    Crap, cringey ad. Wouldn't entice me into the place. Getting people talking about the place isn't a good idea if its generally negative.


    This on the other hand is funny and might make me look more favourably on McD's.

    Would have been funny if some gurrier pulled up in a hatchback and became violent when the guy slagged him off. Maybe pull out a Glock or something.

    Fuks sake, can't believe they actually thought people would respond well to that crapolla ad.

    Want real "man-food"? Eat an apple. Beats anything, and I mean anything, that McDonalds have to offer. And you have the added bonus of not funding such dicks.

    I think that would be a good ad for their Taste of America range.

    That's one way to admit you drive a Fiat Sicento without saying it.

    People will get offended over anything these days.

    It's an ad, seriously if you don't like it don't watch it.

    Can we say "man food" these days? :pac: What about the ladieeees?

    Zero interest in McDonald's terrible food and ad campaigns... Haven't been to a McD's in ages and don't really ever intend to again.

    Hyndai accent driver here too... I'd just rather spend money on other things than a nice car, which would lead to a fortune spent on tax, nct and insurance.

    Jamie Oliver won a case last year (That was kept very very quiet) against McD's proving their burgers are "unfit for human consumption" and they changed their ways since... apparently.

    I'd rather "Man-up" without that food, thx. I'd probably eat a chip if you offered though... JUST ONE!

    It's not about just one ad, it's about the whole system man.

    It's about sticking it to the man, in this case Ronald Mc ****ing Donald, that guys a psychopath, and his french fried blood tasting empire is evil and needs to be taken down.

    Also,I know FA about cars,but I thought the Focus was a guys car? Colin McRae and all that...

    McRae's Focus might have been a wee bit more exciting to drive than a poverty-spec Focus.

    apparently to be a man you're not allowed to make good health or financial choices.
    another cog in the wheel of advertising portraying men as idiots.

    Seriously, there's enough negativity in the world. All they were doing was having a bit of a laugh and giving away food. It's random acts like this that brightens up peoples day. If it had happened to me I'd be laughing about it and telling everyone about it all day.

    It's insulting ****

    What I took from the ad is that being a man according to McDonalds means driving some obscenely outsized planet killer while giving yourself type 2 diabetes - a tough sell if they want anyone other than idiots for customers.
