(Blabbermouth) According to ClickZ.com, the Burger King fast-food chain is launching and promoting its own teen-targeted metal group through both TV spots and a web site.

COQ ROQ? They should hire Rob Halford, that Priest reunion CD bit the kind of chicken that people choke when they don't have a girlfriend.

Ok guys. They are metal chicken posers advertising to eat their meat! You got to admit that is f***ing funny! No matter what even if they sold out to the man who doesn't anymore? Your soul belongs to corporate america so eat their meat already! As for me I got beef in the freezer (eat beef eat beef eat a big ol' steer).

When my belly starts a-rumblin', and I'm jonesin' for a treat. I close my eyes for a big surprise, the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch. I love the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch, the breasts they grow on trees. And streams of bacon ranch dressing, flow right up to your knees. Tumbleweeds of bacon, and cheddar paves the streets. Folks don't [Unintelligable] ya cause ya got the juice, there's a train of ladies comin' with a nice caboose. Never get in trouble, never need an excuse, the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch. I love the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch no one tells ya to behave. Your wildest fantasies come true, Dallas cheerleaders give you shaves. Red onions make you laugh instead, and french fries grow like weeds. Ya get to veg all day, all the lotto tickets pay. The king who wants you to have it your way, that's the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch.

McD with its desire for actual rappers to sing about them vs. BK with its fake metal devoted to their foine dining experience. Eat at home, it's cheaper, tastier & less insulting.
