| Health ad outrages McDonald's |
廣告激怒麥當勞 |
| A U.S. television commercial bankrolled by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine has infuriated McDonald's, the Guardian reports. In the commercial, an overweight, middle-aged man lies dead on a mortuary trolley with his cold hand still clutching a half-eaten McDonald's hamburger. One shot also shows the brand's golden arches logo and strap-line with voiceover intones: "High cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart attacks. Tonight, make it vegetarian." The National Restaurant Association criticized it as "irresponsible." A McDonald's spokesman said: "This commercial is outrageous, misleading and unfair to all consumers." |
