Fast Food Advertising: A Black, Soul-less Void

Monday, September 15, 2008

Thanks to Deadspin for the scoop. Jay Cutler, quarterback of the Denver Broncos, currently stars in commercials for McDonalds. Well, I probably would too if given the chance (and maybe donate my resulting paycheck to a worthy, health food related cause?), but not as a diabetic.

This isn't quite like a lung cancer patient pitching cigarettes, but it's close.

I'm not sure who engrages me more: the chicken who crossed the road, or the slaughterhouses advertising department on the other side.

PS - For the record, the McDonalds menu mentions "sugar" 157 times.
