I'm lovin it!

No wait, I'm not.

In the commercial it shows a elderly couple eating McDonalds and laughing and whatever. Reality is if they ate McDOnalds that much, they wouldnt be alive :P Let alone contributing to the advertising of their killer :lol:

My grandma is 87 and eats at McDonald's on a regular basis. She is actually healthy (she has regular check ups at the doctors office). And Caro, don't most people do whats convenient for them? You go to the store to buy your clothes instead of making them yourself with the cotton that you grew and harvested, don't you? (I have to get you back for that vegetarian traitor crack.) :x

I buy what I like. Even if it tends to be stuff people consider grundgy and punk/goth. I still have some old navy pants I like.

Edit: If you only buy what you think people expect your "stereotype" to wear or what your friends are wearing, then aren't you being fake? It's weird how they call the people that wear Abercrombie and Fitch or American Eagle and then turn around the next day and wear skater clothes "posers". If they are wearing what they like and doing what they like, how can they be posers? (Personally I can't stand A&F or American Eagle, either.. but I don't make fun of them for it.)

You only buy that shit coz it's convenient. It's convenient because they have whole marketing teams dedicated to pushing the product. So while you think that you're choosing, you're choosing between pre-defined parameters...I personally feel really good about recognising what my own wants are versus what has been implanted in my brain from advertising. It's fun to seek out products produced in an ethically responsible way, to buy from smaller, more responsible companies. Consider the new Mcdonalds in a third-world country - they still charge a dollar for a pop and fifty cents for a hamburger - the average person's weekly income. But to be seen on the street for that one glorious moment in time, with a coca-cola in your hand, the symbol of American wealth and affluence, might just make it worth it.

That's cool though, you're "lovin it". :lol:
