My husband and I have been known to make fun of McDonald's "I'm Loving It" ads. When we lived in North Carolina, our ads were full of phrases like "bling bling." Here in Texas, we're more likely to see an ad with a cowboy in it.I never realized, until I moved out of state, that they customized their ads to the market.
It makes sense, I just never thought that someone in Detroit may be watching a different ad than I do!
A new McDonald's is opening in India and comes complete with a new ad. Only problem? The ad scares the crap out of me.
It is supposed to look like a baby Ronald McDonald but really, it looks like the spawn of the clown from the movie "It." I think it is safe to say that I'm NOT "Loving it."

Cara said...I'm not sure what the point of the whole baby Ronald McDonald was. I mean at least usually, the ads make sence. I'm lovin' it means that you love the food right? Or at least something to that matter. I think it was a big miss with this ad.

Maranie said...ACK!!!
I'm at work and almost crapped myself in fear over this thing. Clowns freak me out anyhow. Yet ANOTHER reason I shall stay away from McDonalds....
Can't remember where I originally heard the phrase, but now "Can't sleep...clowns will eat me..." is going through my head.

roolalenska said...YIKES! It reminds me of something else . . . has anyone taken a look at Ronald McDonald's hair lately? He used to have the standard clown 'fro but now seems to be visiting the McDonaldland salon for regular blowouts. His hair now looks like it's got a fashionable shag cut. What was wrong with the clown hair anyway?
