Christians Outraged Over French McDonald's Commercial *VIDEO*
 

Awwww! I literally think it's kind of heartwarming.

Great twist at the end.

"Come as you are"? I'll dispute that by saying that "gay" is not one of the "modes of being"... that's what outrageous!

I'm jiggy with anything that offends Christians. Nice ad, too.

gay, gay, gay, gay! mcdonalds went too far with that one

Regardless of the content that was a MUCH better commercial than the shit we get here. The videography was incredible compared to the shit they give us.

Yeah, I agree. It's very well done.

hahaha....Christians outraged...

only in america eh.

:Oh crap.........

do you really think its gay ? Graucho

if mcdonalds wanted to be good and christian they should of hung the kid at the end!

How about they bitch about burgers that have 50+ grams of sat fat and the poison they feeding people. Much better argument to be outraged about than some stupid commercial.

lucky that they didn't mention Mohammed in that commercial.... every McDonalds in the EU would be in flames right now....


:-D


.

Nice ad with good message.

would of been better if it took place in Thailand...

"Son, why is your girlfriend using the mens bathroom and sanding up to pee?"

I have to agree with you on this one...sucks!

A brave and well actually pretty understated commercial. It won't make me step foot inside a McDonald's but I don't see how it is offensive to anybody.

Nice ad, too bad it's mcdo.

Interesting quote from the christians: "... align[ing] themselves with promoting the godless behavior of a few"

..hm, would that be the minority group that believe in a dude that was the son of god, who got came back to life, and whose flesh and blood they eat every sunday?

FUCK THE CHRISTIANS... they are the next Nazis. They tell you what to read , belive , how to live and demand it.

Are you going to make this same comment every single fucking time a religion is brought up?

And if anything you should feel responsible for the rise of radical Islam,,,

They were showing class pictures (very on topic) of female university students in Egypt on a swiss TV show I stumbled upon. The show was very critical of Islam but they also showed pictures dating back to the early fifties, two hundred women per class, guess how many were wearing a veil? zero. yes that is right not a single one. and that was the damn fifties. In fact it wasn't until the late seventies, almost thirty years later that the first veil appeared. Now they all wear it.

Why do you think it turned out that way?What sentiments do you think the radicals feed on? Nooooo nothing to do with Palestinians...:helpme

"McDonalds, Come as you are, just dont tell your dad about it. I mean shit, he only loves you enough to feed you McDonalds, right? How the hell do you think he'll react when you tell him you're a donut puncher?"

ba da ba ba ba

When aren't christians outraged about something?

That's way to logical for any religious group to comprehend.

This reminds me of how I went to high school and the gym classes for men and women were separated. Learning with both sexes would be more useful.

I can feel the love in your posts.

Are McDonalds painting their shops dark green everywhere? Seems stupid, a bright red shop is really easy to find.

Bill O'Reilly talks about it here...

:1orglaugh that made me laugh

I'm not sure why AMERICAN Christians are mad at what goes on in FRANCE. There is a phrase I'm thinking of...... Oh yeah "MIND YOUR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS"

Saw this commercial in the theatre in Paris last weekend, no one was shouting blasphemy as far as I recall ...

:2 cents:

Maybe the coach is a female?

Just kidding:)

Anyway, heartwarming ad about TOLERANCE. The world could use more of that.

Rather than relying on a TV clip for your history source, i would like to suggest reading a book....

...Perhaps even several books, chosen to reflect both sides of an issue or view of history, to give yourself a well rounded view.


Just a thought.


:thumbsup:2 cents:

Notice how he asked, "So do they have one for the al-Qaida? "

Yeah, Bill, because targeting gay French people in ads is EXACTLY on the same level as targeting Muslim terrorists. :mad:

Yeah, fucked up.

Well, with that ad they (McDonalds) at least got free advertising from Fox Crazy News...

I can't believe its coming out of your mouth.
So how many palestinian books have you read?

Anyone who has been to my place knows that I own and read hundreds of books. In this case I read "Bitter Harvest", among others. I think it may be out of print now, but it's a powerful book. I'm a big history buff and a big reader in general.

It's not easy to read books that portray a version of events that go against one's own viewpoint.... but it's the only healthy way to get a full view IMHO.


.

McD has such a slick media campaign. That was very tasteful and conveyed more emotion and unspoken tension than most after-school specials I've seen. Well done.

