The Smoking Gun is there:

Slipknot's Burger King Beef

Metal band threatens lawsuit over chain's chicken fries campaign

AUGUST 17--Claiming that its image and persona have been hijacked as part of a marketing campaign for Burger King's new chicken fries, the costumed heavy metal band Slipknot is threatening the fast food giant with legal action. In the below August 4 letter, the band's lawyers charge that Coq Roq--a mock metal band featured in new Burger King commercials--was created as a "look-alike, sound alike 'band' in order to influence the Slipknot generation to purchase Chicken Fries." Counsel for the band (which is pictured at right) 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. Coq Roq's lead guitarist, The Talisman, is pictured at left. Details of Slipknot's beef with Burger King surfaced in connection with an August 12 federal court filing made by the fast food company and its advertising firm. Burger King wants a U.S. District Court judge in Miami to issue a "declaratory judgment" that the Coq Roq campaign does not infringe on Slipknot's publicity and trademark rights. As for the similar masks, Burger King lawyers--who apparently read the metal mag Revolver--note that many groups "wear masks and/or make-up to accomplish a mask-like effect, including but not limited to the bands KISS, Gwar, Insane Clown Posse, Mushroomhead, Mudvayne, Marilyn Manson, Los Straitjackets, and the Spits."

theyre fucking morons

Wait, the term "Coq Roq" is allowed on national TV commercials?

Its ok if it refers to chickens.

Just don't try saying "breast" on public radio.

Those commercials are pretty bad.

ILMNOAT

I laughed my nuts off at this.

way to go slipknot,

fuck that coq

Eddie Basden knows.

Yeah, I almost rolled off the couch when I saw the moniker "Coq Roq" is a Burger King ad. Add this to that big, scary King character in the Hootie commercials and BK is getting plumb freaky. All they need now is for a member of Coq Roq to get caught stuffing an order of chicken fries into his pants to misrepresent. Yeah.

That tender crisp bacon chedder ranch is pretty good, the chicken fries aren't half bad either.

I must respectfully disagree. They were pretty lacking. I felt gypped after the eating was done. And a bit gross, but mostly just gypped.

You speak the truth.

slipknot?

SLIPNOT?!

these commercials freak me out.
