Finally - the video of McD's super-annoying 'Sweat-tea-pie commercial'
I ripped this one back in May (see link below), but I simply cannot let it go. It's just so goddamn awful. The more I see it on air, the more it makes me actually not just dislike the golden arches, but hate McDonalds. BIG TIME.
It took a while to find the video online. Seems that someone from McD or the ad agency actually had the brains not to upload a hi-res version, but thanks to someone with an Android phone, the above ended up on YouTube.
I googled around a little bit, and the responses this video gets are actually all pretty BAD, which makes me wonder why no one at McD has pulled this freaking mess off the air.
Here are a few unfiltered comments:
From Shaggybevo:
"As if McDonald's couldn't out-retard themselves anymore than they already have... Goddammit mcDonald's, stop making me want to murder people."
"... you do have to admit that the ad wizards behind this one have successfully communicated one thing: People who eat at McDonald's are morons."
"The level of stupidity is unconscionable."
"...glad i'm not alone in my hatred of this ad."
"The sad thing is someone got paid to create this ad and then someone else decided it was acceptable."
Enough said. Just makes me wonder what kind of marketing genius works in the marketing department at McD, and what kind of creative genius cooked up this freaking mess. They all deserve to be fired. Goddamnit.
