A little help here?



Can someone please splain this one? Seen in Portland, in Oregon, in America, on a major city street. What are we not getting? Or is this what they were going for? "YES! Let the people decipher our ads online! BRILLIANT!" Maybe this headline kills in Finland or something.

"I have a fresh cracked egg." Really? That's it? If we play it backwards does it say something else? Come on.

so funny you actually put this up...I stare at it every day on my way in and try to figure out what it says. "Who" has the cracked egg? I mean seriously. Couldn't they have just said something like McDonalds uses fresh cracked eggs and gotten more from this thing. Think of the huge amount of billboards all over the US right now....makes you a bit crazy.

Amen, sister.

Anyone with an explanation -- in any language, any context -- anyone? This seriously makes the book. What a freaking waste of money, resources, people's rods and cones... ridiculous. Must...stop...now...

So, I saw a modified version of this billboard that made way more sense for McCrackdonald's. Someone spray painted some of the words and letters to blend in with the background and the new message read: "I have crack". Thought it was hillarious and really fitting especially now that they've shown that food with McDonald's packaging actually tastes better!

Yes indeed. And if all dressed up like a goofy clowns maybe our kids will like us better, too?? (Impossible!)
