This ad aired today, in an effort to promote the “McBites,” a new menu item that is essentially a smaller version of their Chicken McNuggets. During the ad you hear a man ask, “You know what’s risky? Petting a stray Pit Bull.” The included banter is meant to insinuate that their trash food is perfectly safe. I’m only left to assume that the tone of the ad is in response to a picture that was recently posted of their “mechanically separated chicken” process. This picture (below) has created quite a stir and shows a bacteria-infested, ammonia-soaked, artificially-reflavored trail of pink slime that is in actuality the McDonald’s chicken product in its original form. Yikes.

McDonald’s has since responded, via Twitter, to the outrage obviously being voiced in support of these special dogs…

We apologize for running a local ad insensitive in its mention of Pit Bulls. We didn’t mean to offend anyone and the ad is being pulled.

McDonald’s: You suck. Your food is garbage and it’s a major facilitator to the world’s drastic decline in overall health. I could rip your business practices and the fact that you use beyond cruel methods to continually roll out your frankenfood, but so many other individuals have already covered that ground. Anyone not clearheaded about that truth? Just go over to Google and type a few phrase combinations into the search bar. What’s the biggest shame of all is that you felt the need to respond to the various criticisms about your hideous food by using an all-encompassing stereotype that’s clearly meant to villianize millions of innocent dogs. That’s not cute. That’s not funny. And you can certainly go to hell.
