The Burger King Is No More.  The Burger King mascot, haunting your dreams ever since ad agency Crispin Porter Bogusky introduced it eight years ago, is being tabled by the fast food giant in favor of ads consisting of nothing but close-ups of their food and on-screen supers (such ads are known as “foopers” in the ad world). This seems like a wild overcorrection. Isn’t there a new ad campaign that’s more interesting than foopers but won’t make me want to jump off a balcony? -DM [buzzfeed]
