Burger King now has a cologne, called Flame. In their words: "The WHOPPER sandwich is America's Favorite burger. FLAME by BK captures the essence of that love and gives it to you. Behold the scent of seduction, with a hint of flame-broiled meat."
Am I the only person very disturbed by this?

It's still gotta be a prank. No marketing person in his/her right mind would do this. Of course, that is a big assumption ("right-mindedness") :-)
P.S. #1: I checked, and the firemeetsdesire.com website does seem to be owned by Burger King.
P.S. #2: The exclusive seller of the product put it in the "novelty" section of their website, right next to the "UGLY DOLL CLIP-ON TRAY":

Hey, I heard about it on NPR on "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me." They know everything. :)
Disgusting whether it is real or not!
