Come as you are

This makes me want to go and have a Big Mac. Actually, the Angus burgers are much better.

This is a charming ad from France for McDonald's. Despite it airing only in France, this YouTube video had gotten well over a million views already (add one for you!) and is growing as word gets out by leaps and bounds. All is not sunshine, lollipops and rainbow-pooping unicorns, as the religious crazies, their right wing enablers (and their gay Quislings) are mounting campaigns against this ad over here. Same as it ever was.

If what I'm seeing of the US Supreme court in recent rulings, we might have our day eventually and the right wingers etc can then go to hell.

Cool!

Of course, I read "Angus burger" without the first g....

It is cute, but it almost made me sniffle. It is very sensitive. I think that presenting our case like that commercial has will go far in winning the hearts of the masses.

I watched it twice...

That's amazingly cool, especially for McDonalds.

Had I known about this last week I would have made an effort to eat at one of the many McDonald's there in Paris. Just to show my support.

That is one of the most charming adverts I've seen in years...and I work in the industry so see a lot of them. Even more impressed that it's come from McDonald's... Thanks for sharing :)

I love how it let's us in on the young man's life story a bit, and the note of acceptance from the big M. And it is understated to the point of being almost subtle.

Could easily have come from a classic French movie. Merci bien.
