HAHAHA! HAve you guys seen those new Burger King Commercials with that metal band taht sings about chicken fries. Apparently Slipknot fans and management are all up in arms because Burger King is ripping them off or somethng. Personally When I saw the commercial the band I immediately though of was GWAR who much more closely resembles the fictional Chicken based band then Slipknot. Its actually quite arrogant of Slipknot to presume that anyone would even want to to make fun of them.

Whoa,

Really? I've seen the commercial, pretty fuckin lame for slipknot to sue BK over some goddamn chicken masks.

My local radio station talked about Slipknot's little suit with Coq Roq and Burger King just a couple of hours ago, so I believe that this is indeed true.

Alright then.


*takes deep breath*



HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

wow, the are turning emo!

" Counsel for the band notes that Coq Roq--whose masked members are supposed to resemble badass chickens--has blatantly copied several of Slipknot's signature masks, including a gas mask, a kabuki-style face covering, and a mask with dreadlocks attached."

Last time I checked....Sliptards didnt invent gasmasks,dreds or Japanese masks.
What a bunch of Wankers.

I put this in the RTT yesterday.

Why can`t the fucking media stop labeling Slipknot as metal arrrrhhhhg! And that is fucking retarded, sueing burger king for a comercial. It`s not like they have a copyright for stupid masks. Fucking greedy assholes. It`s always been about the money.

yeah thats where i saw it.. thats sad haha

This isn't a huge suprise. Slipknot sucks, and this makes them suck that much more. I'm going to rub this in my Maiden hating bandmates face. "Hey, Slipknot sucks and they are sueing Burger King...that's not very metal and neither is their music."

From what I hear Coq Roq are musically talented individuals who have not been created and cloaked in a morass of hype and media propaganda! So why do Slipknot think the band are apeing them??? Hahahahaha!

Why didn't Slipknot sue Bowling For Soup when they dressed up as them in a video??
And where will it end.......my car mechanic thrown in jail because he wears a boiler suit???

If I was in a band that had blatantly chosen an image that imbued theatrics and attention seeking, it would be done tongue in cheek so when people take the piss it wouldn't matter because it's all for a laugh. Therefore I'd be flattered if my act was being emulated on tv.
As for this claim that they are trying to corner the Slipknot fans market to lure them into buying Flame Grills is total arse! Fact, average Slipknot fan 10 to 15 years of age would you say? Isn't this the market age group who frequently vist Burger King eateries without having to have nine masked goons to persuade them? If that be the case BG shouldn't use any music in it's ads for fear of appealing to one section of the community only and also running the risk of alienating others!

__________________

This almost makes Metallica sueing Napster look justifiable....in a sick way.

It comes down to this:

1: Slipknot realize the mask gimmick is fucking gay, and they got their pride hurt because of Burger King

2: They really are that greedy afterall.....


What a coincidence, FBS just posted a thread about slip-kocks new vid....talking about how fucking gay they are....NOW THIS!!!!!

In A.D. 2005, war was beginning.

Corey: What happen ?

Mike: Somebody set up us the imitation.

Joey: We get signal.

Corey: What !

Joey: Main screen turn on.

Corey: It's you !!

BK: How are you gentlemen !!
All your fanbase are belong to us.
You are on the way to obscurity.

Corey: What you say !!

BK: You have no chance to survive make your time.
BK: Ha Ha Ha Ha ....

Joey: Corey !!

Corey: take off every 'Lawyer'!!
You know what you doing.
Move 'Lawyer'.
For great justice.

Wait, so they are sueing because of the mask thing?

At first I thought it might have been the bad music resembling Dicksnot. Next thing you know Slipturd will sue everyone that sucks musically for resembling them. They are no Metallica and I don't think Metallica would be pissed over something that kinda looked like them.

Long live Coq Roq! I love those fuckers now

this fucking band has gone outta control with gayness. Damn, i wish i can meet them and tell them how much of a gang of squealing assraping douchebags that they are. Hopefully the reason for this is because Coq Roq has become more popular then they are and they need more money to buy gay porn.

Slipknot sucks, I don't see how they have such a strong hold on the mainstream. It's pretty ridiculous how people are so impressionable. "omg! There's like, double bass and this guy is really pist sounding lol, this shit is sic!!!!111"

Not cool guys, not cool at all(slipknot that is.)

I read the brief and the case actually seems legitimate, both in that Slipknot could easily win this suit in court and in the advertising agency probably deliberately ripped them off. Moreover, I saw new, non-Coq Roq commercials for those chicken fries when I got home today. So, how about we all shut the fuck up? I'll be shutting the fuck up. Feel free to join me.

Ahahaha that was fucking fantastic.
Cats: Gentlemen, all your base are belong to us.

I had an arguement with my friends sister yesterday about slipknot sucking.

Her: "I dont care if they are famous and wear masks and try to be hardout, they still make rilli good music."

Me: "ill brb, just pissed myself."

On a diff BBS Forum....this guy begged me to give sliptard a listen...so I did just now. I DLed 4 tunes......

Now Bia, people are capable of having short moments of apparent talent, but Dicksnot only account for <5% of those people. Some of their members have some good moments but as a whole the music is droning and... well, listen.

Dont worry....they landed in the Garbage bin in minutes......I wont be bothered by em ever again.

