Oh, Daily News, please don't ever go

Joe Natoli better never shut down the Daily News. No other newspaper in the world would have this great of an item:

Howard Eskin is happy to acknowledge the resemblance between himself and the Burger King in the fast food chain's recent TV spots. "The fact they call him the king even accentuates the connection too," says the 610 WIP sports yakker.

"It's flattering, now I'm on national television," says the self-proclaimed King of Bling.

Eskin says he's "sure the food is delicious, but I'm not a fast food guy." We e-mailed Eskin's picture to Burger King's corporate office yesterday but execs declined to comment on any resemblance.

The side-by-side comparison, courtesy of the DN:

Maybe Eskin can hire Richard Sprague to sue Burger King for stealing his likeness.

Update: According to PhillyEdge, PhillyBurbs had this last week.
