FR#2 / McDonald's gay ad

[rodrigosalasja]

i love mcdonalds <3

[HREsama]

whoa....... it took me a minute

[myeyeswillburn]

AWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

[sirhcization]

the look at 0:32!!!! <3<3<3

[michaeldarko]

Definitely not a fan of McDonald's but I love this ad. And I don't get why people are up in arms about it. What's wrong with it? It's just so sweet how the guy is all in love with his boyfriend...And his little smile at the end like "Dad, if you only knew..." :-) Really cute and funny.

[cabezatv]

"come as you are" who do they think they are!?!?!? this video is meant to perpetuate the fear of living IN the closet, no matter how lovely they tried to set this up, so patronising the statement ¨"come as you are" still says To be gay is something you should be ashamed of and never say it loud, but you are accepted to come and rise up your cholaesterol levels with us.

[audiosaure]

@cabezatv oh such an energetic comment...quite liked this reasoning

[SimDuff]

We don't care what orientation you are, come block your arteries at McDonalds.

[neoflyboy]

patetique comme le PACS

[Autumn3n]

i love this add i heard about it in pink news and wondered why they were talkin about it but i really like the meaning behind the ad with come as you are :) xxx

[tonietonieto]

Urge Congress to strongly condemn the proposed legislation and tell the Ugandan government that persecution of the Ugandan LGBT community is not acceptable.

Google: "48 hours to stop Uganda's anti-gay bill!" and sign petition. Then inform others.

[Toocrazyforthisworld]

There's another commercial that's very similar to this one.

[tiie17]

Can somone tell me the name of this guy ?

i really like him ! X)

[prishly]

@HappySealProductions Thanks a lot! For taking time to answer)

... Dommage qu'y ait que des garcons dans ta classe, t'aurais toutes tes chances! Right?

PS I dare think that my command of french is more than passable but since i don't get to listen to live conversations like this often, understanding spoken word is where the slack needs to be picked up)

[dreamlikedigital]

FATHER, I AM LE HOMOSEX

[Lilyonsan]

@dreamlikedigital Son...I am Le dissapoint.

[camilledriguet]

@Lilyonsan You should learn how to speak french before talking... !

[Lilyonsan]

@camilledriguet And you should really learn to read what I was replying too

[prishly]

Thanks for posting. It would be nice if a francophone could answer my questions:

Doesn't the guy say something like "je t'embrace" after "y a mon pere qui arrive"? If so, "I have to hang up" is an incorrect translation. And what are the words just before "je faisais un vrai carton avec les nanas"? Merci d'avance)

[HappySealProductions]

@prishly Yeah he says "je t'embrasse". But before he says "y a mon pere qui arrive" he says "je te laisse" which means, "I have to leave you" but not as in a romantic way, ie; breaking up, of course.

The dad says "J'avais la meme tete que toi a ton age" which means "I looked like you when I had your age". BUT if you mean RIGHT before "je faisais un vrai carton avec les nanas" then he sais "je peux te dire que" which means "I can tell you that [continued]."

[ojjojjojjo]

the best ad ever

[thegaythespian]

subtle, but well done

[xanderis9]

i cant stop watching it.. it's brilliant advert!

[balleTommy]

Nice to see mcdonalds doing something nice... Lol

[elgar34]

McDonald's food is truly awful, but the boy is delectable.

[Nylonphoenix]

what song is in the background? its nice.

[elgar34]

I'm sorry, I just LOVE this so much.

[elgar34]

McDonalds food is awful, but what a cute video. GORGEOUS boy. 

[DjDangerGirl01]

argh, that's so incredible sweet! ♥

[Diuqiliquid]

Disgusting. Nobody should eat at McDonalds. Not because of the ad, but because of the food.

[SleeplessSinger]

This advert is really beautifull!! The guy it mega cute =)

[corkguy25]

watching that guy definately makes me wanna put something in my mouth.

[benjaminde]

what??? THIS clip is "that" clip everybody's talking about? haha...

first i thought the old man is the lover of the boy... but THAT clip is so... sweet, so harmless. where's the problem?! don't get it!

[arksnark]

@benjaminde lol some ppl see the word "gay" and since "sick perversion" isnt in the same sentence they flip out.just because this guy is having a sweet little chat with his bf, supa conservitive ppl are like "NOOOOOOOO McDONALDS IS SATANIC!"

