McDonald’s shortest-lived ad campaign ever?

You may have seen some of McDonald’s’ (where does the apostrophe go there?) ads in their So good, it’s almost embarassing campaign. Not only does the tagline itself not make sense, but the ads were downright bizarre.

Exhibit A: The ad below with the woman who either looks high on glue fumes, or just plain dead.

Special thanks to Yahoo Mail for bringing this ad to my attention.

    Especially the TV ads were weird with the zealous lady hunkering down on the sandwich with ranch dripping down her chin, the strange sexual analogy leading the sandwich to be nicknamed “chicken ranch BLO” instead of “chicken ranch BLT”.

    Amazing. I would have clicked the ad in hopes they’d make more of them.
