It's the same guy and I just caught the end of it and it looked like another goofy set. It was only the last few seconds and then the BK logo, but all I could think was "OH, NO, not another one!"

Anonymous Unregistered	the last one made this weeks TV Guide in the cheers and jeers section. and I quote "Jeers to Hootie & the Blowfish front man Darius Rucker for embarassing himself in Burger King's new commercials for its Tendercrisp Bacon Chedder Ranch sandwich. Wearing a purple rhinestone cowboy suit, Rucker croons a bizarro parody of "Big Rock Candy Mountain." Are you really that hard up for cash, Hootie?" -- pale writer ------------ help fight crime, shoot back

I can't imagine having to do these commercials to make ends meet after having sold over 10 million records. _________________________ I've just writed a wrong.

bluebanker Diamond Poster Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,227 Bear Country	Maybe he's just doing it because he thought it was going to be funny, not necessarily for money. Or maybe he did it to meet Brooke Burke. Now who could blame him for that??? _________________________ If you're not first, you're last.

Anonymous Unregistered	I love those BK commercials. It's creepy, but in a very cool way. I can't explain it, but it kind of makes me hungry.

Raiderette Diamond Poster Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 1,316 New Mexico	The ones where the king looks like one of the kings on a deck or cards, are alright. I laugh because the first time I saw one, my two year old was with me, and when the commercial was over, he said "ho, ho, ho"... _________________________ Are you ready for some football?
