McDonalds Commercials

does it bother anyone else that McDonalds commercials feature adds that stress cheap cheap cheap menues while only featureing minorities as actors, mainly black, (for instance a group of black guys cant afford gas but they can afford McDonalds). Or they are targeting white kids with there happy meals that seem to have everything.

just a thought

nope...they only show fat white guys for KFC commercials...

Nope not at all.. personally I think Mccy Ds should adopt a more succesful and appealing advertising policy, such as the one Abercrombie and Fitch (see http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...threadid=148357 for examples). I want to see sexy nude people when I think of McDonalds, it would seem so much more appealing to eat.

they just need to talk with A&F's ad campaign then, and they'd be mint!

yeah...what's up with that anyway? i know when i try to sell clothes i advertise people not wearing any...

But Yoepus..once again you have been eating too much of your mustard.

I would not ever want to see pictures of the average McDonald's customer without clothes on.

The McD's ad campaign sucks....at least my old roomate can say he had nothing to do with it since his agency lost the McDonald's contract last summer.


MrS

I've never really given it a great deal of thought, coz Burger King's are better anyway!!

Some Mackey D adverts are class though. That one where they gave money-saving tips in the form of carpet-shoe-things

Instead of buying a whole brand new carpet, simply purchase two small sample pieces, and attach them to your feet, giving you that warm, comfy feeling all over the house.

In review in recent events, maybe McDonals should tell us, with sexy naked people no doubt, how they hate Canada and do not buy or deal with any cows from Canadain origin.

I can see why you think there's this "cool to be black" trend, but I see it in different ways. One that annoys me most is the new AOL 9.0 commercial with the couple's fish made up of AOL discs. Then Snoop Dogg makes a cameo appearance :P

Back off, I love that comercial.

Seriouslly though it is "cool to be black" so many of us whities try to emulate the black community that doing a comcercial with all black people targets two entierly diffrent demographics.

I think as long as McDonald's doesn't introduce a special Spinal Burger or a Downed Cow Quarter Pounder, then they'll avoid the Mad Cow scare...

oh yeah i love this new campaign mcdonalds is doing with their "new all white meat chicken nuggets!"

what the f were they before!?!?

"dark" meat (feet, veins,snouts, entrails) about 80% flour/soy/filling and the breading mmm mmm mmm

Why do you think MCD never made a microwaveable take home product, they would have to list the ingredients...almost as scary as the ingredients listed on a slimjim

Reckon Mad Cow Brain McPudding woudn't cut it either.
Lol!

McDonald's is purposely targetting the African American community in their commercials... I was actually pondering this the other day... My guess is they feel that the bulk of their customers are African-American... Personally (being from whitesville i.e. Westfield) when I think of McDonald's i think of stupid soccer mom's in their ugly ass green minivan's with their annoying ass kids sitting in line at the drive-thru...

I agree 100% I was in a MCD in philly the other day and I asked for BBQ Sauce. This MCD was not in the best of areas, but it wasn't the worst either. They wanted 30 cents for each pack of bbq sauce. I don't mind paying 30 cents, but when I know if I go to the MCD by me they give them away for free. Now, I don't know if this is a MCD policy to charge for bbq sauce in poorer urban areas and not charge in more affluent suburban areas, but to me, its totally fucked

whoah that is fucked... its weird... the richer and more affluent you are the less things you have to pay... Lil Kim brags about how she gets Versace for free... she gets so much money she could buy a couple of those stores out... why does she get that stuff for free... (besides the obvious marketing reasons) it just stinks... not that I want Versace, god knows id never wear but still...

as the saying goes "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer" The gap has increased steadily every year and as companies keep catering to the more affluent people the trend will continue. I doubt its a MCD decision seeing as it is a franchise and each is individually owned, but there def. is a growing trend in big business to racially profile and exploit certain economic classes

yeah it is a franchise, but as part of the contract with the owners it can "influence" business decisions at local restaurants... i won't assume anything, but either way you are right..

i dont think they are exploiting african americans, they are just going along with the cool to be black trend. There isn't a single commercial or a TV show without a black man on it now.
Nike has a commercial where bernie mac pretends to be preaching about basketball

another example is pop music, pop music back around 1999 was real POP music, now pop music is R&B even justin timberlake pretends to be R&B now same with britney spears
before it was backstreet boys,nsync, 98 degrees type of pop
