Think the Geico Cavemen is bad... it gets WORSE

You get to that point where you think that things can't get any more surreal, but then, the rabbit hole twists a bit further and you see that you were terribly, terribly wrong.

Earlier this week, I had reported on the fact that the Geico Cavemen were picked up for a pilot order by ABC. A story that has come out in recent days that it is going to be the most bland and inoffensive show out there if it gets picked up. I thought that would be the weird commercial crossover this week.

Sadly, I was mistaken. Not to be outdone, Now it seems that the Burger King is going to have a movie. You heard me.

A character which I feel safe in saying more people are creeped out by than Hannibal Lecter is going to be the star of a movie, and most likely, not a thriller either. Now, I don't know anything about the film, but I have a sneaking suspicion that before it even hits theatres, there will be mashups and reedits of its trailer that will reveal the twisted, Fincheresque underbelly of the rubber-faced Burger King and a new tagline with a variation of "That isn't beef in those burgers". You just watch...

...in Horror.
