The BK games (3 combined, not each) have sold two million copies faster than Gears of War

This would explain why we could find Pocket Bike Racer as a gift for a friend of mine.

The apocolypse has truly begun :-)

Oh come on, the game is only 4 bucks and let's face facts that BK dude is crazy cool =o

And it is the three combined, but still. We're talking about the killer ap for the Xbox vs three basically mini-games starring the Burger King mascot...and the mascot's winning.

God, I hope we don't see $5 Wii game starring Ronald McDonald now....

McDonald's couldn't have pulled this off. People realize that the King is funny and creepy, and their marketing dept has had a good thing going for a few years.

It's like I've been saying for years: funny commericials are the only ones that people pay attention to.

[Kupek]

But sometimes that's all they pay attention to. Remember the recent tennis-pong commercial, where that famous tennis player plays against the pong paddle? It was one of the more clever and creative commercials I've seen in a while.

Now, can you remember what they were advertising? I can't. If the humor has no relation to the product, I don't think people are going to maintain the connection.

It was Roddick, thus it was American Express
