Back in the early days of the List we used to have a lot of other contributors, but then they all quit or forgot how to be funny or died off like a sad herd of space dinosaurs from the moon. I think it was really because they were all jealous of my bench pressing max, which I would send them email updates about every other day. Our old buddy decided to come out of retirement to complain about the new McDonald's commercial. He complains real good most of the time, but apparently he's too good to use his real name on this shit and dick joke blog anymore. Take it away, anonymous friend:
Exactly how much annual revenue is going to be needed for McDonalds to step up their ad campaigns? How about cuarentybillion? Would that do it? features an odd looking duo who may be gymnasts, or dancers, or perhaps just asexual dwarves in great physical shape, seated at a table at a McDonalds performing this bizarre coordinated table slapping routine in between sipping lattes. The camera cuts to the foreground where a black girl looks on approvingly. [editor's note: that's racist] The duo stare blankly ahead during the routine like a pair of subhuman mole people on amphetamines. The result is so exceedingly weird that it becomes almost surreal. Boringly surreal. Like talking to Luke for more than three minutes.
Just how much money was spent on conceptualizing this? My guess is they didn't get their money's worth. This is hardly the first WTF moment in McDonalds commercials. I cannot accept this type of thing from a billion dollar corporation. I will not. Stand with me in demanding the return of Grimace and the Hamburglar and Shamrock shakes and all that is right in the world (of McDonalds). Write . Our voices will be heard.
UPDATE: Apparently the duo are Irish stepdancers which makes the whole thing all the more surreal since they're drinking lattes and not beer. I have nothing against Irish people but it probably wouldn't matter if I did because they'd be too drunk to notice. (Because Irish people drink a lot, you see?)