[verathewaitress]

Suddenly I'm hungry for a Big Mac.

[verathewaitress]

What an incredibly powerful piece of film.

It should play in the US not just because of the subject matter, but because the US doesn't have advertising balls or talent like this.

[lottieyeahlottie]

I'm sure someone has asked this before, but what song is that at the end?!

Also, he's the best looking boy in the world. You go, France coco. 

[PubRakvere]

bromance......

[Bazman5000]

I ABSOLUTLY HATE McDONALDS... but after this advert does anyone else fancy a Bag Mac???

[PndaKttn]

I like this commercial very cute

[PIKACHUGODDESS]

That was VERY sweet! Good job McDonalds, now come here to America and do a similar commercial!

Ryuichi

[elgar34]

@PIKACHUGODDESS Don't expect that to happen anytime soon. Perhaps it could be shown in a 'Blue State', but in general the US is so hopelessly behind the rest of Europe. With due respect to many fine resident liberals, the ignorant and prejudiced conservatives are far too powerful. It is a very polarized country.

[arksnark]

@elgar34 yea your right. the u.s is kinda mucking up...well everything! the economy, equality, the military. its definatly past its golden age. i so wish i could move up to canada :/

[spagandtuna]

Hey all, check out loser "TheNico000" 's hateful rant against this vid; I bitch slap him, he creates a site against me then bans me from it. Tear this cowardly gangsta commentator wanna be a new one, why don't you???!!! Go to: "This Youtube Profile-spagandtuna left racist words on my profile" and weigh in!!

[cfhgregstacfh]

im bummin it

[xIxAuroraxIx]

@Mixcheck Good job! Did you write all that yourself, or did your mommies help you?

[ChibiGeeBee]

This is what the controversy is over? I don't get it. It's so sweet.

[nightw4tchman]

@ChibiGeeBee Conservatives thinking that it's wrong to be gay. They're shocked that McDonalds would dare show that it's accepting of homosexuals. I mean how dare they! Showing that it's ok to be yourself... I approve of this advert.

[elgar34]

@ChibiGeeBee ADORABLE!

[erkdoc5]

Personally I hate McDonald's, but I hate them a little less after this ad.

[arksnark]

@mixcheck hmmm this comment is a bit all over the place...anyway, god must be a bit slow on the draw no adadys, since its been, lets see, 5 years since canada gave out marriage eqaulity. last i checked, thye hadnt been"deleted" oh but im sure greenland will pop out of existance any moment, you know being the ninth country to decide discrimination was for the middleages and thus letting gays have equel marriage rights.

[sydneyheremaia]

Campains like this are nessasery because in this world even still  in 2010, there are countries where being gay is punishable by death. Thank you McDeez!!!

[Lambert649]

Awesome expressions on the guys face gives McMeaning to the vid. French McDonalds needs to take pride in this presentation. Ray Kroc would approve if he could. After all, he was the one who broke the steortypical barriers at the San Diego Zoo with "Tiger River".

[al1wh1te]

I actually love this advert :) I mean it doesn't make me want to eat at Mcdonalds...the advert is terrible in that respect (mind you not much could make me want a big mac lol) I just tink the ad is so sweet and lovely and it does make me hate Mcdonalds a good bot less x

[gardengrowsevenonefo]

And it's not like gays had never felt welcome at a McD's before, c'mon now.

[gardengrowsevenonefo]

McDonald's doesn't give a shit about gays, they're just really good at hitting a target audience to sell their products. And its working so far. All these homos are now more than ever in love with McDonald's. Being gay is a curse, don't try and spread it like a virus, cuz it's already being hammered into our daily lives by the mainstream media with clowns like Lady Gaga and everyone else that follows satanic rituals. Being gay isn't new, so get with the program cuz most of you are lost.

[babertron]

@gardengrowsevenonefo being gay doesn't make you a satanist. that statement so ignorant i don't even know what to say. everyone sins man. i do agree that the media shoving down our throughts that its good to sin is sickening but you need to calm down and know your enemy.

[gardengrowsevenonefo]

@babertron All religions clearly condemn homosexuality. McDonald's has a huge influence on the world just like Disney. Especially on our children. For these corporate giants to use their influence into indoctrinating feeble minds for their own benefit is outrageous. I'm not saying they should bash gays, just saying they should leave that stuff out of their agenda. Unless of course it doesn't matter to McDonald's who they offend, because as with most corporations, religion is just an impediment.

