I loved this spot. It hit right at home reminding me of all the times I was either hungry, waiting for the bus, caught in the rain, or in a rush and needed a place to eat or shelter and McDonald's was there. Completely indiscriminate of the neighborhood, always where you need it. It made me connect with my true relationship with McDonald's which is beyond what I thought a commercial could do. brilliant.

eh?

i thought there was oodles of evidence that subliminal advertising was basically useless. unless you mean the boring kind pagancow is always on about re: branding making you associate the brand with a cherished memory

The commenter who thought this ad was positioning McDonald's as "the face of corporate kindness" is simply a moron. This ad was not about corporate or kindness. It was visually taking you back to all the times you drive by a McDonald's... it was about their ever-presentness.

And yes I loved this spot. It hit right at home reminding me of all the times I was either hungry, waiting for the bus, caught in the rain, or in a rush and needed a place to eat or shelter and McDonald's was there.

used to ride the greyhound all the time and the pittsburgh bus station was ALWAYS showing tnt and it was ALWAYS law and order. idk why they didn't show the news or the weather. maybe the janitors liked law and order

what they should really show is the pittsburgh pbs station that shows nothing but rick sebak documentaries, to get people pumped up about being in pittsburgh.

nationwide is in the news again this week for firing a woman because she asked to be able to pump breast milk at work. go look at their facebook for a laugh

btw the court ruled against her in the lawsuit because "men can lactate too," and the supreme court denied her appeal

better yet they didn't say "you're fired" they said "go be with your kids", which she did and was then fired for leaving work

she was so overworked that she was lactating uncontrollably and couldn't use the lactation room because they were "processing her paperwork"

there's like half a dozen nationwide employees "defending" their company on the facebook page by linking people to the full story, as though it somehow paints nationwide in a better light.

The soda brand's campaign, introduced during Sunday's Super Bowl, encouraged Twitter users to mark negative tweets with the #MakeItHappy hashtag. Then, the brand turned those words into cute art images using ASCII lettering code.

But Gawker soon noticed a tweet from Coke's Twitter account that had turned the "Fourteen Words" slogan of white nationalism into an ASCII dog.

"Even when the text is shaped like a dog, it is disconcerting to see Coca-Cola, the soda company, urge its social media followers to safeguard the existence and reproduction of white racists," wrote Gawker editor Max Read.

lollll
