Sprouted-grain, gluten-free bread? All-organic vegetables, kale instead of lettuce. Grass-fed-only beef? A cheese from Italy or France that had a super-pretentious name?


Actual real meat is replaced by the quinoa burger.

I don't understand who the target audience is for this commercial. The "actors" are all dressed like hipsters, but the song... that awful awful song... it's more country than anything. It sounds like a local radio ad for a bait shop.

I only recently became aware that this ad was, in fact, a McDonald's ad. It was when I read this thread. The ad itself has utterly failed to tell me anything. I can think of the first couple jingle lines and I can picture legs and a couch, then it fades out like someone yanked the TV plug out of the wall. Apparently this Red Couch business is some sort of trigger that causes me to black out for several hours. Needless to say, I do not approve. Mostly because it's completely ineffective as an advertisement in my specific demo (people who black out when the ad is played), but also because I'm not %100 sure what I'm up to during the missing time and this kind of bugs me.

We got a hipster bonfire!  Don't ask me why.  Do you really need a reason to watch 'em fry?
