Evil Clown Band Slipknot Furious At Parody

Notorious Drug Fueled Evil Clowns Fight To Protect Hard Earned ‘Brand’ Reputation From Soulless Corporation.

Corporate Fast Food heavyweight Burger King tried to awaken from its deep slumber recently with a Parody of Super Bad Band Slipknot. They sponsored a band called Coq Roq and launched a new chicken strip.

The Humane Society was not amused by the ‘Subservient Chicken’ overtones of the campaign and were disturbed by what they perceived as the promotion of cockfighting. Sauces include creamy buffalo, barbecue, honey mustard, sweet and sour, and ranch.

Campaign ads feature clips from music videos, including: "Cross the Road" and "Bob Your Head."

Lawyers are famous for their sense of humor; Slipknot representatives wrote a cease and desist letter and then the lawsuits got underway.

Chicken Fries Not In Keeping With Band’s Evil Market Position

Slipknot is well known for songs such as:

People = Shit!
The Heretic Anthem
Wait And Bleed
Car Bomb

They have worked hard to claim their market position and maintain their market share in the face of growing competition from imitators and new entrants to the market. Chicken strips are just not subversive enough, it seems, to increase their share of wallet among their primary target demographic.

When Burger King was asked to comment on its counter suit and the apparent bad taste of the Marketing Strategy they would only comment:

“Our delicious-nutritious thin chicken strips are coated with a tasty batter and served in a portable container with a built-in well for the delectable dipping sauce.”

Asked for comment on the Humane Society’s concern Burger King would only reply:

“The packaging is designed to fit into a car cup holder!“

“The suggested retail price for new BK chicken fries is $1.69 for a six-piece snack order, $2.69 for a nine-piece meal and $3.99 for a nine-piece value meal. Be sure to get the value price correct in your copy,” they admonished reporters.

“In a way, there's no such thing as bad publicity. If you're causing a stir you're going to be talked about, so maybe that's what they're hoping for. Other than that …to me, it's nonsense. It's a joke, suing Burger King. I mean, who in Slipknot is a chicken? Which guy?”

Mime On Clown Action - Mime Cheats On Girlfriend With Clown

Mime After Mime is a catchy trip / love song / marketing ploy / tribute to loss of innocence and inevitable revenge.

For all those who have Loved and Hated:

Mime After Mime

Created by the beautiful, bitter and cynical minds at eStudio.com / www.blitzagency.com

The company is about ‘creating meaningful emotional relationships between buyer and brand.’

They pride themselves on getting their clients targeted market segment to ‘purchase more, shift perception faster, and deepen their brand awareness and loyalty – even with those who perceive branded anything as “the death of cool.”’

They are niche marketers targeting those who dislike marketing. This is done, in part, by deconstructing ‘cool’ and ‘marketing’ with irony, satire, postmodern winks, digs and risqué black comedy.

So their talent is to subvert subversion, or more properly to commercialize subversion, commodify it and sell it back to the those who are rejecting it.

Mime After Mime is ostensibly about Evil Clowns and their ilk, but the artistry of this slight of hand reveals eStudio.com to be magicians.

Ask yourself only; who are they laughing at? You, their clients or themselves?

Bromide The Clown Loves to Play Substitution

Evil Clowns love stories and sketches
They use them to explain-mock the world
To themselves
and Others

In this skit Bromide reveals the powers of Substitution and Parody to a neophyte clown.

- 2 Clowns

- Distractingly engaging women in flirtatious red dress, clinging, but not tight, ruffling in her confident sexual strides, an alluring smile that boarders on innocent, her full red lips . . .

- Extras in grey, peace officer, sailors, etc.

Ext. Day:

Bromide The Clown: The Big Top is a system, Oddity. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around. What do you see?

[Honk!]

Business men, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the Clowns we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system, and that makes them our enemy.

[Yoink!]

You have to understand, most of these Clowns are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect Banality…
Were you listening to me Oddity [meow], or were you looking at the woman in the red dress?

[Woof! Woof! Wolf Whistle]

Oddity The Clown: I was... [Splat – Oddity is pied]

Bromide The Clown: Look again. Spritz it! [Whooosh!]

Oddity The Clown: This...this isn't the Big Top?

Bromide The Clown: No. It's another training program designed to teach you one thing. If you are not one of us, you are one of them.

Oddity The Clown: What are they?

Bromide The Clown: Deadpan literalists and apathetic nonvoters. They can move in and out of any circus still hardwired to Banality. That means that anyone we haven't enlightened is potentially an audience member.

Inside the Big Top, they are everyone and they are no one. We have survived by amusing them, by frightening them, wearing floppy shoes and red noses. But they are the gatekeepers. They are guarding all the doors. They are holding all the keys, which means that sooner or later, someone is going to have to pie them.

[Gasp]

Oddity The Clown: Someone?

Bromide The Clown: I won't lie to you, Oddity. Every single Clown who has stood their ground, stood up for their dignity, everyclown who has fought this injustice - has lost. But where those Clowns have failed, you will succeed.

Oddity The Clown: Why?

Bromide The Clown: I've seen the unenlightened ignore dry humor and even pratfalls. Clowns have emptied entire whoopee cushions at them [Phhattt!] and got nothing but stony faces.

Yet their soul sucking dullness and tedious minds are based in a world that is built on rules. Because of that, they will never be as funny or at least as slightly humorous as you can be working a room with a three drink minimum.

Oddity The Clown: What are you trying to tell me, that I can dodge tomatoes? [Boom! Oddity is knocked off stage]

Bromide The Clown: No Oddity. I'm trying to tell you that when you that when you’re Really Funny, you won't have to.
