Seriously, this may be the absolute worst ad campaign I have ever seen. I had to do a double take as I was driving by this billboard. I drove around the block and stopped to snap a photo. I couldn’t let this one elude me. Good job McDonald’s, nice work!
I think McDonald’s ad agency is being very passive aggressive ..

I already think of the effects on my orifices when considering consuming McDonald’s food (usually this persuades me to go elsewhere), but this is simply revolting. Didn’t this agency consider than snack hole rhymes too closely witn a!!hole? Or was that the point?

[...] Coincidentally, I get a link from Jascha today with a link to capgunvisual.com which has a blog post dedicated to this family-friendly advertisement. [...]

Yes! I’m glad to see others who are just as disgusted by this ad campaign as I am. I actually wrote about on my blog too. What an awful campaign…if this is a true campaign, done in 3s, then what would the next edition of Open Your Snack Hole be?

[...] Here’s an email I sent to McDonald’s regarding the billboard:I live near downtown Seattle and find your billboard ad (the one that says, “Open your snackhole”) a bit offensive. Surely your vast advertising budget can produce results that are not so blatantly sexual. I’ve spoken to numerous offended Seattle-ites, and a quick Google search found still more people that feel the same way (for example: http://www.capgunvisual.com/blog/?p=106). In my opinion, this billboard should never have been put up. I think it’s time to take it down. [...]
