Who has seen the McDonalds advert with the bouncy caste?

Isn't a bit insensitive to show that and commercially crazy after the accident at Chester-ler-Street?

I was shocked.

Is it insensitive to show an advert for cars if someone has been run over?

That happens all the time. This was a FREAK accident and a one off. Therefore, they should withdraw this advert.

What happens in the advert? And what was the accident in chester le street?

In Chester ler Street a bouncy castle maze got picked up by the wind and dropped 70ft. Two people died.

The McDonalds advert maze looks remarkably similar.

I think it is inappropriate. They should withdraw the advert.

I can understand if people are upset, but if an advert was withdrawn
because of this, what else does it mean should be banned? Where does it
stop? We are already a nanny state as it is.

It's plain insensitive.

Don't be silly. So whenever someone dies are you saying that all
adverts that having anything in common with it should be taken off TV?
Why not remove all the images of bouncy castles from google while
you're at it.

Don't rise to the bait.

Ooh why not. I shall dictate a letter to them straight away.

I didn't mean you.

phyllisbermann · « **Reply #11 on:** July 26, 2006, 05:27:26 pm »

Whyever not?

Perhaps withdrawing the ad is a bit much - but maybe they could have delayed it for a couple of weeks?
