I always have to change the channel when McDonalds or Sprite commercials come on. They are so fucking stupid, and they don't make me want to eat mcdonalds or drink sprite.

Sprite- For Jackasses?
That little 'thirst' doll makes me want to vomit. Maybe instead of sitting on that stoop talking about Sprite, he and his posse should go get jobs and learn how to speak proper english.

McDonalds- Are you poor and uneducated? Come eat our food!
"i'm lovin it" Christ, how obnoxious is that. At least offer me
a properly punctuated slogan. Also, who the fuck plays basketball on rollerblades? That one is the worst. Oh shit, I'm so tired from playing basketball on rollerblades, I think I'll stuff a greasy Big Mac down my throat. What the fuck.

Haha. You got a point.

I hate to say this, but it seems from your post that you are quickly seperting from the mass that advertisers gear themselves toward. Another suggestion is that youre getting old. Youre moving away from the groupthat companies target and are becoming cynical, ready to turn against the medium like a former generation turned against their parents and governments...

The majority of advertising (not only in America) never has and never will make any sense (especially the fast food industries'). But hey, someone's buying it!

hahahaha...that sprite commercial is so old...do they still show that one?

well they do that because usually poor and uneducated people can’t exactly afford nicer restaurants, so they cater to that class of people. it’s a typical marketing strategy.

i know i will always have a weakness for mickie d's best french fries ever.

but yea, I noticed that the other day too. Sprite commercials especially seem to cater to African Americans. it’s weird because when I worked as a waitress at this steak house a while ago, I noticed that whenever I had black people at my table, they ALWAYS ordered sprite...well at least 90% of the time. I dunno why...

Yeah Americans

We get "I'm lovin it" too. And one of those ads definetly rips of Daft Punk. Unless they paid them to do their own "I'm lovin it" remix. Which wouldn't surprise me

i didn't say anything about what i THOUGHT about people who ordered sprite...it was just an observation when i worked there