[babertron]

@gardengrowsevenonefo it also condemns masturbation and adultry. everyone has masturbated and a recent study states that almost 50% of married people have at one time or another mcommited adultry. does that make all those people satanist or damned to hell? NO. I must agree though that the mc donalds ad is nothing more but an attempy to appeal to a wider audience at the cost of our youth's confusion.

[gardengrowsevenonefo]

@babertron I'm not saying that gays are hellbound. I'm not even labeling gays as satanists. Who am I to judge really? McD's although, is a company ran by luciferians. They're using the same tactics big tobacco companies did with women and cigarettes. I'm just saying, all of these well known companies should stay out of certain issues if they don't want to spread hate. Again, I am not against gays, just bothered by large corporations abusing their power.

[ABigOneLikeDaddys]

@babertron I'm amazed that you were able to fit all that in, under 500 characters.

Cheers.

del-boy

[kindvideo2]

¨Too bad your class is all boys, you could get all the girls...¨

Yea, if he wasn´t gay...

[candyisc00l]

Sorry to dissappoint you, being gay never comes as a choice nor is it a sin. :D have a nice day!

[babertron]

@candyisc00l someone could argue that being attracted to more than one woman isn't a choice or being attracted to little girls and boys. or how about being attracted to animals. being as that they all have holes and all have the ability to pleasee yours. mental addiction and manipulation is a strong thing that can even and often does affect the young population. and if you believe in the bible's god then it is a sin.

[babertron]

@candyisc00l As for it being a choice. You should tell that to the people who were homosexual and then became hetero or those who were hetero and then became homo. Or how about bisexuals.

mentally addicted people don't believe they are actually addicted.

[jijamaphone]

Wtf...Macdonalds are advertising by the means of 'We are a good company who will accept Homo's, it's okay to be different, we still want your money'

PATRONIZING.

[hfzwoopah]

those french

[sugarlilly123]

They should have had a gay couple and a straight couple standing in line, with the straight couple looking funny at the gay couple, then had the staff behind the counter serve them both the same, then blacked off and said "come as you are"... that makes sense, this is just two people communicating, its got nothing to do with mcdonalds being welcoming to gays

[mixcheck]

wtf , gay!!! they didnt show this ads in usa becouse its too unrespectfull , men should be real men not gays , damn for that i swear , be a man not a gurl , damn, i will never eat in macdonald again sucks restaturant contain gays

[BrightRaven0]

@mixcheck Ladies and Gentlemen, i now present: Why the world hates you, america!

[juangou]

Being gay is NOTHING to do about not being a men.... Please open your eyes, and open up your mind.

This sexuallity exist from the ancient times because is natural and not wrong at all.

The important thing is to live your life, express your feelings, respecting others.

Thanks McDonnalds

[dorendavis]

I've watched this ad several times. It really is a sweet ad. Done quite well. Cute guy too.

[mrbrockpeters]

Don't be fooled people: McDonald's cares not about your sentiments, it cares about winning over customers. I don't believe this is genuine. Always look at a person's motives when they try to appeal to you.

[animagigirl]

la gay french boy...... tee hee

[zentinela1716]

I don't like McDonald's but I like this ad too much.

[delawarebill48]

Extremely well done! Thank you McDonald's

[Jessekadiri]

C'est Mignon... !!

[nne1ssn]

Love it....

[Chazster31]

@adlayking

Good One. You think about that one yourself? Uneducated trash.

[wttsui8472]

Never underestimate the market share of " Pink Group " ! Even McDonald also switches the target.

[loftyabuse]

......dude, thats gay.

[loftyabuse]

....dude, thats gay.

[theshore465]

the great thing about MC Donald's commercials are it shows different stories of different people. emotions and connections are emphasized. im a Filipino. and one great MC Donald's commercial here in Philippines really struck me. watch McDonalds Philippines Commercial "First Love" Huling El Bimbo. there's no subtitle but you will get the idea just simply by watching.... comment here to tell what you think..

[irinadz]

Absolutely stupid ad.. I am sure that gays spit on it.

