Something that is really really weird to watch are these:
http://www.illegal-art.org/video/mcdonalds/
Grimace was a bad guy, and McDonaldland looked like a rip-off of the land of H.R. Pufinstuff (I guess they got sued for $50,000 for it by the Krofts as well). The first McDonaldland commercial was the one called McDonaldland.mov --Ronald had an afro like that painter who was known for saying "happy little trees" and "little fluffy clouds"--I forgot the guy's name...
I'm trying to find clips of the original and the second hamburgler, who was actually an ugly -almost- scary-looking character in the beginning, then in the early 80's switched to not having a face that looked so much like a skull but -almost- sinister or mischievous, to the happy-go-lucky version they use now.

Those "big hucking chicken" commercials from Burger King make me want to go on a rampage in their corporate headquarters with an Uzi. God I hate those!! The song sticks to my brains like peanut butter for hours and it keeps replacing *hucking* for *effing*... *gah!!!*  _____________________

I have a very vivid memory of those old commercials. I recall they first went on the air New Years Day, 1970. Don't ask how or why a six year old would remember that date.  |

are worms even a virus!? Yes they are. Right now they're probably the most common form of malware. They're called worms because they do their damage the same way worms do, by eating their way through things. _____________________

Off Air: Apply directly to commerical.
Off Air: Apply directly to commerical. Off Air: Apply directly to commerical. I hated that damn ad :/ On another note: .. it has the russian sounding chick saying "Do you think you have worms?" she doesnt even mention that shes talking about a computer at first! Its called EAcceleration/Veloz/StopSign and probably about 50 other names. What the fail to mention is that their virus scan etc leaves THEIR spyware on your computer. I ended up visiting just to see if that russian girl was on the site.. i was disappointed. _____________________

The buger king breakfast commercials .. with "the king " .. hes just , creepy. I agree there. The one I can't stand (and never did like) is the one with that hack Taylor Hicks (who won the last "American Idol?"  bleating his "song" on the Ford commercials. |

Sort of a "well good for him" kind of thing. _____________________
