If you were ever wondering what the point of YouTube was, it was probably so we could watch Andy Warhol eat a Whopper on demand.
The video, at about four and a half minutes long, consists of nothing more than the artist unbagging the Whopper, pouring ketchup, and then stoically beginning his lunch. And, strangely, we cannot look away.

To help ring in the facial hair-inspired month of Movember, and to sell some Whoppers, The King recently sat in a barber’s chair to get clean-shaven.
The shave is to help promote Movember and the men’s health issues this month hopes to bring awareness to. The King also has a challenge to those going mustachioed over the next 30 days.
Grow out the most epic stache possible and post it to social media with hashtag #KingstacheChallenge. Anyone who’d like to help the cause can also visit movember.org.
The problem with fast food mascots, besides ruling over bogus sovereignties and being a creepy clown, is that they aren’t very action-packed.
Illustrator, Ozumii Wizard, wants to change all of that, by reimagining fast food mascots as anime characters. By adapting the anime drawing style, the once non-threatening Burger King, Ronald McDonald and Wendy’s — look ready for battle. Hopefully that battle is against childhood obesity and coulrophobia.

We’d like to believe that Burger King would actually release Whopper Toothpaste. However, it’s so close to April 1st and we’ve been hurt before.
There is, however, a high-quality video and fancy computer graphics to advertise said toothpaste. Would Burger King go through all of this trouble and ad spend just to toy with our emotions? And, why no onion ring floss?
Watch the video below and decide for yourself.

Well, that’s one way to get the point across. Burger King wants you to know that their burgers are still flame broiled. To drive the point home even further, their new ad campaign is straight fire.
The series shows actual emergency scenes of BK restaurants burning down — implying that their flame-broiling is the real deal, and unfortunately not limited to the burgers.
So, are we to assume that McDonald’s locations never burn down? They do, but it’s usually because someone left an apple pie in the microwave too long. True story.
