The good ol’ people of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) is at it again.
This time, compelling McDonald’s to stop the airing of its “BF-GF Commercial” as it is supposed to send the wrong message to children.
Lebron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Dwight Howard shot a commercial for McDonalds showing them engaging in a game of H-O-R-S-E.
It has not been officially released yet but as shown in the preview released by McDonald’s, it is a remake of the classic “showdown” between Michael Jordan and Larry Bird in 1993 as they fight over a Big Mac.
I think the one between Lebron and Dwight will have a twist to it. Knowing the leaping ability and dunking prowess of these two superstars, they might dunk the ball instead of shooting it.
All of us are very familiar with the contour shape of Coca-Cola’s bottle. The Coca-Cola contour bottle is in fact one of the most recognizable cultural icons in the world.
We might even say, “Wow, Coca-Cola body!” for someone who has a sexy figure.
Here in the Philippines, for a limited period of time this November 2009; Coca-Cola has partnered with fast-food chain McDonald’s to produce a new limited edition contour glasses of six different colors developed from the contour bottle.
I have the complete set of McDonald’s Happy Meal toys for Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs but I have not seen the movie yet. Ironic isn’t it?
My sister Bona who is a die-hard fanatic of the series (check her blog’s site’s URL) keeps asking me if I have seen it already. When I told her that I was not able to catch it in the cinema, she said that I should not watch it in a pirated CD/DVD either and wait for the home video release so I’ll appreciate the movie better. Haha, oo na, sige na.
Anyway, I’m glad that there’s already a McDonald’s branch here in Cotabato City because I was getting tired of those Jollibee Kids Meal cheapos. Talagang anlaki ng kaibahan sa quality ng toys nila. My pregnant wife also accompanied me that time when I selected Sid, Manny and Diego.
