Gay McDonald's ad in France

Stormsingersays...

Definitely not an American commercial...by the time we're "free" enough to show such commercials, I'm sure I'll be long dead.

Hooray for this fucking retarded country of mine.

@Stormsinger. Whether or not a corporate commercial plays in a country has little to do with a its level of freedom, but more about social attitudes toward its subject matter, I'd conclude.

Though, if you want to talk about who controls what can be broadcasted in this "free" country, the FCC is the government organization that regulates that and keeps the naughty impurities from our tvs.

Oh I'm fully aware of the legal "keeper of the innocence". And I admit to stretching the popular definition of freedom a bit. But I have to say that I consider freedom to be more than just the legal environment...social attitudes and restrictions are definitely part of that nebulous term, as far as I'm concerned. Especially when they act as censors on what is allowed to be aired by the media. Frankly, the FCC is unlikely to make waves about this type of commercial...but we're still too socially backwards to let a company show it, no matter how amusing it is.

So does eating M'ds make you gay? I don't understand what the goal of this ad is persay.


Nah, eating M'ds just makes you fat. I think the "goal" is to say "Look how tolerant we are! We have gay people in our restaurants!"

Or maybe it's "If you want to come out to your Dad, why not do it in a public place so he doesn't smack you around like a little bitch?"

its more or less pandering to a specified community in the social system. the only goal of most commercials is to catch the viewer and molest their mind with psychosomatic impulses injected into the grey matter through teh senses.

oh and eating mc'ds doesn't make you fat, its when you are un edjumacated about basic personal health and how the body works that you get fat off of eating at fast food. Moderation or burning off what you eat is the key. Flat fact most assholes don't know this simple knowledge and are lazy. Don't blame the corporation, blame the idiot lazy fat fucks who thinks big macs and fries are a healthy daily alternative to home cooked non processed meals.

Truckchasesays...

So McDonalds is liberal now? :-/

These guys would show someone watching Nascar and beating their dog (which might work in some places) if it sold more Big Macs. While it's nice that we're in a place culturally that facilitates this as a message that will move product, don't think that they care about you.
