    The studio behind it says they ‘hardly slept’ for several weeks

    Are they acknowledging that crunches and sleep deprivation lead to poor results? 😀

    The studio behind it says they ‘hardly slept’ for several weeks while writing AI prompts and refining the shots — ‘AI didn’t make this film. We did’

    You really shouldn’t be so eager to take credit for that monstrosity.

    Yeah, that was fucking atrocious, but given they’re Drowsy Don’s fave, I don’t patronize them anymore. Still an abysmal ad.

      Solidarity. Haven’t eaten there since September 2024. Besides essentially endorsing Trump, the food is absolutely not worth the exorbitant prices they charge.

      I mean, as far as I know they’re not exactly touting that fact. If they just say “whatever, here’s your damn cheeseburger” that’s not really much reason to boycott IMO.

      Now, Shake Shack switching to beef tallow for their fries and practically worshipping RFK… They can suck one. Which is a shame, because I’d actually like to try that if it were just a thing they did.

        Don’t forget that McDonald’s ran two separate PR campaigns for the Trump regime.

        And THAT is plenty of reason to boycott them. Don’t give those traitors another cent. There are a TON of other options to get that greasy junk food fix.

    So did Coke and McDonald’s do this because the reporting hits more people than the ad does alone?

    Not everyone is fond of Christmas. It’s not universally loved. I hated Christmas for close to 10 years after my mom died and before my son was born. This is a perfectly normal reaction to the holidays. That being said, should you spend your holiday hiding time at McDonalds? Absolutely fucking not.

    I did find the video amusing, even if it’s made entirely of Ai bullshit.
