Christmas Is Not A McDonald's Happy Meal!
I personally love Christmas.
It's a time of the year that really makes you value the important things in life; friends, family, food, intimacy and of course, alcohol.
When I saw this ad I was at my parent's house relaxing in the living room in front of an open fire. I had just eaten my favourite of all dinners, Nanny Tipping's Bean Feast. The family dog, a crazy golden Labrador name Kira was slumped by my side, pooped out from an afternoon walk into the mysterious Exmoor forest. I personally could not have been any happier...
But then I saw the ad below and my happiness was struck so far into the abyss that it was as if I had just taken part in a staring contest with the Chthonic Greek monster Medusa.
As I have said in the title of this post, Christmas is not a McDonald's happy meal!
Replacing the lyrics of a traditional Christmas carol with McDonald's orders is taking things too far!
Instead of serving baked apple pies on their menu someone should serve them up a good helping of humble pie!
Da da da da da, I'm not loving it!!!

A lot of advertisers play on the cheesy Christmas theme and as Sam above had mentioned "it’s almost so wrong its right!" Reactions like this is what makes campaigns work! McDonalds know that people aren’t going to be wanting a maccy ds for Christmas dinner so they bring out this awful jingle not just to be imbedded in people’s brains, but to get people talking and singing too. On the other hand I think that the campaign plays on the idea of people having free time and grabbing a McDonalds after Christmas shopping.
I have to say, I have never been a McDonalds fan and I’m not living it either ;)
you're right. great shout about how its aimed at x-mas shoppers. right, gotta shoot. I've got a craving for an orange mcflury!
