but i mean. all of it lol. the whole thing. mcdonalds can 'tell it' cause it knows 'whats happenin here?' mcdonalds has people feeling 'real' and 'alive?' truth? joy? hope? dreams? future? love?
you want fries w that?
i kinda think irl mcdonalds is the antithesis of all of those things, at the expense of those depicted at the ad
but i kinda already think ronald and them are the devil, so maybe i should just bow out of this one
-Ain't too many brothers out there doin graf work like that anymore...kinda doesn't fit who we are currently.
- Marvin Gaye's music doesn't fit either...should've kept the music consistent w/ the visual theme which I believe is more hip hop than old school soul classic.
-nobody celebrates eating or getting McDonalds like that...especially "urban graffiti writing" youth.
-McD lightweight just co-signed vandalism too

16. "Who came up with the concept?" In response to Reply # 0
McD's has been putting out these Calvin-esque commercials targeting the black community (with a "we don't mind that you're the criminal element" type sentiment) since the 80's. I believe they are deeply rooted in the community but has there ever been a commercial that finds a way to focus on the minority franchised McDs that are in "the community"?
The commercial was colorful, the sentiment was nice, but I don't attribute that level of positivity or community uplift to McDonalds. Largely because they put out these hoodtastic commercials year after year. There is (was) a high percentage of minority employment all the way up to the corporate level. Ronald McDonald House offers scholarships in the community to high school seniors, in addition to the Ronald McDonald houses built to house the families of sick children for free. They sponsor local sports teams. It would be nice to see how they are a part of the community instead of the minorities are shiftless goodhearted criminals, but we love them anyway.
