Giant napkin dispenser promotes giant burgers, murders trees

giantpaper.jpg

McDonald's decided that promoting its disgustingly large Big 'N' Juicy burger with equally giant napkin dispensers would be a good idea. After all, who wouldn't want to follow up eating a massive artery clogging hunk of meat by killing a few trees in one easy blow? The campaign was the brainchild of the DDB agency in Sweden, and as far as we can tell these advertisements are only in Swedish McD's (where apparently they have vast quantities of giant messy burger eaters...who knew?).

We´re really not as "in the picture" as much as the U.S.A is right now...

What a surprise - an ad agency (hired by McDirty) without a shred of integrity?
