Apparently there was a McDonald’s McCrispy poster on a bus shelter, right beside a road sign giving directions to a nearby crematorium.

MIL thinks it’s not funny and is in bad taste, I disagree and think it’s actually quite funny.

Who else?

At least it wasn’t a Burger King advert - ‘flame grilled’ might have upset even more people.

EVHead · 10/02/2023 17:26

It’s funny.

Some people must struggle to hold down a job and still spend so much time looking for a reason to be offended. There is, flat-out, nothing at all offensive there. It’s about as offensive as KFC advertising a “boneless box” near a vet.

BrutusMcDogface · 10/02/2023 17:30

Not offensive at all.

BrutusMcDogface · 10/02/2023 17:31

Or funny, even.

watchfulwishes · 10/02/2023 17:33

I don't think it is either funny or offensive.

It made me chuckle. But then I used to work in the funeral industry, you do find humour in strange things.

Testng123 · 10/02/2023 17:41

A normal burger fine..but Mc Crispy! It makes me laugh too but too much.

It made me snigger/snort

Recently cremated my dad. We would have howled at that and so would he.

Sorry to hear about your dad. But yes I do have a ‘strange’ sense of humour and I’d have giggled too if it had been someone in my family. Think it would cheer me up a bit on what would be such a sad day!

I don’t think it’s either funny or offensive. It’s an ad by a road sign 🤷‍♀️

lobeliasb · 10/02/2023 17:53

I don't think I would have even made a connection between the ad and the road sign. It's mildly funny I guess, certainly nothing to get worked up over.

ColdHandsHotHead · 10/02/2023 17:54

I was expecting this to be about tasteless burgers.

PlaitBilledDuckyPuss · 10/02/2023 18:07

Mildly amusing.

Insaneinthemembraneee · 10/02/2023 18:10

Funny 😆

mamabear715 · 10/02/2023 18:11

Bloody hilarious!

DuplicateUserName · 10/02/2023 18:14

I think it's funny that people complained 😂

The placement of the ad is neither funny nor unfunny though.

LakeTiticaca · 10/02/2023 18:50

It might serve as a warning to some people 🤔 😉

booboo24 · 10/02/2023 19:38

I thought it was funny too!

Ahh hahaha!! That made me spit my tea out! It is funny OP.

Takethatandparty30 · 10/02/2023 23:55

Quite glad to hear it wasn't just me! It made me smile when I saw it.

TattyOne · 08/08/2023 12:02

I think it's hilarious! People are far too offended these days!
