Ever since I was a little kid, I never liked going to McDonald...there was just something about the way it appeared to me. Now that im older im starting to realize how fucked up McDonald's really is. Is it really necessary to have commercials with black people always singing for their food, smiling and crunking for a cheeseburger!? I hate the image so much. Now they have a commercial with a little black kid telling a McDonald employee about their college funds. I dont find this to be cute or amusing and I wish there was some sort of way I could just tell the CEO of Mcdonalds that I think this is borderline racism. I know its definitely stereotyping,and they've been doing this for years and they need to stop!! I dont know if they realize this,but im pretty sure a lot more people in the midwest eat more at mcdonalds than people in the city do. Think about it , majority of people outside big cities like NYC are predominantly white....and people who drive around everywhere in the midwest are more likely to stop off at a drive in like Mcdonalds. But no you will not see an obese white woman in a mini van scarfing down her fries because trust me you will hear about it and it would probably get taken off almost immediately
I think more black people need to realize what is going on here. I do not think Mcdonalds really likes to see us smile.I think they are mocking us as individuals,and I think if a certain amount of people were to send a list of complaints then it might actually do something. For example,when Supersize Me came out Mcdonalds added a few ''healthy'' options to their menu because they were so embarassed. Maybe if we put this more out in the open we could finally have someone else dancing for a Mcrib.
McDonald's disgusts me for so many reason and this is definitely one of them!!! I'm sure there is a way to at least write to the ppl who produce this advertising garbage, if u find it 1st let me know.
I am totally with you both. Though I occasionally jones for a Big Mac (I used to work at a McDonalds) the whole corporation is evil and they treat their employees like crap. I have always thought that they played on stereotypes and would do anything to get people with only one dollar in their pocket to spend that dollar in McDonalds. Grrrr.
