Okay, Burger King's site for their transformers game really sucks. Not because it's lame, or not flashy enough; quite the opposite. The damn thing won't load!
I have incredibly slow internet. It's not dial-up, but not much faster. And I'm finding it increasingly difficult nowadays to get anything done, mainly because the world at large seems to think that everyone has high-speed interent. The Transformers game site (bktransformers.com) wouldn't load past the "enter your birthdate" thing in Firefox or Internet Exploder (oops, explorer, though the number of times that "explorer" seems to get lost makes me think he really needs an internet map). I finally had to do it in Opera, which it worked in, strangely enough.
But once I got to the site, it took about ten to fifteen minutes for each code I entered, just to load its stupid video of the tranformer-king smashing through a Burger King store and throwing an armored car at the screen (or whatever he was doing, it was hard to tell from the choppy animation that my slow internet created). And all that was, of course, just to tell me I hadn't won, please try again. I didn't really expect to win. I just wanted to enter the codes for the hell of it, seeing as I'm due for some good luck after dislocating my shoulder yesterday. But I don't think I'll be entering again, even if I do get more codes, just because it nearly crashed my computer just to load their stupid flash player thing (note: it was also impossible to load their basic site bk.com).
Note to Burger King: if you pay more attention to your lowly peasants, and maybe include a low-intensive feature so those of us with slow internet can actually load your site, you may be able to stave off a recreation of the French Revolution. As for me, I'm off to sharpen my guillotine. . . .
(CYA: None of this is meant as a threat to Burger King stores, its affiliates, associates, or management. It is only for the Burger King himself, him and his creepy smile.)
