Creative use of media, but this is an insulting rash generalization.

would You please explain why?

Would you please explain how they crimp the corners if the poster is behind the glass? And who does that?
Sorry, I don't get it...
Do you see the fat lady in the back? She did it!!!
Nah, it's just a reference of the use of the media, to explain that it will be crimped, it's not that every day it crimps itself.

Change it, change it now coz they will tomorrow.
let's better assume that You're ironic.

i guess the pictures are just the 'making of' to explain the idea. and this is a one-poster-idea - you will never get the poster guys to fold every poster that way. and for a one-poster idea this is rather weak for me, sorry
there was quite many of these posters all over Helsinki, executed like this. so not just one...
i like it. not offensive, really, more winky.
why offensive?
because its a stereotype.
Love the idea, great simple idea ...well done guys.
is it really that offensive?
it's like saying mexicans use big hats. of course we don't, but it's not offensive if someone uses that stereotype to talk about mexicans.
new use of media, although there's not a big idea behind it.
Think it for a while.
Then, in anytime, it will come to your mind as an idea.
I totally agree with you.
Political correctness nowdays is out of control. The mere mention of someone elses nationality or cultural practice and you're branded a racist. Stereotypes do exist but shhh, we musn't mention them even if we are one.
Women may shop more than men,
Scottsmen sometimes wear kilts,
some Asian people wear pointy hats
and dogs do chase cats.
This idea is ok but by no means offensive or derogatory.
I am from Australia and if I saw an ad with a bloke wearing a cork string hat, teasing a crocodile while drinking a xxxx, I would think it's a naive representation not a racist one.
I'll probably cop shit for this comment.
ignorant and small-brained!
WTF is that?
Vietnamese or Japanese?
It's an OK idea, but please, tell me how is it possible for the lady in the background to stand motionless for all three frames?
she's talking on the phone
hahaha
its da same pic...
Vietnam alone don't represent Asia, unless you are talking about Vietnam spring rolls burger..

I like the use of the media to make it a part of the ad. It's not a brilliant idea or groundbreaking, but it's effective and much better than most McDonalds work I've seen. I have a feeling they're a tough client to try to be innovative with.
I find the comments about it being offensive perplexing. Are you actually offended or is this an offense by proxy? I suspect they're being offended vicariously for someone, somewhere who might find it offensive.
- The only thing rarer than a good ad is a good guest comment -

Good idea to use media creative. The placement should be in 3 step of gradience...
