Microsoft's Mr. Mom Marketer thinks you should Inflate your Caloric Intake to Win a Kinect


I have been having a little fun with Microsoft and their decisions to force-feed their new Wii rip-off gaming add-on to the masses of stay-at-home moms.  Now, they are starting to really work their demographic.  They have teamed up with Burger King to give a Kinect away every 15 minutes through November 28.  All you have to do is check your game pieces on, what I assume Microsoft's Mr. Mom Marketer feels is common stay-at-home mom cuisine, such high calorie, kill your organs, raise your cholesterol through the roof swill healthy treats as a Whopper or large fries.  But, I guess you won't have to worry about the calories once you have a Kinect, they will just melt right off.

You get game pieces on: 30oz drink; 40oz drink; Whopper sandwiches; large fries.

So, to get three chances to win, you can get a Whopper value meal with large fries and a large Coke to run you 1590 calories, 67g of fat, 17g. saturated fat, and 1820mg of sodium.  Oh, who am I kidding, this is the home shopping network, stay-at-home mom demographic we're talking about here - let's go with the Triple Whopper with Cheese value meal with large fries and large chocolate shake for 2750 calories, 134g of fat, 55g saturated fat, and 3220mg of sodium.  That is three game pieces.  Now, the Ellen/Oprah/HSN crowd is really salivating for a Kinect.

Here is the Web site for your "no purchase necessary" chance to win. https://bkkinect.bk.com/
