Burger King's DBZ promotion

Burger King will launch a DBZ promotion due to the huge success of another Japanese import, Pokemon. The promotion will include seven figurines and trading cards. There will be National TV advertisement to support the promotion. This may help boost DBZ awareness because there are no DBZ ads on any station but on the stations that air it.

Here is what "Nations Restaurant News," had to say.
