“The forces of the Righteous Right are pressuring Burger King to pull an advertising campaign they launched this past weekend. My company has been involved in the mobile content, which is why I’ve had a front row seat to all this.
www.coqroq.com Look for the ringtones. We did the conversions and are delivering for BK.
Help me get the word out through blog/guerrilla marketing. Quickly, before they pull it. Post this to your blogs, and request that your friends’ list post it to their blogs, and so on, and so forth …
I have more to comment about what’s been happening in my work life, including a campaign I did that I want you to help get the word out. But that has to wait until tomorrow. For now … go check out Coq Roq. The Righteous Right doesn’t *want* you to, of course.”
Please pass this around as far and as fast as you can. 🙂 Thank you.
this is amusing.
it’s an ad campaign for “chicken fries”?
I kinda like the music and the band actually, and the “feeding beautiful women chicken fries” could have been a lot more oversexualized and objectionable. *grin*
yeah, I’ll spread the word.
Help me get the word out through blog/guerrilla marketing.
So, help her do her marketing or the religious right has won? That’s pretty ballsy.
I’m not asking anyone to do “my marketing”, actually. I didn’t manage this project, and my company is only involved in providing the ringtones. I was just in a position to see, from the sidelines, what kind of furor started erupting after the agency that did the marketing for BK started running the overall campaign.
Please note, I didn’t say “religious right”, either. I said “Righteous Right” — as in self-righteous. I don’t necessarily equate being religious to being self-righteous. Indeed, many of the religious people I know aren’t.
Now, if I was going to do shameless self-promotion, I’d point you here: http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/skyhigh/ and tell you to click on “Go Mobile” to see the stuff I’ve worked on. As far as I know, the Righteous Right would not have a single objection to anything done on that campaign. But you can still check it out, if you want.
