Turns out that despite all those breaking into people's homes, running across football fields and trying to shove people off high rises, the King isn't as cheerful a guy as one might suspect.

The General Counsel for Greenfield Online, the company conducting a survey about Burger King possibly creating some next-gen King-infested video games, was the opposite of delighted to learn that we were sent the information along with concept images.

The GC of GO (for BK) claims we are violating the intellectual property rights of Burger King and demands we remove the images and text post haste.

We're not taking down the post, but we will take some of those scrumptious breakfast sandwiches the King has been peddling. We'll gladly trade in our claim of Fair Use for a bag full of delicious sausage Croissan'wiches.

Hit the jump for the official lawyer speak. I guess we can take this as a confirmation?
