I think I was only one who has not posted Andy’s comeback. Millions of ding dongs that have no idea about art got to experience some Andy and well art. Good on that. the point is that they did NOT get to experience any art by Andy, because that piece is not by Andy in the first place and then because the ad violates the principles of his art — so millions of “ding dongs” got to be deceived about Andy’s art!
Well, here it is..
Andy Warhol was featured in the Burger King ad—naturally, munching on a Burger King Whopper, after a brief tussle with a ketchup bottle—with the brand debuting the #EatLikeAndy hashtag. According to a piece on AdWeek, “the vast majority of about 400 Super Bowl viewers surveyed by ‘on demand user insights platform’ Alpha said they didn’t recognize [Warhol]—or even know that he’s been dead for more than thirty years.”
