The Burger King Guy

Can someone please explain the fascination Burger King has with its new mascot? I do not get it. The guy looks like Chester. Seriously. (Oh, for those who do not get it, Chester is shorthand for "Chester the Molester.")

The guy is scary looking. I know why kids like Ronald McDonald. He is a clown. Mayor McCheese is a guy with a funny looking cheeseburger head. And, according to an episode of Family Guy, he cannot get a head transplant because there is no blood running to his head! Grimace is cool too. Wendy from Wendy's I get. Red at Red Robin is sweet. Even Jack, who is now back, is funny and changes expressions.

But the "King" does not look nice. He does not look friendly. He has the same look on his face and it always says the same thing "Want some candy, little girl?" He may be getting chased by moms in a minivan and he looks like he wants to take their daughters to Prom. By the way, that is a felony in most states, except maybe Arkansas. He is acting like a peeping tom in one commercial.

Seriously, what is the deal? Who finds him funny? Why is he still employed? He should go the way of the "Where's the beef" lady, who at least was funny!

The Burger King guy is absolutely the creepiest ever. And when they have the voice that goes with him - skeezy beyond all words
