Here's an Idea: Give that Filet-o-Sanity back

Here’s an Idea is an occasional segment on Duo Citizenship dedicated to bringing good ideas to the for front and making our crappy world a little better.
Here’s an Idea: If you are a multi-national multi-billion dollar corporation that makes all of it’s money on destroying the physical health of the general public with trans-fats, you aren’t allowed to destroy their mental health with your advertising. And I thought the original singing fish on a wall stuff was awful, but every time this commercial comes on the air, I want to send a baseball bat through the tube of my television.
Hasn’t McDonald’s done enough to destroy society? They are the ones, along with Burger King, Wendy’s, Jack in the Box, and Carl’s Jr., who are destroying our country. Everyone in America is so fat, that the Germans and the Japanese have to make special editions of their cars so that we can fit in them. Baseball parks and Football stadiums across the country have to install new seats so that we can fit in them.
I’ll give McDonald’s one thing. They definitely caught their target audience in this commercial. A big fat bearded guy sitting on a weightlifting bench that he clearly never uses in a garage downing a full bag of fast food? Yeah, that is some smart marketing there Micky D’s. The next thing you know, they’ll be putting pictures of greasy long haired teenagers on their job application pamphlets. Preferably of the kid wiping his nose on a burger bun.
I’ll give them a point for some honest advertising, but they are still in the negative for that annoying song. Here’s the commercial if you’ve never seen it, and now that you’ve read this, you will see it all the time:
