The days when he would pop up, unannounced, in your bed in the morning, Burger King's King character has never actually spoken a single word, preferring to let his creepily silent visage speak for him. But now, to celebrate National <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Sign_Language" target="_blank">American Sign Language</a> Day, the King is speaking up by signing.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rkiwXm46S4k" width="500"></iframe></div><br /><br />And he's asking BK fans to come up with an official sign for the Whopper sandwich. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/whoppersign" target="_blank">#WhopperSign</a>.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2016/04/burger-kings-asl-for-deaf-community.html" title="Burger King's Whopper Sign"><img height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHQK0kqTuYQ6t3PCwC3EKoZe-ZvqAVRrujWJpq9K_vCh9HkOGFiW4jNr6V_MKjA6yVKnirwSqZ5CfNvkxDak3wZREYNhMXG-Ax7n51HFNt4-bWwxKj2DI5IVvXfdI0J2sEFUSoh_zr6wuI/s400/asl-whopper-burger-king.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><br /><br />"The Burger King brand is built not only on including everyone, but celebrating everyone," Fernando Machado, the fast-food chain's svp of global brand management, said in a statement. "National ASL Day felt like a perfect opportunity for the King to extend our brand mantra and engage with the ASL community on such a great day."<br /><br /><br /><br />It also has the King interpreting a recent TV spot in ASL, as you can see below.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Z2iRjpO9eqs" width="500"></iframe></div><br /><br />BK has also created an ASL version of its logo, and is making a scholarship donation benefiting students who are dedicating their studies to ASL language and interpretations. <a href="http://www.adweek.com/adfreak/burger-kings-king-finally-speaks-signing-american-sign-language-day-170785" target="_blank">SOURCE</a>
