Is anyone else freaked out or disturbed by the Burger King ads?

Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against BK or their ads. I just think that the big king head is so strange. The first commercial was the one where the guy wakes up with the oversized BK head man staring at him in bed and offers him a breakfast sandwich. If I ever woke up with something like that staring at me, punches and kicks would be flying all over the place. The latest ad I saw was where the King was working on a high beam construction site and he slowly and casually looks over at the worker. FREAKY! It's not just the abnormally large king head that weirds me out. It's also that smiling expression he has. It's like something out of a horror movie! "Hi, I'm the King...have some food...I'm going to kill you now...hahaha!" Come to think about it, the King does 'playfully' shove the beam worker at the end causing him to lose his balace and almost fall. Of course they laughed at the end, but you never know...maybe he did really want to kill him. ;)

Maybe it's just me, but I find those ads freaky and yet I can't look away when they come on.
