That McDonald's ad 23:23 - May 15 with 17294 viewsjeera

Has finally attracted criticism.

How the feck could anyone think that was a good idea in the first place? How stupid.

Literally just saw this. Started and I was like "this is a life insurance ad, right". Then I saw them walk towards that generic brown building and was like "f*ck off".

Complete con trick, bound to be counter-productive, seriously stupid PR on their part.

I saw it once and like callis, thought "you utter morons".

Since then I pause and then skim, or turn the thing over.

My girlfriend lost her Dad at a young age, as did my own father. My Dad suppressed a lot of it for most his life and had what I would call close to a nervous breakdown in his 40s. My girlfriend has had no end of mental health issues many of which are rooted from younger life.

It's not exactly something that should be exploited by a multi-national corporate business to sell burgers. Or any business for that matter.

No, it's fecking disgraceful.

But on top of all that it's stupid.

How could anyone think it was going to go down well?

Reading some of the backlash, McDonalds has said; "We wanted to highlight the role McDonald's has played in our customers' everyday lives - both in good and difficult times."

You're a f*cking budget burger restaurant FFS, not a counselling service. Sometimes I really do despair for the industry I work in.

All I saw was some kid being told he's a loser whom even his own mother despised.

The only thing he had in common with his dead father is their shared taste in sh*t takeaway food.

Not the best ad I've ever seen, and makes Dolly's Haribos a fecking joy to watch.

I have to say, I watched it yesterday and even in my half away state of consciousness, thought they're lucky they didn't get criticised heavily for that like that Pepsi ad a while back.

I saw it a couple of weeks ago, and just thought it was a bit weird. Hadn't seen any backlash.

I see they've come out and apologised http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39921804

I've done a load of work with Leo Burnett, the agency. Imagine they've lost a big client there.

And agree with texters. Nobody orders fillet of fish.

I hadn't even seen it so just went on YouTube to have a look. Didn't really bother me although it's a bit OTT and I can see why some would be offended by it.

Seems a lot of fuss about nothing imo. Plays on emotions and has a heart warming end.

They might be annoying but I'm afraid they're not stupid. Time and again they are proven to work.

The public gets the adverts they deserve.

I like the Fillet O Fish - better than the burgers. But then I only rarely eat Mcdonalds at all. Not to mention that their items are microscopically small nowadays.

Not seen the ad.

Of course it does. The idea, usually, is to boost sales. If an ad boosts sales it's done its job. How is that stupid?
