That was pretty cool. That French kid is all kinds of cute.

I love France.

Yay McDonald's!

"Why would he bring his class picture to Mcdonalds?"

My first thought is that they were just handed out at school.

So sad that American advertisers couldn't come up with something this good.

I only skimmed over the translation before viewing and missed the part about the SCHOOL photo.

I was pleasantly suprised to find such a young man. (and I don't mean that in an inappropriate way)

Well that was just f*cking horrible. Way to sh*t all over a cute commercial by making it stereotypical. Good job AKB.

I LOL'd.

That kid in the French commercial is absolutely adorable.

I don't mean to be the lone dissenter, but I don't love the commercial and it doesn't make me warm. The poor kid clearly has an ignorant dad. I think it would be a progressive commercial if dad looked like a lug but turned out to be accepting of his son.

The commercial made me sad because the kid has to hide himself to his dad, which refutes the "Come As You Are" message, because the kid isn't doing that.

Also, you have to excuse me, but I'm a therapist and I over-analyze things. There seems to be a correlation between love=food, so if your dad won't accept you, come have a Big Mac. That's just sad and unhealthy. It's a total fail in my opinion.

It's like when people hail a TV show for merely having a gay character or a person of color character, but that character is never shown in a three dimensional way. It's the same as not having a character at all.

Plus part of me can't help but think they are trying to get gays in the hospitality industry to come work there.

Sorry to rain on the parade.

"Way to sh*t all over a cute commercial by making it stereotypical."

Right, hence the fact that this is a parody. If he played it straight it would just be the original commercial. Ditto that it's making fun of those dads who refuse to see what's right in front of their face.

I also feel like that dad was a little creepily into his son getting all the women he wants. Not sure if that was the point but...

Made me laugh :)

Bettyboy72, I agree you DO overanalyse things way too much.

I think the ad is kind of 'heartbreaking' in that his Dad doesn't know, but I think to perceive the ad as a gay-recruitment advertisement is completely ridiculous.
