Where’s the beef?
This is a random ‘beefy’ guy I found on Flickr. I have no idea how he smells.
Burger King launches beef-scented body spray

NEW YORK — Looking to beef up your mojo this holiday season?
Burger King Corp. may have just the thing. The home of the Whopper has launched a new men’s body spray called “Flame”. The company describes the spray as “the scent of seduction with a hint of flame-broiled meat.”
The fragrance is on sale at New York City retailer Ricky’s NYC in stores and online for a limited time for $3.99.
Burger King is marketing the product through a Web site featuring a photo of its King character reclining fireside and naked but for an animal fur strategically placed to not offend.
The marketing ploy is the latest in a string of viral ad campaigns by the company. Burger King is also in the midst of its Whopper Virgins campaign that features an taste test with fast-food “virgins” pitting the Whopper against McDonald’s Corp.’s Big Mac.
Burger King Holdings Inc. shares rose 3 cents to $20.41 in midday trading.
More beef than you’ll get at fast-food joints!

Just keep clicking and spraying until you get to The King! He wants you NOW!
My comment: Some folks at Burger King’s ad agency got into the eggnog a little early. I just hope they all wear the scent and have train cars full to give as Christmas gifts! A-h-h, honey, you smell SO good, I could just eat you up!
Did I mention that the hamburger was invented in Athensboy’s home town? Yep, Athens. Look it up on Wikipedia. Nah, those other guys were lyin’. Everybody in Athens knows that ‘Uncle Fletch’ was at that World’s Fair serving up his burger sandwiches!
Fletcher Davis late 1880s, Athens, Texas. In 1974, The New York Times ran a story about Louis’ Lunch having a serious challenger to the title of inventing the hamburger. According to the McDonald’s hamburger chain the inventor was an unknown food vendor at the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904. Newspaper columnist, Texas historian, and restaurateur Frank X. Tolbert said that this food vendor was Fletcher Davis. Davis operated a café at 115 Tyler Street on the north side of the courthouse square in Athens, Texas, in the late 1880s. Local lore holds that Davis was selling an unnamed sandwich of ground beef at his lunch counter at that time. During the 1980s Dairy Queen ran a commercial filmed in Athens, calling the town the birthplace of the hamburger.
Ever notice how much marketing crap is run through the Associated Press nowadays? When is an ad not an ad but news?
