McDonalds advert - let the outrage flow...

My Dad died when I was 8 (I am now 27). I actually quite liked the advert, it was quite touching, and reminded me of my Mum referencing my Dad through things I did similar to him.

People really need to get a life though, you can't do anything these days without people getting offended. If you don't like it, go an make a cup of tea whilst the advert is on...
 
I can't believe people actually think that this advert is implying a burger makes everything alright!

It's just a light hearted look at things, they are not claiming Maccy D's cures your gried for a lost parent.

So what do the great and good of GD make of this - clever marketing or typical crass insensitivity by evil corporation seeking to manipulate our emotions?

Bit of both, but more saddened by their implication that the only thing connecting our families that's worth a toss is a some ***** menu item from some **** restaurant. I'd go so far as to say McDonalds are getting seriously desperate and clutching at straws, while abysmally failing to rip-off the Yellow Pages adverts.

Optional follow on question: Which fast food offering reminds you of a deceased relative/loved one?

Bizzarre twist: My dad was a trucker for Golden West™, who deliver the food to McDonalds restaurants, so I actually do think of him whenever I pass a McDrive Thru™ and the like... but then, I also think of him when I smell Brut, see a CB Radio, hear mention of Wolverhampton Wanderers and Skol lager, hear a Wolves accent, polish my 'going out' shoes, and any number of other things... I also have the same nickname as him, so there's always that.