What does it show?? A boy is still hiding his sexuality, so the whole point is that GAYS also go to MacDonalds?? Or may be that they CAN or ALLOWED to go there? Well, thank you so very much!!

Why not to do a toothpaste ad, where GAYS ARE ALSO welcomed to brush their teeth with is, like "normal" people??

[hotiscute]

@irinadz hey i actually see what you mean, and i kinda agree with you but don't you think the boy too adorable that you can hardly hate the ad? lets forget about the hidden agenda of the "stupid ad" and thank Mc for bringing the cute guy to us! :-D

[irinadz]

@hotiscute he is indeed cute, but no, I don't :) I don't like when so-called "advertisement specialists" abuse the "weak links" for their own profit. Yet somehow they end-up looking heroic. Sorry, for looking deep.

[hotiscute]

@irinadz ok, thanks for shedding light on that aspect though. appreciate that really:) sorry, for being shallow LOL

[jdbohdan]

@irinadz True, people will admire this but they are only trying to get more money. Further, it shows a parent who has no real communication with his son. Perhaps that's typical but sad.

[lazombo]

lol wow that was funny when he's like to bad your class is all boys..... i was like ooooohhhhhhhhh busted

[sboondieboy]

Mcdonalds is being open to who they target their ads to - they have ads targeting: Children Young couples Married/ straight couples Teenages having fun Working / busy mums on the run Good old footy dad Families and now finally someone stood up and made a slogan "come as you are" Great marketing targeting a different audience - one that is hardly touched by "mainstream: If you dont like it I am sure one of the ads will be just for you! its a series of ads targeting all audiences.

[elgar34]

Adorable. What a cute boy.

[jomiki2654]

about time something like this came along :)

[cagnazzo82]

That kid should've responded 'instead of a ladies man, I'm a man's man!' :)

[kazumazkan]

gays have gone through rough years and there still getting bullied and beat up its not right

[CaptainRooble]

I don't get this advert, it's as if McDonalds are saying they thought gay people didn't enter their restaurant.. but now they are welcome to? wat

[surgedark]

Gay people suck, im never buying anything from McDonalds again now that they have endorsed gay people.

[arksnark]

@surgedark well im sure McDonalds wont be buying anything from you wither. :)

[cagnazzo82]

@surgedark Oh shut up you moron. Like if your opinion means anything.

McDonald's won't be missing your money... I'd suggest saving up to get an education.

[surgedark]

@cagnazzo82

Shut up

[cagnazzo82]

@surgedark Why exactly are you clicking on an ad that clearly states 'gay' if you don't want to see it?

Are you lost by any chance?

Although judging by the comments on your page, I can see you're a habitual troll. Go find a bridge please and park yourself there.

Thanks.

[Barca87]

FFS... McDonalds and Gays: both "taboos", but both fine!!

[sweetfro0]

what the hell is the song that is playing in the background!!! i want to know so bad I have been replaying the commercial trying to figure it out but i cant!

[ABigOneLikeDaddys]

@sweetfro0

it's french !

Cheers

[HXxKanexXS]

I so fucken want a mMcDonald burger after this....

[Ubnarb]

lol

[rustydog1236]

I think Ray Kroc just turned over in his grave ...

[itzPbjellytime]

so this is suppose to make me want mcdonalds?? by watching this i get cravings for a big mac? um no thats not how it works what where they thinking?

[xRedWolFproductionz]

what does this have to do with food...

[7RockinRobin7]

I think you're right about why they didn't put the ad in America. However, I think it's cool and brave that they made the add. I don't think it was made bc they had homos feeling uneasy there before, but perhaps bc someone at the top, probably there in France, is Gay and is helping they gay community be better known as acceptable -bc so many ppl ARE against gays/fags/lesbos/dikes etc. There are hate crimes, and so on. I thank M for helping gays be known as acceptable.

[BrightRaven0]

@7RockinRobin7

Man Shall not lie with man...

also, don't wear clothing of more than one fabric, trim your beard or masturbate

and don't even think about needing glasses, or being a dwarf.

raping 12 year old girls, is fine though

[cagnazzo82]

@BrightRaven0 Hilarious!

[babertron]

@BrightRaven0 just curious as to where it say there is something wrong with being dwarf or wearing glasses or that its ok to rape.

[BrightRaven0]

@babertron @babertron

Raep teim!

