    I saw the commercial for the first time last night.

    If you go to the website and look in the Gallery, you will find 1 photo of the Kilt and 1 photo of 2 tartans with the band logo belt buckle over it. YOu have to dig for the pics but they are there.

    Weird ad campaign for BK.

    Aah... I didnt have the patience to sort through all the pics. It is cool how the gallery works though.

    Yeah, they seem like they are trying to be badass and edgy and whatnot, but they fabricated this 'band' to sing a thrash song about chicken fries. Um. BK... you kinda lost about 20% of that "edgy coolness" when the guys in the band are wearing "hardcore" death-chicken headgear, and another 172% of your edgy coolness when they finished the song with the words "BK's new chicken fries"

    I am also very suprised at this tactic. I would not be suprised if some parent group goes after them for the name and the theme.

    Oh well, cool to see the kilt.

    I haven't seen the commercial, but one assumes that it is the same as the video on the site. Click on the link that says the music. Couple of kilt shots.

    Haven't seen the commercial (no TV watcher), but I guess that the kilt should not be an issue when I go to Burger King (usually isn't).

    I thought it was just amusing. I mean, it's a punk band with CHICKEN HEADS! And their name was actually a very clever play on words.

    I agree that some parent groups will probably get upset about it, but then they also get upset about things like Harry Potter. So I don't worry about that too much.
