It probably is a joke, BK is known for PR like this. I mean, who doesn't remember the subvservient chicken?

But I like the idea of the campaign. While McD is going all "Hip Hop-Gangsta" with "I'm lovin' it" BK just goes the other way and does sort of awkward, uncool things.

I hope it's just a joke and not a real BK's attempt to conquer earlier neglected market niches...

I find it totally hillarious. Just look at their name. "Coq Roq"

It's like a parody of Slipknot I guess

It's great. I love the small bit where they punk out the dude in the clown makeup with the chicken nuggets. The song is nice, too.

"Bob your heeeeead!"

And yes, the name is damn witty.

Coq Roq = GWAR rip off, except dressed as *****

They're strangely better than Slipknot.

BUT LIKE OMG I WENT TO HOT TOPIC AND THEY DONT HAVE NE COQ ROQ SHIRTS!!!! WHY!!!

(kidding)

They're not as cool as Slipknot, because Slipknot has a Sampler, and that's ****ing metal, right?

bk's just going for the 'uncool' market. It's not working though. They're down to #5 in sales. Mcdonalds, Wendys, Arbys, and Taco Bell are beating them, in that order.

Wow. Who'd believe that, "I'm full!" bullsh*t is winning over Coq Roq?