Judges (21:10-24)

Numbers (31:7-18)

Rape of women is allowed according to the bible in 10 different places.

dwarfism, blindness and bad eyes

Leviticus (21:16-20)

[babertron]

@BrightRaven0 judges: i could go into why your wrong but i'll save time and simply say that that the passage was a historical one. god never commanded or promoted rape.

NUMBERS: the men and women that slept with them were considered to be under a curse or plauge. hence the exicution. also god never promoted it.



[babertron]

@BrightRaven0 Leviticus: this one cracks me up. this section of the bible is about the requirments to perform a alter ritual (a ritual that takes someone of physical fitness). basicly. god said not to allow a man of disform to do it because it was unsafe.

[babertron]

@BrightRaven0 had you actually read the bible instead of been so lame as to look up the most obvious petty athiest (wrong) arguements I would consider your view. but unfotunaly you didn't I'm left with nothing to do but laugh at how ignorant you are. remember we are on youtube so my grammer and spelling is off. no need to flame, i know =D

[FrogGeek]

@babertron I know evolution is a proven fact, the universe is 13.7 billion years old, and I do my boyfriend every weekend. How do you fit that into your quaint desert superstitions?

[babertron]

@FrogGeek lol although I also believe in evolution. They are both theories and as for you having a boyfriend and have relations with him? Well that’s your life. Do with it what you wish. That does not mean I believe what your doing is ok. People believe the darndest things are wrong. Like pedophilia and bestiality or how about polygamy. I believe homosexuality is wrong. I don't believe I’m better than you. nor do I believe your damned to hell. Everyone sins. Who am I to judge?

[babertron]

@FrogGeek @babertron With faith needed to believe everything in life. In a world full of people depositing faith into terrible things, what’s wrong with putting faith into something that supports and encourages people to be the best they can be and help their neighbors?

Me trying to tell you my faith is law would be wrong. lol but you already did that to me didn't you? You said that evolution and the universe’s age are fact (undeniable/ law) don't you just love hypocrites? =D

[babertron]

@BrightRaven0 The fact that people gave so many thumbs up to such a weak ignorant point is laughable / depressing.

[ABigOneLikeDaddys]

@7RockinRobin7

Dear R.Robin

No one at a company suggests to do a so-called gay ad; it is European Legislation which requires corporations to be inclusive.

Recent legislation made it necessary for businesses to meet the needs of such people prior to their voicing any need.

Read more books.

[LifeOfTheParty323]

I don't even get it. He should have came out to his dad at McDonalds and then asked him if he wanted a McFlurry lol

[DJEDDX]

@LifeOfTheParty323 Agreed! or a Frappe lol

[LifeOfTheParty323]

@ABigOneLikeDaddys Ewwww not her. This video is not about incest but i told her i was a lesbian. She missed out on the McFlurry though. The idea just came to me. Guess i owe her one haha

[ABigOneLikeDaddys]

why should they shun they just want money they dont care who buys there crap keep that fag stuff away its a disease all blisters are doomed haha

[imali2k]

oh my gosh, thats actually quite sweet. xx Thank you McDonald’s, for not shunning people based on their sexuality.

[ABigOneLikeDaddys]

@imali2k

I wonder if David Laws has ever eaten in McDonald's ?

[imali2k]

@ABigOneLikeDaddys hhhmmm well if he did, he sure as hell didnt spend £40,000 on a big mac. he just spent it on a big c*ck.

[ABigOneLikeDaddys]

@imali2k

Dear Ibrahim,

In your experience do you suppose that David Laws liked french sex or greek sex better?

Wanting to keep something secret may relate to oral more so, than anal.

What would you say, Ibrahim ?

Cheers.

[7RockinRobin7]

@imali2k Yeah, in a sense, they're helping gays be known as acceptable (as we SHOULD be). gay is not a choice, just a gene fact like hair color and such. and NOWHERE in the bible is it against gays -those ppl lie and are confused followers of confused leaders who're confused about genetics. the bible says what the add says "come as you are"

[imali2k]

@7RockinRobin7 as a gay man brought up in a muslim family, its nice to hear that there is some tolerance somewhere! x

[mindy12217]

@7RockinRobin7 no it doesn't look up romans 1:27-32 also 1corintians 6:9-10 and next time get your facts straight the bible does not support gays
