McDonald's ad helps you look like a jackass
This interactive McDonald's billboard is certainly entertaining the tourists in Piccadilly Circus, and honestly, I'm a little miffed that Micky D's never does anything like this over here in America. Then again, you don't need fancy advertising when your franchises are roughly 50 feet from each other. And it's nice that England is getting special treatment, giving that McDonald's ranks fairly high on the culinary meter there. —Posted by David Kiefaber |

There are only a few places where an ad like this would work (Times Square in NY is one) since you need to find a place where people are actually taking pictures of billboards, but it's a great idea, and one that will definitely get the ads seen by more than just those standing in front of them.

It's Macky D's (Mc is a shortened form of Mac) and it's "given that" you imbecile.

We wouldn't put up with that kinda bullshit in America.

I actually think that they did a great job with this.

This was such a fantastic idea from McDonalds. Talk about getting your customers involved!! I can't decide how well this type of Ad would do here in the US but I wouldn't see why it wouldn't work! Anyways, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did, but it still won't get me to eat there unless I'm REALLY hungry...

Hahahaha! Macky D's? And then you throw out "imbecile?" Look it up on the internet or ask around before you lay down the cartoon villian tough-talk. It's Mickey D's.
