I'm resisting the temptation to blame Sarah Palin for this ad

And while Starbucks vs. McCafe might be an apt comparison in much of the country, McDonalds doesn't seem to realize that in Boston they're battling Dunkin Donuts.

They don’t play all that much Jazz, and there is no shortage of women wearing heels and showing off their… knees.

I'm just assuming you frequent the Davis Square location these days. In which case.... Yeah. Couldn't agree more.

DD, I think both ads are fairly well-done, although the "Hipster" one is a bit predictable. Or more predictable than the "Intellectual" one.

Onion rings schmonion rings.

Let's talk Chicken Fries.

Regarding the "Hipster" ad reference to berets:

Does anyone wear berets anymore? Last time I saw one was in Team America: World Police.

I thought that she said she wanted to show off her needs, and I wondered what she was talking about. But the need to show off her knees doesn't make that much more sense to me. That said, the bigger the burger, the better the burger, the burgers are bigger at Bugrer King --- it takes TWO hands to hold a Whopper.

But Mickey D's does have better fries. And I take my coffee black, no sugar, and Starbucks does that better than Mickey D's.

I’ll punt this to Virginia, Laura, and Megan.

Translation --I'll just let the womenfolk take this little cultural studies doodad.

When I head uptown I go to Mickey D's. The Coke Zero is ok, but the Wifi is the best in town..... In fact Cost Cafe doesn't even have a wifi. Starbux does about 50K, Macs averages over 1 million.

Plus I can wear my favorite wash pants without getting stared at.

How screwed up can you get?

Amusing ads.

Intellectuals don't have have to know where Paraguay is any more than they have to know where Tyler or Tulsa are.

Intellectuals need to know where Davos is, or the South Carolina islands are. Paris is important - KC is not.

Starbucks really pissed me of when they cut iced tea from the menu. I'm not into all this barista crap, just want a good glass of ice tea

Yeah but McDonalds coffee sucks.
