Yeah baby
What's the deal with the new McDonald's radio advertisements? For about the past year, they've been runnings ads that are thinly disguised as radio-friendly pop and urban songs.
They have a new one that sounds like Barry White, and it ends with an interesting come-on to the ladies in the house who want to down an Egg McMuffin: "Studies show that Egg McMuffins and yogurt parfaits have similar effects." Well... What the heck? I mean, maybe egg does make your skin healthy, but is the kind of person that worried about your skin actually go to McDonald's? The comical part to me is how this did not flow at all with the rest of the ad, and seemed like it was tacked on at the end. You know... "Hey, this thing tastes great and it's only 99 cents for a limited time. By the way, it'll make your skin look better." Okaaaaaay!
