    Sorry to interrupt your day, but I just got that stupid MacDonald's ad with the annoying 'but I don't want you to be an astronaut' kid.

    The parents turn into kids when they go into MacDonald's and turn back to parents when they leave.

    Who'd have thunk it?

    I hope the kid (who says his dad is a truck driver) enjoys the fee he recieved as it will be scant consolation for the intense bullying he will face later in life.

    Turning on your tv was probably your first mistake.

    McDonalds are one of the world leaders at creating brand loyalty among children. Customers for life and all that.

    That is not the ad in question.

    The head-wreck is in the one I've described.

    I guess I've eaten in a McDonald's at most two or three times in my life, although I'm getting close to seventy. Or maybe that's how I've managed to extend my lifespan.;)

    The one ad slogan of theirs that has stuck in my mind is "Where's the beef?", so I really found it amusing to see a big sign outside their branch in Connaught Place in the centre of New Delhi. It said: "We guarantee that our food contains no beef".:p

    Why did you have to mention your age?

    Now I just can't bring myself to type what I really want to say.

    For shame!

    My sincere apologies for straying from the OP.

    I hang my head in shame for being so egocentric.

    Please forgive me good Sir.
