Filet-O-Fish

There has been a lot of talk about this commercial lately.

I remember the first time I saw it. I was like, "What on earth? This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen in my life." But then, about a week later, I caught myself singing along with the commercial, and I'd even have it stuck in my head throughout the day.

The people that conjure up McDonald's advertisements are geniuses.

I have never had a filet-o-fish, nor have I ever wanted one. And, I can’t say that this commercial is changing that fact. But they have definitely made an impression on society.

We all know McDonald’s is around, it’s very prominent. But this is the first time, probably since the infamous BigMac commercial (two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, etc.) that we’re actually talking about them again. I see this commercial as reminding the world that they exist, and also, McDonald’s is trying to say that they are not just about cheeseburgers. Especially for all those people that are giving up meat for lent.

Brilliant.
