AWESOME! New McDonalds commercial features XL-7 in background...

AWESOME! New McDonalds commercial features XL-7 in background...

2008-07-18 by dwn4tupac

I really really really hate McJobbers, but their new commercial
features a bunch of "young hip hoppers" or whatever old corporate type
people call us these days.  Around 10-15 seconds into the commercial
there is a girl w/ headphones on or something working at a desk or
listening to music and in the background on a table there is an xl-7!
 I almost pooped my pants.  Then i got angry because the dickheads at
McJobbers don't deserve pimp gear.

Really?!?  Too weird!  If someone happens to catch it with a DVR or something, I'd love a copy.  Or maybe someone can find it online?

Good find!

I'll take whatever slack I can get, Bob randomly disperses it, and I havent
had my share lately...of course, I'm in the middle age of 'hip-hoppers' and
'suits'...oh well...I think their are kids, and adults, and everything else
is pretty grey.

The XL7 isn't really pimpin in gear lingo imo, anything with a price tag
under 1000$ I'd shove into the ;competitively priced' category...the CS's
require skill to fully potentialize, and pimps don't want skill driven gear,
they buy high priced gear because it sounds great no matter what!

Rofl McDofl's can chew my scrote anyways though....I've gone the route of
pasture raised organic moo-moos =]]

i've been vegan for ~10 years (veg since '91) so you can all guess my 
opinion of anything McDeath does to push its poison.

was there an MPC prominently featured in the ad? if not, i can only hope 
that anyone in their target audience is laughing at them.

I saw the commercial, but God, If I had a COMMENT for every piece that came on tv that I have in my studio, I would be up all night sending emails, so what the real question is "do they use it"? "NO" and just like every other piece of gear that I have seen, it just sits there. Yeah, it is cool to see it on tv, but I see it everyday in my studio. I have all of these EMU pieces and everything else too, I have been reading all the groups emails and I love to hear all the problems, and solving of problems and I think this is a great thing... Much Love to all the EMU Family, and much Love to the people who Love Making Music....

Recently gave up being vegan after 13+ years(the selection on the east 
coast sucks in comparison to florida). But i've always loved and eaten 
McDonald's fatty salty fries. :P

Yeah, they got sued for it and went to vegetable shortening years ago.

That's what i thought till i moved to maryland. Florida is almost 
another country.

True but it's not the tropical stuff i was raised on. apples and 
cherries and blueberries are boring as heck to me. to have a good 
vegan meal i would have to either travel far to go to a non american
(no offense) grocery store, or travel far to go to a non american
(yeah) restaraunt. (sorry for the OT).

they switched to veg-oil because people where concerned about cholesterol, 
and used "natural flavor"... natural *beef* flavor. then they got sued. 
the fries are not fit for veg*ns.

i've done vegan in dayton & cleveland ohio, among other places. almost 
anyplace in the states you can find an asian grocery store, and most 
larger cities (and plenty of small cities) have veg*n restaurants.

only places that i found that being a vegetarian wasn't a hassle was 
in florida or jamaica(that i've been to). there's an asian market 
about 20 mins from here. maybe less. but it's too much of a hassle. 
why can't a regular grocery store have it... oh well.

In Southern California, we just go down the street to the huge Whole Foods grocery store (also has tons of prepared hot/cold foods) or Trader Joes grocery store to get vegetarian or vegan stuff, no big deal to find.....

I am sorry about that, and no, I am not giving you the middle finger, I just thought it was going too far about the fries, and vegetarian diets, this was supposed to be about the XL-7 behind the DJ, then it just took a weird spin off about the fries.
 Oh well, it was cool to see the XL-7 on tv, I always have the tv on in the studio and sometimes people call me "TOM TEL-A-VISION", because of that.
 I am really sorry about how that sounded.
Have a great day everyone.

What kind of self respecting vegan eats fast food?????!?!?!

Most of my vegan friends are vegan on principal, that is they don't
believe in a. killing animals or b. filling their bodies w/ crap.  I
support both points.  
That being said, why would anyone attempting to minimize either a or
b, support a company that does nothing but support massive slaughter
houses and fill their customers w/ crap? 
Sure it was shitty of McJobbers to lie to customers about their fries
not containing beef.  
Isn't it just as bad for the people going there just for the
"vegetable" fries to lie to themselves about what the company they are
giving their money to does with the other 98% of the menu?

Hey thanks for apologizing,
I guess i could've had thicker skin, I'm still working on it i guess. 
I'll keep my fingers where they belong next time. 
I wouldn't mind running the funimation channel(does it really exist?) 
on my television in the studio(but the studio has turned into the 
electronics workbench lately anyway).

Have a good one
Malik

I did it for my health and wasn't thinking of things ona broader scale. 
I mean, i wasn't going to preach about the obvious(McDonalds killing 
the world with junk-food culture) and i loved the fries and though, 
hey, they're only potatoes. I did go a time without trying to kill bugs 
and all that kinda stuff but when you think about it, stuff is dieing 
all over right at this moment, whatchyagonnado......

P.S. 
Me becoming a vegetarian got my brother to become one, and he looks at 
me as a savage :P
