McDonald's Goes Green with their St. Patrick's Day Stunt 'Shamrock Shake Spill'

Continuing the world-wide St. Patrick's Day tradition of turning everything green, the McDonald's Operators of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana have created the 'Shamrock Shake Spill'.  Maybe not as endearing to some due to the recent tragic oil spills of late, the gag is not lost on those of us who want to keep St. Patrick's Day one of the funnest days of the year.  Hey at least the spill is green.

McDonald's Gets Down to the Bear Necessities in New Ad 'Proud Papa'

This charming little McDonald's spot tells the common tale of a proud father celebrating his son's positive report card with some burgers and fries. Of course, the proud papa uses the bear necessities to get his kid a happy meal, as some unsuspecting tourists quickly find out. The commercial is a great example of the influence of the new Disney-esque anthropomorphizing of animals, where the grizzly bears are presented naturally but with human sensibility.
