Love him or hate him, the king is drawing a reaction from people and Burger King is reaping the benefits of major buzz. Burger King is now selling halloween masks of the king and subservient chicken on their website.

I'll be looking forward to shooting my own commercials where I randomly hand people breakfast sandwiches.

If you want to see some of the ads (including the famous Subservient Chicken head over to the Crispin Porter + Bogusky and check out their portfolio.
