winnie&bezza Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) Has anyone else seen the new advert with the young boy and his mum talking about the dad who must of died. Stooping low on that one. We thought it was going to be a life insurance ad or a serious subject. Quite shocking.

kyska Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 I thought the same, very odd advert. I found a charity advert suggesting people should put the said charity in their will, nauseating, I complained. To be fair the advertising standards people replied, but there wasn't enough complaints to take it further. It galls me, it was a cancer charity, so aimed at very vulnerable people.

Lloyd90 Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Why are we not allowed to put links for McDonald's or skittles adverts? I think your just not supposed to post ads that are the same (but competition) to people who pay to advertise on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 The advert in question is a "not safe for work" one which we don't want placed on here. A quick Google will reveal why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wandringstar Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 I love the product, its always been a weakness. My dad spent years slagging off mcd, he wouldn't entertain one, one day he had a mac and chips, he loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

four-wheel-drive Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 I do try to avoid seeing as many adverts as I can by recording programs not on the good old BBC then I can skip through them but I have to admit that I did see this add the other day I must say that I was not concentrating on what was going on but when it said Mc Donalds at the end I thought that it was a strange add and I do not understand why they would put something like that on.

winnie&bezza Posted May 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Just seen on the BBC that McDonalds have apologised after countless complaints about the ad. I had to laugh at their reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39TDS Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Didn't find the advert offensive but did ask the missus how they thought that would make anyone rush out to buy a burger. The very sad fact that struck me was that McD's is full of single fathers on a Sunday taking their kids out cos that's the only time they get to see them, and there they are making an ad about a dead father.
