Do what

>>13153837
That's a really tone deaf advert
You would think the marketing niggas at McDs would have the sense to know that is going to get back to Ireland but no, they have too much coke up their noses

>>13153849
No one cares about the Irish

Why do the Irish hate U2 so much? Is it Bono in particular, or am I missing something else?

>>13153837
DOES NO ONE SEE THE FLOATING CHILD GHOST ON THE RIGHT!?

>>13153850
yeah except Irish Americans, which is a huge group of shitheads in the northeast
if viral, will def hurt sales

>>13153894
americans don't care about europe

British Parachute Regiment dished out some much needed justice to a bunch of boggy IRA sympathisers.

>>13153837
They probably just thought it would be a silly pun on that one song without knowing what it was about. Why do the Irish insist on being perpetually triggered? REEEEE, you can't call that drink a black and tan! REEEEE, you can't call that drink an Irish car bomb! REEEEE, I'm offended by an ice cream sundae! They're fat, screeching SJW: the country.

>>13153849

Guess they had other things to learn in history class!

>>13154219
That's pretty damning. Ireland btfo.

>>13153917
That's satire doofus

Does everyone get offended by messages clearly not actually referencing some past negative event? I promise, they're not trying to catch the ire of the irish. Really. They're not.

Would you get mad if someone sold clothes that said "Black cotton pants, for those hard labor days" because it has "black" "cotton" and "hard labor" in it? I mean wow that's basically promoting slavery of blacks am i rite?

You mean like "coolest monkey in the jungle?"
Oh wait, that's not a past event.

>>13154699
>Do you mean X?
>It's not a past event that fits your criteria
I'm glad you finished that conversation with yourself without my interference.

>>13154692
Yeah, it's interesting. Like people are optimistic for some sort of weird shared universal experience of all aspects of human history. I wonder if it's possible. I don't know. It is nothing but a curiosity to me. Nobody will have sex with me so I will never have offspring so I have no investment in the future.

>>13154711
The implication is that it is still a current event, thus why it was perceived as offensive.

>>13154722
"It"? Bloody Sunday? A current event?

Regardless the ad is using a common halloween theme, blood, so seeing it only during halloween times should be a clue as well to the intentions. If intention is irrelevant for feeling offended then that's just too bad.

>>13154731
No, Monkeys in the Jungle.

>>13154722
If you meant "coolest monkey in the jungle" I don't get it. You mean black people are still called monkeys as a slur today? Well that wasn't what I was even talking about and nor was OP so I guess that's on H&M to get blown the fuck out for that.
>>13154737
Aight, see above.

>>13154731
Ireland is a current theme again, because the division between the north and south is completely fucking up Brexit negotiations.

>>13154740
Black people are still in the jungle today

>>13154731
There have been so many different bloody Sundays that it probably covers every week of the year.

>>13154742
Marketing today could never afford to try and be political by referencing a slaughter of irish intentionally. It just coincided with halloween and brexit. Occam's razor my man.
>>13154749
I really don't believe the problem people had with that line was the fact that black indigenous
people still exist within areas with jungle today. That's not even a loaded statement by itself if interpreted that way.

>>13154759
Sounds to me that's just diluting the point to be offended further. The more days it can coincide with the likelier it's just a fluke not associated with it.

>>13154731
Bloody Sundae wouldn't be so bad, but the text above saying Sundae Bloody Sundae is too close to the u2 lyrics to give the benefit of the doubt. Nobody repeats things like that outside of songs/musicality. It was intentional

>>13154740
>>13154762
People throw bananas at black people on rival teams during sporting events today. They don't do it to white people. The implication is obvious. It's pathetic, but it happens.

>>13154767
We're getting on the wrong "layers" here. U2 sang about the actual Bloody Sunday when the irish got killed. Mcdonalds is merely referencing the U2 song as it is well known and fits the ad of the product but hardly the underlying meaning that U2 had. Would you really outright say Mcdonalds in Portugal is trying to say "get fucked irish folks"?

>>13154769
Yes. The issue is blacks being called monkeys. That's what I've been saying. Putting up a shirt on a black kid saying he's the coolest monkey in the jungle is clearly differentiated from what's in OP.

>>13154773
Yes, the U2 song about dead Irish. I don't know how you can reference a song about a murderous event without being incredibly tone deaf

Taco bell should release a watermelon freezie with this song next.

>>13154792
U2 was massive in their time. Their songs were just emptily pumped out on mainstream radio non-stop. Most people didn't think about what any of them meant. If it were the Cranberries I would agree with you. But U2? No way.

>>13154792
Normies don't listen to the lyrics, anon.
I'm pretty sure I heard Perfect Day in a car commercial a while back.

>>13154792
>Clip a small hugely popular line from a U2 song to sell a red colored sundae on halloween
or
>Two blackface guys that talk like a stereotype, dance around singing about watermelons for blacks as their promotional song for a watermelon freezie on taco bell
Yep, entirely comparable. Every reference ever has the stigma of anyone or anything who ever said it before. I bet you've once in your life mentioned a german word or geographic location you literal Hitler.

>>13154816
Bloody Sunday is a bit more explicit than any song that people interpret like a horoscope applying to addiction.

>>13154818
>small
It's the chorus and it's the part that references the actual event

>>13154798
Bono's always been an activist though, and because some people tune out to current events doesn't mean you can reference them willy nilly

>>13154830
>doesn't mean you can reference them willy nilly
Of course you can. Who's going to stop you?
What do you think the consequences should be for something like the OP pic? You want people punished for a lighthearted pun about ice cream?

>>13154847
Slow down there, Ayn Rand, the OP image is slightly ironic. They aren't calling for Maccas to shut down, just that they could have picked a better advertisement
But most pigs don't read the nutritional ingredients on the bag when they head to the feeding trough, so it doesn't really matter what the advertisment says

>>13153859
Underrated post.

>>13154266
I was listening to a thing on the Beeb this week. At EVERY stage of the events leading up to the shooting war, it was the IRA (not the local Catholics) who were instigating and escalating. There were so many opportunities for the conflict to end more-or-less peacefully, right up to the point where the motherfucking Mick terrorists started blowing up buildings, buses, and, well, the countrymen the were ostensibly advocating for. Then it was on. Cocksuckers.

>>13154219
Finally! Objective and inarguable proof!

>>13153850
McDonald's should! There would be no more shamrock shakes if the leprechauns don't consent to use of their trademark.

>>13153850
What do the Irish have to do with Europe?

>>13154594
I fucking hate this guts art. Ugly as sin, and stupid as hell.

>>13153859
It's not the Irish. It's the well adjusted human beings that hate u2 and Bono

mcdonald is an irish name..

They should have gone with a special version of the McRib for halloween. The McTheRibber. I would have liked that. And dead prostitutes can't start rubbish controversy.

They're in the EU.

>>13154219

>>13156062
Is Mac the Ribber related to Mac Tonight?

>>13155760
No its polish

why does basically everyone love hating the Irish?

>>13157098
The same reason so many hate the blacks

>>13157098
Its the only non white group socially acceptable to be racist towards

>>13157196
What about Italians

>>13155760
What a terrible name for a burger chain.
It reminds me of that tragedy.
