How to Analyze a Corporation's Questionable Advertising Choices
This is based on a real mascot, called “Li’l Sammy Mover.” I found the concept to be poorly thought out.
Another mascot that wasn’t given a lot of thought belongs to a restaurant in Butte, Montana called Pork Chop John’s which is the home of “John’s Pork Chop.” Their mascot is a pig wearing a crown, named “Pork Chop King.” I find that disturbing, as if he’s a despotic ruler who is inviting me to eat his subjects. For all I know, those pork chops are made from dissidents who spoke out against the Pork Chop King’s corrupt regime. I feel bad enough eating a fried pork chop sandwich and a side of pork nuggets without that kind of moral ambiguity.
