the king and the jester

i love family guy. and i love burger king (they have the best fries and they have veggie burgers). so naturally i love these new short films from burger king and seth mcfarlane called the seth macfarlane's cavalcade of cartoon comedy. so random. so funny. the first ones were released last week (thanks to mm for alerting me to these yesterday):









what does cavalcade mean again?

cavalcade: n a formal procession of people walking, on horseback or riding vehicles.
ORIGIN late 16 cent. (denoting a ride or eaid on horseback): from french, from italian cavalcata, from cavalcare, 'to ride,' based on latin caballus 'horse.'

there's also a sweepstakes to 'buy seth dinner.' interesting.

so of course i entered but it doesn't matter b/c i'm pretty sure there's like a 1 in 1,000,000,000,000 chance to win. lol

however, not everyone is as excited as i am about this partnership. here's an article i found that is very pessimistic about the idea claiming it will 'cheapen the dignity of the king.' umm hello? it's fast food, not mercedes or rolex. i'm pretty sure the majority of loyal family guy-watchers and burger king-eaters overlaps alot (i.e. 13-30 year old guys). and cp+b already teamed up with x box, something else the aforementioned target spends alot of time with. i'd say they're pretty much 'on target' (pun intended).

AH! i can't wait to go to this agency!
