I HATE those new McDonalds commercials.. Why do they have to "rap" to sell hamburgers.. I mean, dont get me wrong, I like some rap music.. But I find it so degrading that they feel they need to "rap" to us (the younger generation) to get us to buy their food. I feel like they are talking down to me every time I hear that crap..

BAH!!!!!!

Ok sorry for the rant..

Same here.. "I'm HATING it" [img]smile.gif[/img]

See, McDonalds is dying. Poor service, poor food--when you get a hamburger, it's smashed like someone SAT on the freaking thing. One time, I went in with it smashed, asked for the Manager, and showed him the smashed crap, and said "This is NOT what it looks like on TV, or up there (pointing at their picutures of food). I told them I want my money back, and that is the last time I will go there.

I hate fastfood these days. It's 100% grease. Powershakes are better.

You know McDonalds is actually really good in Sweden [img]smile.gif[/img]
Nothing crushed or smashed and nice people by the counter.

edit:I hate the commercial though specially the part when the woman slams the door in the mans face, it seems to want to attract those "Im a independant woman and can leave him whenever I want types" (some irony to this post,but only a little)

True enough, fast food today bites big time. McDonalds breakfasts aren't half bad though. Burger King is nasty all around. And, yes, the commercials stink horribly.

Ich liebe es!

I never went to McDonalds anymore since I found a hair in my burger, boy did I cause a ruckus there. And something else: the employees at Mcdonalds are so bad because they do not want to become employee of the month: who would want his picture spread out all over a mc's restaurant? I wouldn't!!

Hey don't talk bad about burger king...
They are actually pretty good here in Denmark...
And finally; that McD commercial must be Satans gift to humankind, it is really bad. It is at an even lower level than badly produced lady shawer commercials, and that is BAD!!!
