McDonalds Ads - tell us how do you feel about them folks?

[JustineMumsnet]

Good day MNetters,
We've been asked if we'd host ads for McDonalds, so we thought we'd ask what you think. Would you object to banner ads (ie like the one at the top of the page) on Mumsnet?
Let us know.

Wont bother me at all as I dont pay any attention to ads anyway.

I'm a bit perturbed by the idea of a 'MN demographic' though.

Given the across the board replies to many threads I'm not sure what the demographic is .

MNHQ - There's no "a" in the Mc of McDonalds.

As for ads - no problem as far as I'm concerned.

I find the idea that MN has a "tone and feel" and that anyone who eats McDonalds doesn't belong here more disturbing.

Yeah why not. It's not like you are advertising The Sunday Sport.

Not too bothered.

I'm not bothered, and I do have to give them credit for actually having decent allergy information. Even if I can only eat the fries (if there isn't a curly fry special on)

Doesn't bother me. We very occasionally eat there but DC don't really like it that much!
I will say that their charity was fantastic for a friend of ours whose toddler had cancer years ago. They were able to use the accomodation to save the 1 1/2 hr long trek in and out of London into Great Ormond Street.

Doesn't bother me.

NOOOO!!! My wankery ex husband works for them and it will remind me of him everytime I mnett !!!

I don't have a problem with it.

Why do they even want too? Do they think they'll gain any extra sales advertising here?
I may well have to opt for the anti ads thing a PP mentioned if you go there...

I think they've done more than some to provide healthy options and transparent nutritional information on the burgery stuff. I appreciate and respect that.

(I also appreciate and respect a QP&Cheese when I have my twice-annual hangover )

A bugger emoticon would be too far, mind.

BURGER emoticon

the other one could be introduced on a Friday night only basis...

I'd not mind, though I am surprised they want to advertise with us frankly.
If you start censoring adverts widely, you're going to have one hell of a job. I hate car ads, for example, being a sad greenie, but wouldn't suggest you don't accept them. We're adults, we'll make our own minds up.

god am I the only adult who likes a big mac (and Im not talking about a learge scottish person ) lol

looks like I am in the minority - I would not like to see them being supported in any way.

no problem with it here either...

Discounted McTastys and Lattes a possibility too.

Kudos on the charity front

If they say 'I'm lovin' it' then I would object a lot- on the basis that it is appalling grammar!

seriouslycantbebothered - Hell No !!

yes jade, on those grounds alone, I object!

Couldn't care less.

An advert is a plea, not a command.

Not bothered. Won't make me any more likely to eat there, though.

I don't know. McDonalds are just so...grubby. The way they wipe the tables with the same greying dishcloth.

I loathe MacDonalds and all that it stands for.

I'll think less of you, but then I'm probably in the minority.

Makes no diffeence to me so go for it

nor any difference either
