McDonald’s new ad: Brilliant or tasteless?

But others felt that the ad, which aired prominently during NFL playoff games Sunday afternoon as well as the Golden Globes award telecast Sunday night, was insensitive.

“Maybe instead of making that horrifyingly cynical #GoldenGlobes commercial, McDonald’s could pay employees a living wage? #ImNotLovingIt,” tweeted comedian Eugene Mirman.

“The McDonalds commercial that wants us to thank them for changing their signs during national tragedies is more tasteless than the McRib,” added Mike Polk, Jr.
