Poor McDonald's commercial


McDonalds' is known to have either wonderful or dumb TV commercials. Its latest advertisement is about the new Everyday Savers Menu that consists of three new items, Honey Lemon Drumlets, Blueberry Sundae and Taro Pie. Unfortunately, the commercial is really a pain to my ears whenever I hear it on TV.

The rapper sounds like some rap star wannabe who is still nothing but just an amateur. Rap is supposed to make people not understand what the whole song is all about until they check out the lyrics. Unfortunately, the rapper in the video chants words so vividly that he should just read them out without the music.

Speaking of which, the lyrics are simply distasteful. The phrase "taro-fic investment" sounds extremely uncreative while "affordable gastronomy" is too ambitious for a commercial promoting cheaper food alternatives. If one really wants to save up and be thrifty, he wouldn't even consider going to a fast food restaurant in the first place.

Anyway, this is one of the classics which McDonald's had. It still remains as one of my favourites after so many years and commercials.
