Ok, fine I'll post it, even though I think this is a Badlander that isn't really a proper Badlander, since so many are emailing me about this. Sure I made some accusing caughs when I posted the recent comhem campaign, but this isn't a flat out copycat campaign. Might be inspired by Wendy however, it wouldn't be the first time Wendy Kaufman inspired an ad campaign. As the story goes, her boundless energy and willingness to reply to all the Snapple Fan Mail is what made her a national Snapple icon in the first place.
When it was discovered that Kaufman had been answering Snapple fan-mail in her free time (because nobody in the office wanted to do it themselves), their brand new advertising agency, Kirshenbaum & Bond, developed a campaign around her energetic personality.
So, the question I ask you dear readers, is do you think this is a homage, inspired by or a real Badlander? What do you think? Compare commercials inside.

It's a nod to Wendy but the similarities end there. Not that I understand bork-bork.

I think that King tips their hat to KB, which is interesting in itself since Stockholm today is a thousand miles and almost twenty years later.
