F*cking McDonald's commercials...
Does anyone else feel the urge to jam sharp objects in their ears the second they hear one of these things start playing? That crappy "BA-DA-BA-BA-BAAAAA," Partridge-family-sounding opening followed by that stupid "I'm lovin' it" rap??? Well, I'm F*CKIN' HATING IT!!!

2. Me too
Don't know which of them makes me the sickest; the rappers or the kids. ARRRGGGGGHHHHHH!

I hate McDonalds just as a general principle; these ads don't improve my mood any.

3. I hate em too, but
what is funny is I have noticed since the mad cow scare all they have actually been advertising is their salads and veggie burgers, hahaha. I find that ironic because years and years ago the vegetarians asked/begged them to put veggie burgers on their menu and they wouldn't do it until their chain started tanking a couple of years ago. Burger King had already started their veggie menu. I bet that stupid McDonald's is now glad they have those veggie burgers to fall back on, maybe next time they will listen to someone else (not that they will).

4. I don't understand...
...this whole "I'm lovin' it" thing.

Sure, I love a good burger. But McDonald's does NOT make a good burger! McDonald's makes a SHIT burger!

How about "I'm in a real hurry, so for the sake of convenience, I'm choosing it?"

Sounds more honest to me.

7. Thanks for the link
I like the strained look on Ronald's face in the picture.

Or should I say "i'm lovin' it" :eyes:

6. I'm hatin' it...
and I really despise the new Microsoft Office commercials, too.

I wouldn't have any of those dorks working for me, if they get that excited over a new version of Excel.

And I hope the new version of Excel finally fixes the =product worksheet function so that it doesn't interpret a blank cell as a 1. That has been a "feature" of the last several iterations of Excel.

8. The mute button is your friend.
I never listen to commercials. They can't annoy you if you don't listen to them.

14. The music could be better -
but the one where a bunch of guys are gambling for fries and then one of them eats a handful is pretty disgusting. "Yum, frequently fondled french fries!"

16. Their first world-wide campaign
and nobody likes it - bummer. I applaud them for using a German advertising agency, but the campaign is not what I consider good.

One question: has it the same "McDonald's is good for your" angle it has here, with "healthy" burgers?
