If you didn't think rock and roll was dead before, we now have more irrefutable proof. And if you were not happy with Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler becoming a judge on American Idol, the 64-year-old singer's latest move is probably going to drive you completely up the wall.

Tyler appears in a new commercial for Burger King, promoting the fast food chain's new Crispy Chicken Strips. In the 30-second spot, Tyler works the drive-through window, gets touchy with a couple of female employees, slides across a counter on his butt and refuses a manager's orders to wear a hairnet.

• Burger King's Senior Vice President of North America Marketing, Alex Macedo, told AdAge, "The big challenge is how do you really grab people's attention? . . . We chose (Tyler as one of the) celebrities to get people's attention faster and to show the diversity that we have with our brand."
• Meanwhile, Aerosmith recently delayed the release of its new studio album to September, with no official reason given for the hold-up.
• The disc will be the group's first set of all-new material since 2001's Just Push Play and first studio effort since the 2004 covers collection, Honkin' On Bobo.
• The group has had to work around Tyler's schedule as a judge on American Idol, where he is currently in his second season.
• Aerosmith will begin its summer Global Warming tour on June 16th in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Maybe Burger King will sponsor it?

CHECK IT OUT: Watch Steven Tyler's Burger King commercial:

JUST OUR OPINION: At least American Idol has something to do with music. Really, Steven? Selling chicken strips for Burger King? Is there a ceiling to how much money you need? Is there anything you won't do for a buck? It's amazing how far the man who made albums like Rocks and Toys In The Attic will go to tarnish his legacy and ruin his own image.

ASK YOUR LISTENERS

• Is it just us or does this make you vaguely ill?
• Does Tyler only ruin his own legacy by doing a commercial like this?
• You think he cares about his image now or is only obsessed with money?
