corporate advertising

i'm more shocked than mad, actually, that they'd even think of doing something like this. what, was their marketing team all out of ideas or what? if they in fact gave credit for the idea, then i've got nothing to complain about, but they didn't even bother giving onscreen kudos for the idea/commercial, and it just goes to show why McDonalds really is the scum at the bottom of the barrel(well, other than the fact theat i think their food tastes like crap, but that's just my opinion.)

anyway's here is the Mcdonald's new ad for mario brother's happy meal toys:

(edit: original link removed, replaced with one of better quality)

looks creative doesn't it? and it would be...that is, if it hadn't been done about 5+ months before from the guys at Gordon College:
video.google.com...

yeah, it's nice to know that some shumck just got paid big bucks to rip off some college kid's talent show skit.

:shk:
