Sorry if you've heard/seen this but...

Looks like McDonald's is trying to be hip again. In an effort to sound cool and reach the ever-important urban demographic, Mcdonald's new flash ad has this guy:


Telling us what he'd do to a double cheeseburger if he was ever left alone with one:


Before you freak out, you have to give the guy some slack, after all:


How can you argue with that?

Blog about the ad where I first heard of this
See the ad live!

And, on an unrelated note, here is the Super Bowl ad from Bud that you wont see on tv.

I always wondered why Wendy's hair stuck out like that.

Good call...


PS - Note to advertising whores at McDonalds: "Two-ten... whassup with your fren?" You are not hip. Your product is not hip. The people who eat your products every day are not hip. Stop cluttering my television with retarded advertisements. I am not loving it.

Edit: never mind...too snide and "rant-y". I'm trying to be good...



I don't like their commercials either...just leave it at that.

The best part is, the little "adblock" tab on every picture.

the
I'd Hit It
phrase always reminds me of when i first started working here in new mexico

the hospital was building us a brand new area and one of the big wigs was showing me around the department...it was still being worked on and the construction workers had a piece of paper hanging on the wall that listed things to do...."paint trim, patch ceiling" etc etc. and one of the tasks to do was to hang up a picture of a cow...now the person showing me around was a very religious woman (though i didn't know that at the time) and i pulled her aside and pointed to the list and said..."really now, i don't care what strange things the workers do on their free time, but do they need to be writing it down here on their list of things to do" and then i pointed to item number three on the list:

"Mount Cow"

strangely i did not get the reaction i expected...she just looked at me rather icily and walked out of the room and continued the tour...probably not the best first impression you can make on someone who can fire you

I guess they kinda always thought about this. They never said 99 billion fed, they say served.

I guess that leaves just enough room for the people fucking cheeseburgers.

I can't see a MacDonald's commercial without thinking about Morgan Spurlock puking out of his car window. Maybe they should try putting Shuffles in the Happy Meals, instead...

DAMIT!
There are going to kill the "I'd hit it" trend! So much time and effort down the drain because Mc-E-Ds wants to be 'hip'... fuck that!

Well let it go out with a bang, that's what I say!

This has always been my favorite 'hit it' pic...


no sig, how's that for being a rebel!

It ain't got nothin' on mine:



The first time I saw this, I thought I was going to pass out from laughing. There isn't one of us who came of age playing guitar in the 80's that didn't spend at least three weeks in a band like this.

"Baddest sumbitches around, man...they play that dang ol' Night Ranger song, man...sounds just like the real fuckin' thing!"

Holy crap...

I was right in the thick of it, too: red zippered parachute pants (going for the Loverboy vibe), biggest mullet in three counties and my Fender Jazz Bass, slung just so...I won't lie. Walking sex on a stick.



Hell, I'd hit it too.



Gotta stand in solidarity with my rockin' brethren...

Look at that dipshit on the left. $10 says he's the drummer.

I think I know him!
