OK, this is just gross - real McD's ad? [General]

If this really was from McDonald's, someone needs to be fired. I cannot possibly imagine worse advertising.

It doesn't appeal to me either, but is it really that bad? It's clearly a photoshop job, meaning no infants were harmed (directly) by it. And in the context of announcing the birth of a new McDonald's location (see "Just opened" in the caption) it seems quite applicable.

My immediate thought upon seeing it was : white-and-pasty is exactly what your kids will end up looking like if you feed them this nutritionless sh*t

So this is what a freshly hatched ginger looks like...

That image will give me nightmares tonight...

Beware the juggalo babies.

They should make the ad more realistic and add twenty pounds to the kid.

As a redhead, I'm more disturbed by the "freshly-hatched ginger" comment than by the photo in question.

It's a Photoshopped baby a la McDonalds. Ugly as sin, definitely. Bad advertising? I'd say so. Surprising, shocking, or appalling? Hardly.

So is this what they make baby food from?

It's an ad for a McDonald's store that opened in India. All of the prodction staff are Indian including, I suppose, the PhotoShop magician who altered the image.

And it's just an ad. Don't be so coulrophobic
