...cuz nothing gets me hungry like hearing "new sensation" by INXS...uh, thinking about someone hanging themselves while engaged in autoerotic asphyxiation says fast food???

Or that Spice Girls song. Only five years too late.
At least their "McMania" commercial has clips from THE BEASTMASTER.
Man, I thought it was just me.
yeah. spice girls is a weird one too. i figured at least the spice girls was aimed at the then pre-teen fans who are no beginning to drive and make money...
...but who is md's aiming at with the INXS ads?
i will forever associate mcdonald's with tragic popstar death.
they should combine "devil inside" with their smiles campaign for truly chilling effect. ronald mcdonald is the devil inside. freakout gen y and z instead of just x.
(these commercials are like the bizarro version of the musical BK commercials.)

personally i think ad agency rats love sneaking stuff like this by ignorant execs. it gives them something to do at their parties besides talking about "sex and the city" and how much they love moby, italian furniture, furby, and the lighting in david fincher movies as applied to starburst ads.
And who are they trying to fool with those "Restaurant Of The Damned" skits? A super happy family walks in and exuberantly orders food. Then the person behind the counter is an immpecably neat and equally exuberant automaton. Funny, every McD's worker I've ever seen is a greasy teenager that takes their frustration over making $2.15 an hour after taxes out on the customer, who doesn't seem to be too happy to be there, either.
Explains all those canniable diner flicks, don't it? Some kind of wet dream for a frustrated food service worker, i'd wager. "I'll show them! I'LL SHOW THEM ALL! Ya want fries with that? I'll give ya fries, i'll fry you, ya pus bag! Bwahahahahaha!" Ahem....excuse me, while i order Dr. F's UnHappy meals.
