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.

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!
