This McDonald's commercial offends me
They played it a lot during Football yesterday.
McDonald's sticking themselves into national tragedies, as if their sign is some kind of beacon of hope just turned my stomach.
I know they were going for the "We are America" vibe, no you are crappy food that makes people unhealthy and fat.
And your not a church, so the God stuff is nauseating.
(I know, what's the big deal, just a stupid commercial, but hey, sometimes you see something that just makes you vent, glad DU is here for that)
:rotf:

37. Kind of like when Walmart realized the gig was up.
They couldn't advertise their low prices anymore, because service had become horrible, shelves were going bare, and many of the prices weren't any better than Target or any other major retailer. So they switched to the touchy-feely ads about all the wonderful things they do for America. This is a "jump the shark" kind of ad a company does when they don't have anything positive to say about their actual product.
:rotf: marketing geniuses too? :rotf:

Taking marketing advise from the DUmmies is like buying Life Insurance from Jack Kevorkian.

Hmm, Texas Toast/Atman/Rob...has Walmart closed or been suffering giant losses? Yeah, didn't think so. Insufferable ass-clown, keep dreaming.

The commercial was patriotic and supported our troops. Of course Dummies hate it.

:thatsright: Really?

The lib's advice on marketing is about as effective as the advice libs give to conservatives.

DUmmies hate corporations using tragedy for business.
Tragedies should only be used for political gain.

I don't see the problem. As far as I can tell many of these were from local communities. Franchises are small businesses connected to the place they live, especially if it's a small town.

I thought it was a great commercial. Almost made me want to go to McDonalds.

70. Other than the tumblr link and music, I'm not seeing this as reaching out to millennials
The content is more boomer and to a lesser extent gen-x fodder with that suburban Americana feel. They're still not getting the demographic they're supposed to be rebranding to try and reach.
I can see what they were trying to do, but they didn't quite hit it on the head. Like their food, it was a recognizable attempt at what it was supposed to be, but it seemed a bit off and wasn't very satisfying.
I'm not offended by it, just unenthusiastic.
Over 99 billion served. Quite an accomplishment considering that they did it without any help from marketing genius DUmmy herding cats. I eat at McDonalds at least once every week. My favorite menu item is the hazelnut iced coffee.

I like the Ferguson sign.
It speaks to me that the violence, mob mentality, and anarchy of the left will not prevent American values from surviving.

Butt hurt again? Good grief! :mental:

This is funny because the DUmmies always accuse conservatives about getting pissed off at those commercials showing multi-ethnic families. The truth is we don't notice them until they tell us we are outraged by them and then we go "meh".

That was my first thought.
They're idiots. :whatever:

Seemed like a pretty moving commercial to me. Oh wait, that would require you to have feelings apart from bitterness and hatred. None of the DUches qualify then.

The reason is simple--they think that we have the same thought processes as they do. Not quite.

This was my take as well. I can understand why DUmmies were bothered by it so much, it shows small businesses (the franchise) and small towns in a good light. They hate both with a passion.

So? **** you, degenerate.
You'd be falling all over yourself with praise if the commercial was filled with fag flags, instead of things regular Americans appreciate.

Problem I have with conservatives in government is they tend to heed said advice. :argh:

My reaction, exactly.

They don't want to admit that fact. :whatever:

After a long hard night of looting, nothing hits the spot like an Egg McMuffin and a McCafé light. That sign was a beacon of hope to the weary rioters.
