AT BURGER KING YOU CAN USUALLY  GET IT YOUR WAY, BUT ON THIS DATE BACK IN 2005, THE DES MOINES IOWA METAL ROCKERS, SLIPKNOT HAD AN ISSUE WITH A NEW ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN THAT FEATURED A MOCK MASK-WEARING METAL BAND, COQ ROQ …THE ROCKERS ATTEMPTED TO HOLD FAST FOOD GIANT BURGER KING’S FEET TO THE FLAME BROILER BY THREATENING THE WHOPPER CREATORS WITH LEGAL ACTION IN THE FORM OF A CEASE-AND-DESIST LETTER SENT TO THE FAST FOOD CHAIN. SLIPKNOT CONTENDED THAT BURGER KING HAD CREATED THE LOOK ALIKE/SOUND ALIKE BAND IN ORDER TO INFLUENCE THE SLIPKNOT GENERATION TO PURCHASE CHICKEN FRIES…AS EXPECTED THOUGH, BURGER CLAIMED THE CAMPAIGN DID NOT VIOLATE THE BAND’S TRADEMARK RIGHTS AND EVENTUALLY THE LEGAL ACTION WAS DROPPED… TAKE A PEEK BELOW THE LEGIT SLIPKNOT VIDEO OF THE SONG THAT FINALLY GARNERED THEM A GRAMMY TO SEE THE COMMERCIAL IN QUESTION…I GET WHY THEY FELT VIOLATED! ~ROXY
