Atreyu Fan Pissed At Burger King

If anyone has been watching television lately, they would have probably come across the latest Burger King campaign where they ‘punk’ unsuspecting people by pretending to discontinue The Whopper. This Atreyu fan doesn’t stand for it.

He was so upset he started poking his eye. Really though these kind of marketing stunts are why I love the BK. Brilliant!

Burger King is using popular bands to propagate the sales of burgers? PETA’s gonna be pissed.

He said “livid” lOLZ!!!11

I also love the line, “I’ve been coming here since I was like, 10, well, not to this Burger King…”

Like in Spinal Tap, “We’re fans of your’s we have all your records, well, not YOUR records but you know, the whole rock and roll genre.”

Is it sad that, although I’ve managed to avoid fast food for several months running, all of a sudden I want a Whopper real bad?

Trust me, it’s not worth it. I’ve been eating healthy for about a year now. Sometimes I craved some fast food and then when I indulged, it was awful. The amount of grease tore my stomach apart and I felt like crap.

Oh the childhood memories!
Whoppers® with Gramps, once I became a man.
The family gathered around the table for Hot Pockets® Turkey Pot Pie at Thanksgiving.
Spam® under the Christmas Tree.
Taking my 2 year-old niece to 7-11 every morning for a fresh ALL BEEF Big Bite™ hot dog and a warm two-liter of Dr Pepper®.
And one day, one FINE day: a Busch® Beer toast at my wedding.

Oh, Americana! What art we without thy Divine Trappings!

doesnt really matter if he wears the atreyu shirt
they suck anyways.
but besides that,im sure the band has no problem of some kid wearing their shirt,because a lot of kids saw the name and immidiatly googled/myspaced the name listened..and BAM! more fans
and Hot Topic being the people who sell that shirt love the comercial cause it shows the design and little scene kids wanting to be cool will go to the store remember that comercial and but the shirt
so everyones happy

Thanks BK Lounge! For helping Atreyu with their CD sales dude to the dumb kid on TV. I know that Red Jump Suit Ap. band is hurting, because their 15 seconds of fame is running out. Please HELP them and find some indie girl or boy(who looks like a girl) to wear thier shirt and act like theres no more Whoppers. If not maybe you can find some miss-lead christian kid who still thinks Zao or Emery is a Christian band. Either way BK Lounge and Music wins.

wait a minute wait a minute

the commercial I’ve seen on TV is different, and it’s got a different kid… but he’s wearing the same shirt!

PETA is going to be pissed!

The guitarist, Travis, IS vegetarian.
He’s probably laughed at first, but if burger king didn’t ask the guys for permission to air that footage, I’m sure they can get screwed in the long run.
Hahaha.
That’d make me so happy.

FIGHT FOR VEGETARIAN RIGHTS!

That’s an amazing use of the word “dude.”

Just saying.

It’s for the best they didn’t serve him. Teen angst and cholesterol are a terrible combination.

I eat meat. Pure and simple. I have friends who HAVE to be vegetarian, but they are cool about it… they do not care if all the deer in the world got killed. I would care, because that is pure stupidity.

Before this whole veggie vs. meat controversy silliness explodes… I just want to say, “I eat meat”…. those who are vegetarian, that’s fine with me… but I’ll still eat meat.

HAHA He’s like ”I was livin” ._.

I just can’t help but ask: Why?
There is something amazing about the fact that this has risen from the dead. I have no idea what that is but, it’s amazing.
