How creative and unique! If all ads were of that quality we wouldn’t need TiVo.

Disappointingly, I don’t have something funny to offer for this weeks McDonald’s Monday — just something really really cool. Lot’s of different regions have different promotions and events, and in Hawaii? Some McD’s have Karaoke Night. How cool/bizarre is that?

It seems like the perfect combination — now that I think about it, I don’t think I could ever croon old Duran Duran tunes again without the smell of a Big Mac wafting in the air.

What about your local McDix? Do any of your stores have wild and wacky promotions or events?

Jack and Meg of White Stripes surprised their fans by showing up on a Winnipeg Transit bus and playing Wheels on the Bus, and Hotel Yorba! What An awesome surprise! Sorry I don’t mean to be rude but I wish the people on the bus would shut up and listen to the music.

7-Eleven turned 12 of its stores into the Simpsons’ Kwik-E-Marts. 11 of these are in the US and the store locations are mentioned on 7-Eleven’s website. The remaining store is in Canada :-). I tried finding out where that Canadian Kwik-E-Mart is located but this info isn’t mentioned anywhere online. I’m pretty sure it’s not Kingston :P. I’m guessing it’s in Toronto “centre of the universe” but you never know.

Any ideas where that Kwik-E-Mart is in Canada? I’d love to visit that store!

Here are a few pics of one of the US Kwik-E-Marts:

With yesterday being Canada Day and all, I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate our great nation than with a McDonald’s post featuring the greats of our great national pastime. Unfortunately, they haven’t made any MickeyD’s ads about curling or lacrosse, so we’ve had to stick with boring old hockey.

I think this clip, cute as it may be, serves as a great reminder regarding sports figures and acting. I would’ve liked to think we learned our lesson after Space Jam, but not a year goes by where we don’t see some charisma-less hack toss a football for Coke or hit a home run for Wendy’s.

That being said, there are a few sports stars who seem more than capable of making the transition. Was anyone else surprised at how much fun it was when Peyton Manning hosted SNL a few months back?
