This is strange. I was checking out the 365black campaign and it shows a picture of the commmercial playing in quiktime but you can only watch it in windows media or real player.
 
Why is McD's targeting minorities in an obviously racist fashion?

"Here's our asians marketing plan. Here's our blacks marketing plan. Here's our hispanic marketing plan."

WTF? I had hoped that we as a nation had gotten past this. Now we just need black sports leagues again. :roll:
 
i saw this a few months ago... when i was looking into the stupid black marketing gimmick for a research paper

hahahha

i was rotflmao.
 
Does anybody remember the McD's commercial to the tune of Carl Douglas' Kungfu Fighting? Ronald McDonald and crew were all Karate chopping. I believe the commercial came after Disney's Mulan was aired. Anyway, the commercial came and went so fast that I believe they pulled the plug on it due to it playing on bad asian stereotype.

Kathryn Kimura Mlsna still remembers the experience that transformed her from a child into an adult. She was 10 years old. In her family, which ate often at McDonald's®, her parents typically placed the order and carried the food to the table.

"So, one day, I started to tell my parents what I wanted for lunch. But, instead of following past practice, they announced that I could take up the family's order myself. What a rite of passage!"

You have to be kidding..........

This is just really, really, sad.

"I truly became a women when I went to McDonald's to fetch our ritual happy meal."

Well, the McDonald's Trivia link is worthwhile:

Ronald McDonald is "Donald McDonald?" in Japan because it makes pronunciation easier for the Japanese. In Singapore he's known as "Uncle McDonald."

Donald McDonald? BWHAAHAAAHAAHAA!! 😀:laugh:

Wait wait wait, what if they named him "Lonald McDonald"? 😉😀

<-"azn" 🙂roll😉
 
So no one have pointed out to me what in particular was offensive about the site.
Amusing, I agree.....Offensive, tell me why.