Still not sure why they're singling out the gay teens as customers, but whatever. I'm sure they have the numbers to support it.

Well there you go. You said it. Reading it didn't do any good for you, because you brain has been set on something else long time ago. All you did is criticized the events in your head as if you knew better or were there. You heart stayed bitter.

Do YOU read versions of history that do not coincide with your views? If you ever did, you would know the truth of what I'm saying. I'm being open and honest with you.

You don't know my heart simply from darts that I throw on an internet forum.

You are not having an honest dialog with me, you are simply using debating points blindly. If you WERE having an honest discussion, you would acknowledge my answer to your disbelief that I read both sides of the issues; AND you would know that to read both sides, does not mean that one does not make a decision based on EVERYTHING that one has read. I have read both sides of most issues and historical perspectives, and then I make a decision for myself.

Is this true of you?

I saw that coming.

McDonald's is saying it's ok not to tell your dad your gay? WTF? Who or what I fuck or you fuck has no place in a McDonald's commercial.

Sure it is, but only when it doesn't involve my personal feelings. I have no roots in Israel or palestine, so this is all 50/50 to me. BUT NO WAY YOU FEEL THE SAME.
Let me give you an example. I have a college friend that got his Phd in Michigan few years ago. Some Biblical archeology stuff. He spent his time in Jordan, Lebanon, Israel. Done this and done that. He's not jew and obviously was interested in jewish studies, speaks some old language of yours as well as what ever you guys speak now. So I can say that he was pretty much nutural if not sypothetic to jews. When he got back 2 years ago i heard some very contradicting shit from him both about Jews and Arabs. Now, take you for example. You're jew as jew can get. You're racist and lets be honest here. No need to mention your Hindu wife, you know who Im talking about - Arabs. You are not very welcome to anybody elses opinions. You will see doctored video of jewish special forces and say, neh, don't buy it, all fake.
You can't think objectively. YOU JUST CAN'T. Very few of you can, and those that do get labeled as traitors.

"Sure it is, but only when it doesn't involve my personal feelings"
So you are saying that you have no views on any subject that does not involve you on a personal, day by day level? RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT...... :-)

You are making all kinds of assumptions based on no knowledge:

"as Jew as jew can get"?
I was not raised Jewish, never went to temple growing up, never had a barmitzvah, and I love BLTs, and milk with my steak. Not exactly, "as Jew as Jew can get".

"not very welcome to anyone's opinions"?
Ask people who knows me, and they will tell you that I'm VERY open to debate, and that I can, and have, been persuaded from long held views by convincing argument and evidence.

"don't buy it, all fake".
Please show me where I have ever posted that.

"very few of you can, and those that do get labeled as traiters".
"you"? You seem to be the one espousing racist views. I assume that by "you", you mean Jews, and you are making judgements based on race. Definition of racist.

I don't think that ALL arabs, or muslims are anything. They aren't all terrorists, they aren't all victims, they aren't all bad or good, or whatever. I base my judgments on actions, not racial background. I send barbs out into conversation on this forum to make points, like you do, but we are now in a discussion, so lets discuss.


.

add APPLE to that ... no more "think different" but now "THINK LIKE US" (looking at how they removed apps from their list that "didnt fit") ... same nazi behav imho :2 cents:

but serious ... ANY religion sucks balls :error

...and one last point on being a "jew as jew can get"

Growing up I was Wiccan as a teenager, and then studied buddhism, and even toyed with the Catholic church at one point... read every spiritual source I could get my hands on, from the Koran to the Tibetan Book of the Dead, to The God Delusion.


.:2 cents:

Lets make some things clear.
I do have opinion on many issues that involve my personal feelings, and Im willing to admit that they are not objective. Not at all.
You're saying that by reading few books about Palestinians you can think straight and say hey maybe sky is not that blue.
By "you" I mean either one of you - jews or arabs. You're both fucked up in your judgments.
"don't buy it, all fake" ??
Come on.. Did you post anything in that topic about boat video where it shows that some of it was faked. But hey, when it was time to make comments about Turks with slingshot you had your shots. choices and choices, eh?

" I base my judgments on actions"
Load of crap. A Jew kills an Arab its a self-defense, arab kills a jew its a terror attack. right. Give me a break.
