One shot also shows the brand's golden arches logo and strap-line with voiceover intones: "High cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart attacks. Tonight, make it vegetarian." The National Restaurant Association criticized it as "irresponsible." A McDonald's spokesman said: "This commercial is outrageous, misleading and unfair to all consumers." |
