Timber! for Timberlake?

Looks like McDonald's has to make the same choice the NFL made: families or freaks?

[Behind Liberal Lines]

bump for later

[stuartcr]

I think the choice is more like...revenue or less revenue

[freeangel]

Please make you feelings known to mcdonalds corp--for whatever good it does.

[dfwgator]

McDonalds needs to get rid of that stupid "hip-hop" I'm Lovin' It ad campaign.

[Robe]

Maybe they haven't really heard from us yet

McDonald's U.S. Marketing/Promotion/Advertising

[pointsal]

okay, the next event is the "pro" bowl...is that to be followed with the gay bowl?

[niteowl77]

Like most post-modern corporations, they will choose the freaks, because they know that the families will patronize them anyway (being either too ignorant to see that they fund their enemies in doing so, or having no morally superior alternatives). Since the freaks are now part of the corporate family anyway (entertainment and sports are liberally sprinkled with freaks on the surface, but guys with suits fester under the crust), they don't have too much to worry about.

Win-win for the oligarchs (again).

I emailed McD's this morning. Maybe we need to keep emailing them for a week to get them to dump the trash. Adults go to McD's too. I'd think they would cater to all age groups.

Win-win for the oligarchs (again).

For heaven's sake! This is all a Masonic plot.

[Keen-Minded]

If McDonald's doesn't take a stand against Timberlake and fire him...it's Burger King for me and my family!

[jtminton]

They heard from me already!

[mbynack]

I sent them an e-mail telling them why I would not longer patronize McDonalds as long as Timberlake is a spokeperson. I doubt that it will do much good because most of us aren't in their target demographic.

[ImpBill]

Wonder what Micky Dee's will say now that Janet has revealed that the thing was planned? More than likely nothing. The indignation of many will fall short of hitting the coarsened values of the majority in this nation, sadly.

[apackof2]

Two words: Burger King

[MizSterious]

Judging from their "sounds of the ghetto" ad campaign, I think they've already chosen: freaks. (Ghetto-burger, anyone? ewww...)

[daylate-dollarshort]

"Wonder what Micky Dee's will say now that Janet has revealed that the thing was planned?" That's too easy...nothing....but look for a new line of Janet Jackson nipple ornaments offered in McDonald's Happy Meals shortly.......

Sunday's Super Bowl gaffe

Gaffe???

My dictionary defines gaffe as "a social or diplomatic blunder" .... hardly what I would call that cheap, tawdry incident on Sunday nor the sleaze that preceded the finale in the half-time show.

[Semi Civil Servant]

I can't imagine why McDonalds wouldn't want a man who simulated a sexual assault on national TV as one of their spokespersons. (/sarcasm)

[Moleman]

The incident is blown out of proportion- that said Timberlake is a no talent ass.
