Between that and the "Double cheeseburger? I'D HIT HIT" ad, when McDonald's flubs an ad campaign, it flubs HARD.

Errr... that should read "I'D HIT IT," rather.

When I flub a post, I flub HARD.

This is why you use a moderated forum for gathering input about your product. An unmoderated forum is just Pandora's Box waiting to happen.

Just stop McDonalds. You don't need to advertise, everyone is aware of you. In fact nearly every time fast food is suggested your brand is named first. Stop trying to be hip and modern. Stick with your "urban" campaigns that walk the line between belittling minorities and being racist.

I don't get all the hate. I like McDonalds. It's fast, somewhat tasty, and easy to get on the way home. Sometimes, you just want something that tastes good and fills you up after a 14 hour day and a 2 hour drive before you have to go home and crawl in bed to do it all over again when you wake up.

Exactly. I rarely eat fast food... but I've had occasion to down a bunch of their cheeseburgers after a night of drinking. Or their McNuggets while waiting for an airplane.

When I was younger I was seriously the living "Super Size Me". Ate McDonalds 2 times a day, every day. Didn't gain weight, didn't get sick. My colesterol was slightly higher than it should have been.

I grew up and started appreciating real food. But please, its not THAT bad on occasion.

Quiet, you fool. If Farkers find out you enjoy the occasional McDonalds instead of dining on some obscure dish like seaweed wrapped platypus eggs soaked in owl placenta, you'll be taken to the Tower. That's why no one will know that I had a McGriddle this morning and it was....oh no...let GO......THEY GOT ME.......AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

How about McDonalds 365 Black, because black history should be 365 days a year, not just one month (and should come with McDonalds ads).

Or the time they tried to officially change the definition of McJob to "a job that is stimulating, rewarding ... and offers skills that last a lifetime."

I ate at McDonald's for the first time in a long time a year ago. Had some chicken and small fry.

It was good.

2 hours later... diarrhea hardcore. HARDCORE.

I dunno what they put in their food that everytime I eat there it's like a colon cleaning, but it's really disturbing.

Yeah. I'll admit that I love their breakfast sammiches. Their coffee is pretty good as well. I can't tell you how pissed off I get when I roll up after sleeping in and I've missed the breakfast menu by 15 minutes. Makes me wanna go William Foster on their asses.

it's the lack of consistent quality. If they can't get fries and a burger right I'm not eating there - and I haven't since last century.

I have absurdly high cholesterol, so I cut fast food completely from my diet. After a few years I broke down and decided to get something from McDonalds. I was shocked at how disgusting it was! I remembered it being sorta tasty, but now it makes me completely sick. I must have stopped producing the enzymes necessary to digest it, or something.

It's weird that there is food out there that you have to build a tolerance to.

That's pretty much all food. If you eat something unusual your body doesn't deal with it as well as something you eat all the time. Long time vegans have bad reactions to eating meat. Regular exposure to dairy can mitigate or remove lactose intolerance in some people. Cultures that eat a lot of beans don't have the gassy problems most other people have. I spent a long time not knowing cabbages give some people gas. I never knew because I eat from that family all the time.

I remember hearing somewhere that part of the reason he was so affected was that he had a vegan girlfriend, and so he was basically going from one extreme to the other.

Diet has little to do with cholesterol unless it's already in normal range. Diet influences about 20-30 points, which is pretty significant if you have slightly elevated. For those of us with extremely high cholesterol dietary effect is negligible.

/Cholesterol in the upper-mid 300's.
//You couldn't get that high even if you ate lard every single meal.
///I don't eat much fast food.
//Low triglycerides, so I'm sitting pretty right now.
