It was a McDonald&#8217;s commercial where some guy\u2014I mean some idiot\u2014is talking about how he has since childhood dreamed of being a sandwich-board guy for McDonald&#8217;s. As if that is not bad enough, he has placed a sandwich-board on his infant in the crib saying that he intends the same path for his child.<\/p>\n<p>?!?!<\/p>\n<p>Isn&#8217;t it bad enough that this guy aspires to being some dolt who stands around in the street wearing a couple of pieces of sheet wood advertising for McDonald&#8217;s? Did they really need to make the commercial so that he dooms his child to the same fate? I mean come on! What kind of person would want that for their child. Normal people dream of their child being a doctor, astronaut, president, this guy wants his kid to be an ad-monkey.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t the first stupid McDonald&#8217;s commercial, besides the lame R&amp;B; campaign that McDonald&#8217;s has been running for the past year in an attempt to get at the &#8220;ghetto&#8221; market\u2014you know the ones, where people are rapping and stuff with that annoying &#8220;I&#8217;m Loving It&#8221; jingle\u2014they have done similar stupid ads. There was one where they were showing a bunch of employees talking about how happy they are working at McDonald&#8217;s. One woman says that she has been working at McDonald&#8217;s for over 30 years. Thirty years!<\/p>\n<p>What kind of moron thinks up these ads? Nobody wants to think that they may have to end up working at McDonald&#8217;s flipping burgers, getting burned by oil, earning minimum wage, and hating their lives for 30 years. Jobs at McDonald&#8217;s are transitory, they are supposed to be temporary; if you stay at McDonald&#8217;s for an extended period then there is something wrong and you should take stock of your life and try to figure out what went wrong.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tagcloud\"><a href=\"https:\/\/synetech.ddns.net\/blogs\/rantinions\/tag\/commercials\/\" rel=\"tag\">Commercials<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/synetech.ddns.net\/blogs\/rantinions\/tag\/television\/\" rel=\"tag\">Television<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just saw the stupidest commercial in a long time.
