Coq Roc Update: Slipknot Taking Legal Action

Earlier this month, Slipknot ordered its minions in the legal department to fire off a cease and desist letter to Burger King executives and their advertising agency, threatening a trademark-infringement lawsuit over a series of ads hawking the chain's new Chicken Fries and featuring a band bearing a remarkable resemblance to the Grammy-nominated outfit.
