Okay. I did not just see - well, mostly hear - a McDonald's commercial using a black couple to advertise a new drink called a MULATTE.

That's supercreepy, McD's, and if I hadn't more or less boycotted your crap already (or boycotted the fries, at least, and nothing else on the menu makes sense without the fries), then I would right now. As it is, this has cemented me desire to never step inside one of your stores ever again. PS, I am properly ashamed that I ever worked at one.

Edit: I have been informed by j_crew_guy that it's Dairy Queen and spelled "moolatte." My basic point still stands. It is still creepy. And I am still ashamed I worked at McDonald's.

I suppose we should consider ourselves lucky that it wasn't a mixed race couple. Seriously, McDonalds, what were you thinking?

[catslash.livejournal.com]

Seriously. And I thought "fruit buzz" was retarded advertising.

Don't look now, but Jesus has a shot at hitting for the cycle.

[j-crew-guy.livejournal.com]

It's Dairy Queen and spelled "Moolatte".

I'm ashamed for knowing both of these things.

[catslash.livejournal.com]

Okay. BUT STILL.

Plus, that's a terrible drink name period.

What? I SAID JESUS. Besides, I waited for the announcers.

The Fates aren't stupid, you know. But as long as the announcers did it first, you're clear. *g*

Stupid announcers. *mutter*frigginwalk*mutter*

Man. It's the Wakes, Damon and Youk show tonight.

[catslash.livejournal.com]

I know. I love when Youk plays, I wish he could play more often.

[maggiesox.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but that usually means Mueller is sitting, and Mueller would have made the defensive play Youk muffed earlier. I suppose that the monster hitting Youks has done tonight makes up for it, though.

Heh. I suppose, if we're going to be lenient.

[maggiesox.livejournal.com]

A single, double and HR, and I'll be lenient.

[j-crew-guy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I KNOW.

Fortunately, avoiding Dairy Queen is fairly easy around here. Not so much with McDonald's. But their use of "Fruit Buzz" makes it easier.

[catslash.livejournal.com]

Seriously. WTF is a "fruit buzz?" What does that even mean? The salad itself sounds enticing, and I might be inclined to try it, but that terrible ad campaign has driven me away.

[j-crew-guy.livejournal.com]

I have no idea what a "fruit buzz" is. The way the ad campaign makes it sound/look, it's akin to hallucinating in some way. Which... not what I'm looking for in a salad.
