Canes and Canadians, McDonald's can't differentiate

McDonald's produced a series of ads in preparation for Canada's run at a gold medal at the Winter Olympics. They can all be checked out at the official site, but Carolina Hurricanes fans should specifically click on the commercial titled "Anticipation."

Go ahead, I'll wait. Back? Notice anything...curious...about the crowd shot?

Your eyes did not deceive, that was the RBC Center filled with cheering Caniacs. But hey, they're all wearing red. Which happens to be the national color of Canada. Don't sweat the small stuff.

if you look closely on the video you'll notice someone checking under their seat for a Bailey's box.

Very astute observation!

McDonald's doesn't fatten people, they do it to themselves. You have the option of not going to McDonald's. You also have the option of going to McDonald's and purchasing one of their more healthy alternatives (salad, grilled chicken, apples instead of fries, etc). Folks love to talk about how McDonald's makes people fat. The food they're eating at McDonald's is likely no worse for them than what they're eating at home.

Geeze, you NC screwballs take the bait faster than a carp at the sewer plant. Get over yourselves and do something productive with your frustrations like going to a UNC basketball game. Oops, did I really say that? Tee he, he!

So you not only value my opinion but you're also interested in my geneology as well?

One thing puzzles me and that's with coaches and teams like Roy's boyz, Sid's kidz and K's gays, you must have a really twisted defintion of what constitutes "thug playerz" and "crook coaches." Tell you what, next time you have a question or opinion that's worth explaining, I'll be glad to help you out. I'm just sad that UK won't be providing another basketball lesson to UNC this season.

If you pause the video during the pan shots you can easily see that the fans are wearing Canes jerseys. If I was Mickey D's I would be a bit embarrassed.
