i'd better let mt child have a spider instead of eating at McDonald's... Even if it was a cobra instead of spider, a would think a little... before choosing wise :)

Are they suggesting i bribe my child with mcdonalds?
its definitely a good twist on an interesting fact they found in some research, but i dont think it makes for a great ad

This is clever, though if I had a daughter and she was asking for a pet mygalomorph, I'd probably be delighted. I'd much rather she kept a spider than played with a Barbie.

I'd much rather she kept a spider or played with a Barbie then ate at McDonald's.

Superb idea for the brand... And the graphic 'hand' is a very nice touch too (no pun intended).

ahahahahah just feeding that spider to a kid might make her healthier than shoving the happy meal down her thought. Gosh I love this industry.

very good insight.
regular campaign

I comment the comments

Guest's picture

you must be a suit

Guest's picture

or just plain stupid

DarkSide's picture 1027 pencils

Maybe I am used to better campaigns than this one and really think that this one is regular...

Do I necessarily have to love anything that others like, or do I have the right to have an opinion?

Mom to daughter, "The DEAL is this: you forget about the spider, and I'll take you to McDonalds." Supposedly McDonalds is so good it trumps this craving for the spider.

It took me just a little bit because I never had my parents do that to me. But when I got it I smiled.

You have to hate advertising in order to truly love it.

How did that parrot get out of the cage? Someone catch it!

Alternative copy:

Want a spider? Eat at McDonald's. McDonald's, now with more spiders.

Great capturing of expressions...I can tell exactly what emotions are conveyed through the two people in the ad! Love it!
