What's the chances of this ad airing in Jesus-land USA?

I actually like that commercial, but there would be so much opposition from conservative "think of the children!" lobbyists to pressure McDonald's into removing the ad in the USA. I mean, how dare they imply that some young gay men occasionally share a meal of mostly crap with their fathers just like everyone else does?

I lol'd at the first comment on that video.

If the ad told you anything about McDonalds the company behind the ad campaign would be doing it wrong.

I watch the Gruen Transfer here in Australia and some of those ads are so unbelievable such as an ad that was pretty much a lone sperm in a huge chasm looking lost and it was an ad for a GPS device.

What does that tell you about the GPS device?

At least the sperm ad sounds funny. but hey, a lost sperm looking for an egg has some connection to what a GPS does.
