Burger King 360 prize comes with steep price: Terror

by Justin McElroy { Apr 9th 2007 at 3:02AM }

Ever heard of looking a gift horse in the mouth? It's supposed to be a bad idea. It's just not as unwise as looking a gift Burger King in his deadened, black, all-seeing eyes and learning the exact date of your death. One guy named David did just that ... and lived to tell the tale.

David was lucky enough to win a Burger King sweepstakes -- an effort to promote their line of top-notch games -- picking up a premium Xbox 360, tons of accessories, oh, and the physical manifestation of fear: a Burger King mask. Sure, he enjoyed the prizes and all, but it had to be packed in with the face of evil itself, which more than negates the generosity. It's a little like getting hot, free muffins from a truck that just ran over your uncle. "Yes, the muffins were delicious, but ..."

Well, at least David didn't receive a copy of Big Bumpin'. So there's still some kindness in the world.

I remember the Burger King ads from the 80's back when he wasn't as scary. Just a little creepy maybe, but not as frightening as they've made him now.

Huge difference...

I want that mask.

Heh. Big Bumpin' was my favourite of the three games. Sneak King's concept was far better than its execution, and Pocketbike Racer had overly convoluted courses and stiff controls.

Hockey in Big Bumpin' is awesome.

My gf's old, likely gay, roomate admitted once the Burger King guy creaped and freaked him out. One year, around Halloween, we ordered a mask and I put it on and started standing outside his window a few minutes before his alarm went off. He got up and I knocked on the window then stood motionless. I absolutely scared the shit out of him. Scaring the hell out of an adult is friken hilarious.
