King-Sized Nightmares
Ever see a promotional item and wonder who in God’s name would want that in their house? That’s how I felt about the pillowcase featuring the new Burger King brunch menu on one side and the King himself on the other.
Over the weekend, I saw a commercial offering the bedding item and was horrified. Of all the things I would not want to find in my bed, that freaky monarch is darn near the top of the list.
My seven year old son, however, felt differently.
“Oh, that is so cool!” he said. “Can we get one?”
Nope, too scary, I said.
He assured me that the King wasn’t scary, because he in fact wasn’t real.
I countered with the fact that he didn’t want to go near anyone dressed as the Easter Bunny, even though he knew that was a person in a costume. If I saw someone dressed as the King in the mall, I just might run the other way screaming too.
Still, there are some folks who wouldn’t mind adorning their boudoir with BK style. A listing from Burger King on eBay shows that the fast food chain sold about 250 of the pillowcases during the promo.
To each their own, I suppose. Good luck with those french fried night terrors.
