Slipknot in the ring with Coq Roq

The metal band Slipknot are threatening a lawsuit over the latest Burger King ads - sending this C&D style letter to Burger King headquarters and Crispin Porter and Bogusky which the Smoking Gun shares with us. B.K Lawyers posse, in turn, notes that many bands "wear masks and/or make-up to accomplish a mask-like effect, including but not limited to the bands KISS, Gwar, Insane Clown Posse, Mushroomhead, Mudvayne, Marilyn Manson, Los Straitjackets, and the Spits."

I'm wondering if this was just a smart move by Slipknot to get them some more press attention, and the BK campaign.. and...
Wow, I'm way too cynical...
But maybe CP&B people leaked the document to the Smoking Gun because god knows it'll be all over the web in an instant now.

Hat tip to Researcher who was up earlier than me this morning. ;)

Burger King has responded to the cease and desist letter and their response is also available on the Smoking Gun website.
On the second page, they deny contacting Slipknot to appear in a BK ad campaign because they were "very interested in reaching Slipknots demographic", rather at that time CP&B contacted approx. 19 bands (including slipknot) "across a wide variety of music genres to solicit individual musicians to appear in spots encouraging young people to vote."
