along the lines of GWAR.

But whatever, corporate pussies.

[whocares]

Who the fuck is Slipknot? Really, this will be totally stupid. They are not going to get anything.

EDIT: I rule :bang:

[RustyShakleford]

I hope they win! :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang:

[whocares]

I hope they win! :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang:
I hope not. :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang:

Yea, I'll stop being a dumbass, sorry.

They just want some attention in my opinion. Whatever...

[atreyu_2020]

Good, hopefully Burger King shuts down, its what they get for making everyone so fat... :bang: :bang: :bang:

Then after Slipknot takes all their money they can buy more shitty, stupid fans :icon_rofl :icon_rofl :icon_rofl

[mx6driven]

Chicken Fries are so not :bang: :bang: :bang:

[MGselwonK]

i think this has to be fake, nobody, even slipknot, is that dumb

[limaksti]

I must have completely forgotten that Burger King goes around to people's homes and shoves food down their throats. :insane:

[guest2005]

HAHHAHAHAHAHA the bands name is coq roq.... coq... roq... HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

immaturity at its finest

[Kellenator]

When I first saw the commercial, I was thinking more along the lines of GWAR.

But whatever, corporate pussies. That's exactly what I was thinking. Slipknot didn't even cross my mind.

[DrProf]

Man, burger king is so down with my rebellious youthful culture. Every time i pick up a chicken fry, i can't help but to think, "FINALLY, a chicken fry that understands me, lives like me. Chicken nuggets never raised hell like chicken fries do." Then i viciously take a bite, high five my best bud, and continue to cause all kinds of havoc in an AOL chat room. mom made us lemon squares later that night.

[Metallic]

The reason for this is simple.

Burger King is Metal, and Slipknot isn't

:D

[swchblade34]

yea i was thinking more gwarish but i hope slipknot wins not because they used to be my favorite band but because burger kings chickin fries are friggin disghusting :thud: . i almost threw up after i had one of them and they were super small compared to the commercial.

edit: 99th post!

[Deamatix]

I hope the 'Knot wins too because I hate Burger King. Notice how shitty BK's ads have been lately? First there's that creepy slow moving king with the plastic face that creeps me out, then the Paris Hilton ad, now this?

[k_tull88]

Anybody notice how long that chicken fries commercial is?

Burger King got torn down here so I have never had them. Are they good? Worth suing over?

[RustyShakleford]

That commercial kicks ass and you know it.

The "Burger King" was actually an old character they used in like the 70s or 80s. I used to know for sure. But yeah, they rehashed him. I dunno, I thought those ads were funny.

Actually the Paris Hilton commercial was for Jack in the Box.

[SilentPheonix]

Why are they suing?

[MGselwonK]

Actually the Paris Hilton commercial was for Jack in the Box.

it was carls jr....jack in the box commercials always feature jack, and theyve been pushing the "cant pronounce ciabatta" thing recently

but yea, carls did a real nice job advertising, we have a vote for bk and a vote for jack in the box, next thing you know, carls will have a softcore porno for a commercial and we will all buy taco bell

[Zooch]

Am I the only one that likes the chicken fries? Just ask for some onion ring sauce.... mmmmm

[Kommercial]

Slipknot sucked after the first album anyway.

[Kellenator]

Slipknot sucked after the first album anyway. You accidentally said "after".

[Jimothy51]

Why are they suing?
Did you even read the thread?

[The_Murphulator]

i hope they win because burger king shouldnt be making a fucking band to sell chicken fries.

[Poster X]

*Sigh* Will they ever realise that it's their own fault for being an international laughing stock.....

Bah either way I have not seen a Jack in the Box or a Carls Jr anywhere in central maryland. Either way I usually eat at KFC

[Poster X]

Yeah, I've never had any problem with Burger King myself.

[Leon324]

Well, it makes sense, Burger King asked them to make a commercial for them and they refused, and they make a fucking chicken band in place of them.

seriously.


And second, 4 of their masks resemble the ones they used to wear a few years ago if i'm correct...

it is kinda stupid but hell. They're just taking down the damn commercials.

Burger King sucks anyway.

[Pat The Baker]

slipknot blows, and that commercial blows. They needa take it down, I hate watching that shit.

BucketHead (http://canal.sousas.com.br/buckethead.jpg), among others, could sue slipknot, but they don't... why? Because they are whiny little bitches that are just in it for the money.

Ok, I wouldn't know because... I have good taste in music.

[Leon324]

Yeah...I like my Mozilla Google toolbar.

Also, no music is considered good no matter what, it's all about the opinions of others.

Not to start an argument with you. ;)

[Travmire]

This is a tough one. What sucks more, Slipknot or Burger King? I'll say Burger King because I hate their commercials more than I hate Slipknots music.

But I do think you guys are being a little critical of Slipknot for suing because if they had done the commercial everyone would be calling them sellouts, now they are getting ripped off and everyone is calling them pussies.

[SystemOfADownxx]

Ok, I wouldn't know because... I have good taste in music.

Wow... good one "OMGZ11!!!!, I DONT KNOW WHAT A PENIS LOOKS LIKE, CUZ IM NOT GAY!!!!!!! WHY WOULD I LOOK AT ONE!! NO I DONT LOOK DOWN, IM NOT GAYYYY!!!!"

BTW... I think it's fake because if you read the letter at the bottom of that page, they spell Coreys name 2 different ways. At first they spell it Corey a couple times, then they go to Cory.

Slipknot sued me on Halloween.

[The_Murphulator]

Slipknot sued me on Halloween.

Fucking Pwned.

I wouldn't call it being critical. It's ridiculous that as rich as they are, they would sue over someting so irrelevant as a Burger King commercial. And besides, after reading what everyone has to say about the lawsuit, don't you think there actions are making it worse for their already shitty reputation? C'mon if Burger King named the chicken fries something ridiculous like SlipknotChicken then it would be a different story.

[Deamatix]

How rich are they?

[Wu-tang]

It makes sense that they're suing... They have to make money some way.

[Stupified]

It makes sense that they're suing... They have to make money some way.

Being a shitty mainstream trend band, I'm sure they have enough money already. It's all about greed, and possibly publicity.

Then again, Maybe they feel threatened by this Burger King band. :shuffle:

[Jordan?]

Wait didnt the burger king chiken band come first . . . :rolleyes:

[18C]

Slipknot is the only heavy metal band ever.

They are most definitely basing their band upon them.

Slipknot sucks.

[Face Plant]

Let me get this straight, Slipknot has a copywrite on guys in lame masks playing bad metal? Even if they did, which they don't, this commercial falls under the category of satire, so they be shit out of luck.

[Stupified]

Irony, huh? Before you know it Alice Cooper will be suing KISS, then KISS will be suing GWAR, Then GWAR will be suing Slipknot.

[BaxterII]

they just want attention so that more people might listen to them :rolleyes:

[MGselwonK]

im looking forward to the celebrity deathmatch of slipknot vs chicken dudes

[unearth]

Mr. Bungle should sue all of them.
