- nymphetamine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+25they better pray that none of them wake up with that creepy burger king guy next to them.
- macrat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I've never understood how they think those Kreepy King commercials would bring in customers.
- prot0col, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4The king could say please. I guess the king never had a mother to teach him that, sad really.
- ThrasherC, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This is going to end up like Avoid the Noid, the game that Dominos released a long time ago...except creepier.

When he would turn to the camera and raise that eyebrow? I've got goosebumps now just thinking about it! And I don't even smoke that stuff anymore! - ConceptJunkie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I appreciate your frustration, but face it, literacy is dead. We're fighting a losing battle.
- JohnboiWaltune, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2it got you talking about burger king on digg.com
- aresef, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The thing won an award from PETA.
- dreamkatcha, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1McDonalds beat Burger King to the punch by 14 years: http://hol.abime.net/2429
Not such a bad game if you're into Mario rip-offs. - Caulfield, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Don't hate me because I'm beautiful...
- GetOffMyLawnKid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1In Fight Night round 3 for the xbox 360 the BK King is already in there. Win a special fight and you can use him as your promoter and he comes into the ring with you. The infection has already started to spread!
- andreo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think they could end up as collector items. Anyone remember Chase the Chuck Wagon. Keep the game for 20 years or so and then cash in on Ebay!
- tpilot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Veggie Burger lathered with mayo and ketchup, a large side of french fries with ketchup, and large Dr. Pepper. Sounds pretty healthy to me.
- wyldtek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The only game the BK King would fit in to is Katamary Damacy.
- Cowboy5995, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I like BK over Mc Donald's but I wish we had a sonics around here. They have been advertising In Mid-Michigan for the last 3 years and the nearest one is in the lower part of Illinois over 200 mile I think.
- CaptainMal, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2In Oblivion I finished this one quest and they gave me an iPod. Sometimes the cord gets caught on my sword, and it stops me from blocking properly.
- drw2583, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Burger King: The Game
A first person shooter where you break into people's homes, push people off of buildings, disrupt football games, and kill people by delivering artery clogging food. Also, you can eat one of the sandwiches to become gigantor and look through people's windows (while they are fornicating, of course).
Someone should make a Burger King model for Oblivion. Hell, I would pay 1.99 to download the thing off of the marketplace just so I could wreak havoc as the king. - TigerClaw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What we need is a video game that pits Ronald McDonald vs The Burger King.
- TWiThead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0A key difference is that the current incarnation of the "Burger King" character targets adults. McDonald's needs to take a hint from this past Sunday's episode of "The Simpsons" by reviving the "Mac Tonight" campaign.
- aresef, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Oh, BK has some healthy things. They're the only fast food place around with a veggie burger.
- danpsmith, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2If there's ever an advertisement in any game I buy I'm returning the *****.
- synaesthesia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0As much as I may love a Bacon and Egg Croissan'wich with a large order of Hash Browns, nothing will ever compare to the Holy Glory that is the McGriddle.
Seriously, if Burger King pulls this off right, this will be the most incredible and successful advertising campaign in decades. The Burger King King is already an internet phenomenon in his own right (Where is your God now?) and this idea can only lead to awesomeness that will benefit both the 360 and Burger King. - MrSunshine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0 Plus 1 for referencing to HOL.
BTW, I like the food at BK more than the one at McD. - tpilot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think the game should come with the kid's meals.. maybe for a slight extra charge. And they should put x-box 360's in the restaurant. Besides, it's probably the healthiest thing they will ever offer.
- Toast1185, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0A Burger King video game? honestly... lame
- ThrasherC, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0HA! I love that picture! One of my friends has had the "Where is your God now?" pic as his wallpaper since it started floating around -- he gets some strange looks at the office.
-- WTF?? Captcha for comment? I've been on Digg for over a year! - TWiThead, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1This "free publicity" is for products that don't yet exist. A competitor could copy the ideas for use in video games featuring a different restaurant mascot (such as Jack in the Box's "Jack" or the "Arby's Oven Mitt").
