“Double cheeseburger? I’d hit it. I’m a dollar menu guy.”
-McDonalds ad

There’s stooping low in the marketing world, and then there’s this. Is McDonalds just that oblivious, or is this supposed to be funny? I guess they’re trying to market to American youth, but let’s be honest, this isn’t winning them any points.

I didn’t eat at the golden arches before. But as someone who decidedly isn’t “hitting it” right now, I resent things like this. Should the youth of America, in their collective moment of desparation, be running out of class, abandoning their sexually oppressive culture, sticking it to the man, embracing free love, and … heading down the street for some cheap cholesterol on a bun?

Sorry Ronnie. Double cheeseburgers are just unsexy.
