I may have posted this a long time ago. If so, here it is again.
McDonald’s, back in the day
This is how I remember the first McDonald’s I visited. It was in the early 60’s. I rode my bike there for their 15 cent hamburgers. It was about a 15 minute ride from my house. There was no inside dining. You walked up to one of two walk-up windows and ordered your food. You got burger, fries and a soda for less than a buck.
Logorama
In this 2010 Academy Award winner (Best Short Film) the Michelin Man chases down criminal Ronald McDonald. The 16 minute piece stars every corporate logo and mascot you can imagine. From Bob’s Little Big Boy to the Jolly Green Giant (and his giant junk), you’ll be amazed by the characters that pop up. Watch the whole thing to understand the dark side of being a corporate shill.
Warning: Language NSFW – Length: 16 minutes, but well worth it.
Excellent movie.
