I really hate those new Mcdonalds commercials!!!!!!!

I really hate those new Mcdonalds commercials!!!!!!!

All of this stupid urbaninaztion just pisses me off. It hate how they water down steriotypes to push more fatty foods to people. They water down rap to make it palitaple for the white suberbanite and it just makes a mockery of black culture. It seems to be an ongoing theme Lets throw shitty rap and a bunch of black people playing basketball together and show them eating food that will not help you play sports in anyway and we will sell more of our shit to white kids and suberbanites. Just IMO

what does showing black people playing basketball have to do with white people? Are you saying they should be showing white people playing basketball instead?

HUH? More and more commercials everyday have rap in them, and having black people play basketball in a MC D's ad has nothing to do with trying to sell to "suburbanites". Its an ad merely advertising food. And watered down rap for white people? Hello, its Justin Timberlake, a white guy, not a rapper and its called R & B. No one said the commercial was about how Mc D's food helps to play sports. But you are entitled to your opinion..

It is just a marketing tactic. Not a racist comment coming up. Young white kids are trying to be black look around fact. White kids try to imitate black people so if they see them eating mcds they might want mcds too.

Thats looking at it from a marketing perspective.

Wow...for a forum that had several threads about POOP, ya'll are reading waaaay too deeply into food advertising

I just hate the jingle...it sticks in your head and makes you NOT want to eat their food...or any food at all! So nauseating.

Yeah. The new commercials are annoying.

Read this article (article is below the cartoons). This guy hates it more than we do, and he does a good job making fun of it.




^ Caption reads: "Pointing his finger defiantly, Ronald is no stranger to rap music. "

lol!
