You know you’re in trouble when even photoshop can’t disguise that your sandwich is nothing but grease and gristle.
Mac Donalds seem to have gone down the minimalist advertising route of late. It’s something that catches every brand once in a while with the most notable being tesco. They stick their products on a white background, no fuss, and simply say buy me. What differs between Tesco’s approach and Mac Donald’s is that Tesco is wise enough to leave their products in their boxes. Grease and gristly meat is hard to detect past a picture of a happy family on the front, gleefully shovelling said product into their mouths whilst having an un-naturally good time about the whole thing. With mac Donald’s you get to see a product you already know about, but much bigger and better prepared than you’ve ever had them before. There was a thing like this in the war you know; they had a good name for it too. Propaganda. Are we supposed to be convinced that you’ve turned yourself around, Mac, since the 80′s and started giving a shit about your food? Well I’m not buying it. Not until you grow some god damn balls and use that poster I made for you with a picture of a cow and the words “in a bun” written after it. I’m telling you that shit will sell! Well whatever man, see if I care.

Good to see that one of the worlds most used rail systems is supporting the use of Windows 2000. Not sure this advert is going to be very effective though…I’m not even sure it’s still for sale.
Sort it out London underground, this screen was like this for at least half an hour! How long does it take to open the movie files again or, I don’t know- turn it off?!
The summer is a letdown because you ask too much of it. Three consecutive days of clement weather is too much pressure to put on this country.
Watermelons are only good when you can buy them in slices. Buying a whole watermelon and storing it in your fridge will only lead to its eventual demise at the hands of decomposition, because it is so daunting an item due to its sheer volume that you’ll never actually make the first move and cut off a piece.
Wasps really don’t give a shit about you and will ignore you if you don’t flap about. They will however try and swim in your Champagne. This is just a fact. Are you telling me that if there was a vat of bubbly in your back garden then you wouldn’t take a swim in it? C’mon.
Pigeons are fine. They aren’t doing you any harm and they are essentially working as unpaid volunteers for local council’s by cleaning up your food that you threw on the floor. Stop calling them rats with wings. Every time you say that it makes me think of actual rats with actual wings and that is terrifying because they are so much bigger in my imagination then they are in real life.
Tomato ketchup is boring and Brown Sauce is loads better, so there.
Our version of this advert is quite different but of course, in the UK, we’re not all murderers and bread thieves. Who says advertising tars everyone with the same brush?
