Have you ever heard the bluegrass song
Big Rock Candy Mountain?
I think you have, you just don't know it.
By now, many of you have seen the recent parody of it --
the new Burger King commercial featuring (among others) Darius Rucker ("Hootie") of Hootie and the Blowfish.
And to answer a cyberspace-wide question on who the wavy-haired blonde girl on the ladder is, well, it's Carolyn Bolin.
And for the other unanswered question - Who the hell is that creepy Burger King guy pushing Brook Burke in the swing? You know, the guy who looks like he is wearing a mask?
Why, it's a creepy guy wearing a creepy Burger King mask...a legacy from the "Wake Up With The King" spot that, for some reason, did not resonate well with Middle America.
The best summation I have found...and promptly lost, alas... is one ad junkie's statement to the effect that The new BK spot is Joe Six Pack's idea of Heaven.
This one's wide open for discussion. Knock yourself out..Lord knows, the BK people have. :)
