Extremely distasteful marketing

You've probably seen it. You've laughed at it's sheer stupidity. You can't get the punch line out of your head... It's Dr. Angus and his "Power Sitting" program, featured on Burger King's ad for the new Shroom and Swiss Angus Burger!!!
In case you've been living under a rock, and have no idea what I'm talking about, I'll set the scene. Dr. Angus is in a room full of excessively-busy men and women-- too busy to even sit down. He remedies this problem by offering them a new angus burger. It's so good that you just have to stop everything and sit down to enjoy it! As more and more "recover" by seizing their angus burgers and relishing in sitting down to eat it, Dr. Angus enthusiastically shouts,
"You're full of sit! I'm full of sit! We're all full of sit!!!"

That's right folks: If you go to BK and eat one of their angus burgers, you too can be full of sit!
WHAT BONEHEAD THOUGHT THIS WAS ACTUALLY A GOOD IDEA????
