McDonalds pulls "dead dad" ad




Quote:
Fast food marketers have a pretty firm grasp on the attention span of children and, like it or not, have been pretty successful at targeting kids and getting them to eat burgers, fries, and chicken nuggets.

But for all of that sly and sneaky marketing, McDonald's is now dealing with the fallout from a very tone-deaf ad that was meant to be sentimental, but fell flat, if not downright offensive. What, thinking about the death of your parents doesn't make you crave burgers?

McDonald's eventually pulled the commercial, telling the BBC that they had no intention of being "offensive" and that they were just trying to "highlight the role McDonald's has played in our customers' everyday lives—both in good and difficult times."

It's not like the commercial ends with a young boy crying over his father's grave as tears fall into his milkshake, but McDonald's attempt to create emotionally driven content about a dead father ultimately leaves us feeling as confused as the kid in the ad.

You might want to sit down. I think I know who your father is.

Speaking of burger joints.........

MINNEAPOLIS -

Employees at a fast food restaurant in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, say a woman sprayed them with Mace during a dispute over fresh french fries.

According to the criminal complaint, police went to Wendy's Thursday afternoon after receiving a call about a disturbance, CBS Minneapolis reports.

When police arrived, employees told them 25-year-old Eiram Chanel Amir Dixson came through the drive-thru, ordered food and asked that her french fries be fresh.

During an ensuing argument, the employees said Dixson reached through the window.
Then an employee threw a soda at her.

Dixson grabbed Mace from her car and sprayed it through the drive-thru window, according to the employees.

The manager of the restaurant was hit directly in the face and another employee was also hit.

Dixson faces one charge of use of tear gas to immobilize.

It's about damned time. Fast food fries are not meant to be served after more than 10 minutes under a heat lamp; to do so is barbaric.
This Dixson woman is a patriot and should be given the keys to the city.

The ad should have ended with Timmy, eating fries, looking through the bedroom keyhole...and watching Ronald doing his mom.

Just order your fries without salt and a packet of salt.

Damn there's some gems of responses in here

As far as the ad goes, I think it's one of those things that you have to be silly and looking to be offended to get worked up about it, but McDonald's should also know that there are enough of those people out there today that it was going to be controversial and cause the offense culture to start a furor about it. Poor decision to waste the money making it.

Ronald's screaming "who's your daddy"...then cut to the kid dressed like a clown and Ronald teaching him how to hit a baseball...then eating another filet-o-fish..then kicking a soccer ball..then another filet-o-fish..then the obese clown kid on a ventilator with Ronald holding his hand...while the heart meter mainlines.

MaDonald's logo with "Whose YOUR Daddy" is the last shot ...it's the next "I'm loving it"
