From Agenda Inc:
Sexual double entendres were removed overnight from Burger King's new website, CoqRoq.com, but the company claims it has received no complaints from consumers or other outside groups, AdAge reports. The deleted content included captions, under photos of young girls, that read: “Groupies love the Coq” and “groupies love Coq.”
BK are claiming “malfunctions in the Flash and XML programming were responsible for putting the captions up.” Now, I'm not trying to be a technical genius here, but thats sounds to me like a very unusual “ Flash programming error” unless you happening to be running your web server on a computer named HAL.
Note to marketers: when you create a site based around a fake band with the word “Cock” in it, for a product that's designed to go in your mouth, don't act surprised when someone assumes it's less than innocent.

Scaramouch, clearly you misunderstood. The campaign is not based around a fake band with the word "cock" in it. The campaign is based around a fake band with the word "coq" in it.
big fuqing difference.
Sorry, my mistaq.
