Burger King Mascot Dethroned
August 21, 2011 With all due respect to the creative advertising wizards who created him I must say that the Burger King mascot always gave me the creeps. Apparently a lot of people felt the same way as Burger King has decided to retire him. That huge head and scary smile were not seen as warm and cozy by anyone, especially kids. According to The Washington Post the final straws in his demise were actually television commercials.
