It was a strong advert. Everything is controversial these days it seems.

How was it strong?

"Sorry kid you have absolutely nowt in common with your dead dad, oh except for the fact that you both enjoy disgusting, cheap, luke-warm fish sandwiches. That counts, right?"

It's Marketing.. it was better than a generic advert you see all the time.

Is it good marketing, though? Is it accurate? I mean, can they not advertise McDonalds as what it is - something that you occasionally grab quickly because you're in town and want something cheap and fast without having to think too much about it?

Am I being naive? Are there genuinely families out there for whom bloody Maccy D's is a part part of their identity and history? "You want to know more about your dead dad. Well let me tell you son - he liked McDonalds. Let's go to McDonalds and think about him."

It's flat-out ridiculous

She was really patronising!

"Did he have blue eyes like me mum?"

"LOL no he didn't have pansy blue eyes he had big strong brown eyes! Stop thinking you were like your dad! Nothing like him at all apart from the fish thing buddy."