A market research participant deliberately violated his/her agreement by leaking confidential, copyrighted information. Now Kotaku is MAKING MONEY by displaying someone else's intellectual property (which they've basically stolen). It's only because Kotaku is the "little guy" and Burger King is the "big, evil corporation" that so many of you fail to see how this is objectionable. If the situation were reversed (and Burger King were profiting from material stolen from Kotaku), you'd be up in arms. - framitz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1All I know is that as long as BK shows the disgusting comercials with the plastic king thing I will not spend one cent at their so called resturants and I will continue to convince everyone I know to do the same if the subject comes up. The only thing worse than BK is jack iN the bOx and wEndie's. Actually it is probably a three way tie, but I haven't been to any of them for years.
- speedyrev, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Too creepy. I want the BK guy as an enemy in HALO! That character will only work in a video game if you are shooting AT him.
- drw2583, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I haven't eaten fast food in years.
It is a health concern whether you are "dumb enough to eat that much fast food" or not.
http://www.bk.com/Food/Nutrition/NutritionWizard/index.aspx
Sausage, Egg, Cheese Croissanwich is 470 calories, 32 GRAMS OF FAT, 26 grams of carbohydrates, and 19 grams of protein - this is not healthy no matter how little you eat it.
Unless you are overweight and don't care about your figure, or you are one of those ectomorphic nerds that weigh 120 pounds and have trouble gaining weight, these are HORRIBLE for you to eat.
Recommended 75 grams of fat a day for an average person and 111 for the most hard core of active. Note that this does NOT mean ENTIRELY saturated fats like the ones found on these.
Everything in moderation, but the low quality, high fat meat they serve is suicide on a bun. - Lewisham, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I find it pretty funny that the quickest way of confirming a rumour is to sue. Surely they know this?
- bossm4n, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Nope, Micky D's blows chipmunks too. Give me a Whataburger over that garbage any day.
- vypergts, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Somehow I don't think this poses a threat to BK since there likely aren't any plans for a "Ronald McDonald" inspired video game in the works anytime soon...Besides, he doesn't got game like the King.
- noGoodNamesLeft, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Does "veggie" mean vegetable or "vegetarian"? Vegetarian doesn't mean healthy; it just means it doesn't contain meat.
Even if it does contain veg, I wouldn't assume it was healthy without checking first. In fact, if I want veg, I eat veg. - vagrantradio, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1CaptainMal,
There's also a spell check button next to the one that says "Submit Comment" - CaptainMal, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Nope. Its the new BK BiKe sandwitches. Its too see-rip soaked BK "french toast" sir culls left out in the sun for a day. Then too wholes are drilled and petals are attached and a toll pointy black hat is in stalled. Then you eat it.
- hater2win, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3That would be exceedingly creepy. A king in a lawyer suit waiting for you to wake up.
- hater2win, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0LOL! I love MC Hammer standing next to the clown and Ronald McDonald...
- Ralphy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0McDonalds made a game called MC Kids for NES a while back, It was actually a pretty good game...
- h0dg3s, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I worked at a burking king for almost 4 years as a cook. It was a horrible experience, all of the managers were incompetant and the owner of the store was a cokehead. He's had 5 heart attacks and a stroke.
I dislike burger king. - clevershark, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1"pedaling"? I think he means "peddling."
- SpeedyG, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0It always brings a joy to your heart to see someone break out the team of lawyers to try and stop free publicity.
- op12, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1This post is INACCURATE. It's a market research company doing business with BK, Greenfield Online, that made the legal threat. BK made no legal threat.
- TimmyGUNZ, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Even if this is a virul stunt, a video game based on the creepy BK King is front page material in my book!
- kevinski, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0BK video games? I kinda wonder if we'll get to play as those cartoon kids that they used to have. You know, Kid Vid, Wheels, etc.
(Oh, super. Now we have to enter codes while posting on digg?) - popsumer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Crispin Porter & Bogusky is a fag.
- cr4sh, on 10/12/2007, -7/+5The headline is misleading. Burger King is not threatening Kotaku. Greenfield Online is threatening Kotaku with legal action. Now I have to decide whether to mark the story "Inaccurate" or "ok this is lame".
- CaptainMal, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3He's right. Its no different then any other mistake. Stop pretending that your better at grammer then us is. Its ledgable.
- t94xr, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0LMFAO and I work for Burger King here in New Zealand LOL
- velatiog, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0What's the difference if you can figure out the mistake.