By all means do know what thay are about. Their first album had many good, and I would even go as far as saying great, very slim moments of wonderful, but very misleading moments in metal, of things to maybe come, but they fucked that up for me with their 2nd album. As a whole though, the music has no more depth then 98 Degrees.... Ok 98 Degrees in fact had more more depth but you get the ideal.

Well, I just saw the new, edited Chicken Fries commercial, and it does not show the band at all. This pisses me off cause I bet that slipknot think that they are all cool and they got what they wanted..... god damn it.

Really? Perhaps more people give them shit then we know. They are going down. Say goodbye to Dicksnot until the VH1 special of the "Slipknot: the band that thought they had the world".

Featuring members that didn't commit suicide because they still thought they were a band or just to high to realize... until now.

Man, I really need to see that comercial. To bad they don`t play it here in norway

Yup and you got pwned by the lil slipknot maggots including me.
Example.




Btw on the subject burger king asked slipknot to do the commercials for them at first, but they refused, so they got fowl mouth to dress up like them and rip their shit off

Unfortunately, the last dude to post is right, and Slipknot quite likely were deliberately ripped off. Advertising firms don't have new ideas very often, and they usually recycle those they have. If you guys could see through all the 'WAAAH! I HATE SLIPKNOT!' shit, you might see that, considering they're a band whose image is at least as important as their music, they've got a legitimate case. They were deliberately ripped off by an advertising agency. Good. Now, everybody shut up. Thanks in advance for your anticipated compliance. Go rip on their music or something.

how come i dont see more people enjoying a legal battle of two hideous corporations? cmon guys theres no losing here

*clears throat* Waaaaaaah! I hate slipknot!!!

fuck their image, and fuck their band. i eat at burger king all the time. im glad they were ripped off, and i hope the future holds much worse.

I like your avatar. It makes me giggle.
I am glad Slipcunt refused to do the commercial. I like Coq Roq much better. That one dude from Coq Roq in the end of the commercial looks pretty buff, I bet he could kick Slipcunt's ass. Hell, I'd pay to see Slipknot and Coq Roq get in an all out brawl. That would be piss your pants funny.
I can see now that Slipknot's image probably was ripped off by the commercial, or that was the original intent, anyway. However, I never made the conneciton between Coq Roq and Slipknot until this whole fucking debate started. I still don't see why Slipknot are getting their jumpsuits in a bunch, they're filthy rich, and it's not like people are gonna stop listening to Slipknot or coming to their shows because of a Burger King commercial.
While they may have legitimate pretense for the case, the whole ordeal is still very silly, and Slipknot is just gonna end up shooting themselves in the foot with this one.
Then again, maybe not. Come to think about it, all the Slipknot fans are probably behind them 100% and are jprobably boycotting BK as we speak.

Anything to make a buck these days.

Think about it, if a company tried to hire you for something you turned them down and they Intentionally rip your band off are you gonna be a pussy and just sit there and let it happen?

Btw they ripped of slipknots dvd thing from cock roq's first video with the huddle crap with few words taken and then they hit a dude in a clown mask to taunt slipknot.

Burger king intentionally did it and are thinking no consequences will come into play.

Anyone who rips something off and TAUNTS who they ripped off deserves to be sued or owner get their ass kicked no matter who the artist is.

Would that not mean Britney Spears should sue Alexi Laiho?

Seen a new Coq Roq commercial for BK last night. They were all in a limo and rolled it

I love those dudes more and more everytime I see them.

Maybe its a publicity thing between BK and Slipknot. If they kiss and make up soon we'll know.

That Bambi vs. Gozilla thing is a short movie by Marv Newland, I think. I saw it back in the 70's and it's pretty amusing. The credits are funny, too.

I just saw a BK commercial on Comedy Central that showed the backs of a few people and the chicken fries, but no band, no costumes, no music other than some mundane non-metal backing music.
The saga continues.

How is Burger King hurting Slipcock? Why should they care if someone is ripping their shitty band off with a shitty impression band? Are you going to agree with the rest of this suburban shithole of corporate slander and sue everything everytime you get the chance, not taking into consideration your a big fat pussy if you do?

Was McDonalds taunting children with their adds of burger, shakes, and fries and making them fat? So that makes it right for their fat asses to sue Mcdonalds for eating shitty fatty food? Its not the same situation but its a prime example of the ridiculous sueing spree we have going on in this world.

Correction: sueing spree in your country. Not every place in the world joins in the American madness, you know.

No, but they're all joining the "fat brigade" as we're figuring out that it's bad for us. It's crappy that they advertise some of the things as "premium" and give the misleading idea that it's healthy. I can make the majority of all that stuff myself and I've got chicken fingers down to a fast gallon baggie science with minimal clean-up so I can get my fix for those once in awhile.

Just like white bread used to mean wealth, being portly meant you had the money to be that way. Now it just means you aren't as healthy as you could be.

Well, the rest of the world just does the "monkey see, monkey do" copycat stuff. Just because we're the trend setting, easy buck makers doesn't mean you all have to follow suit.

(And I'm being sarcastic. I think some of the things sued over the people should be publically maimed for.)

That was legally done you ask permission from the songwriter etc. they get a profit from whatever it's sold on, britney spears is making money off of C.O.B., unless of course the item it's on is not sold like to a store and what not then they're not making a profit and in that case she can't sue them.

@Hx, how would you handle the situation if someone was ripping your band off AND taunting your band at the same time, just sit there and go "oh that's cool!!!!"

@bia, yes i road the little bus

Yes...I would.

It's called immunity from faggyass sensitivity.
