McDonald's Commercials

They're running a new McDonald's advertising campaign out here - not sure what they're running back in Canada, but the one out here is that McDonald's crew can do anything. Various scenarios are:

1. A plane is going down, the pilot, co-pilot and everyone and anyone else is panicking - a crash is imminent - But wait! a McDonald's employee arrives (where from exactly? the seated passengers? dressed in his uniform?) and everyone relaxes because the McDonald's crew can save anyone.... (Yeah right, a 17 year-old teenager is more capable than a trained pilot... Whatever..)

2. An operating theatre - the patient flatlines - the doctor and nurses are all panicking - what should they do? Not to worry - a McDonald's employee has arrived (in uniform. Really....would anyone go anywhere in that uniform unless you were getting paid???) and everyone calms down.. Why? Well, because a McDonald's crew can handle any situation... (Again - yeah right - a 17 year old teenager is more capable than a trained pilot...)

Despite that - on the whole - not a bad premise really. It could work as long as you've never been inside a McDonald's restaurant. Most of those crews I've seen (and I've seen a few..) can barely figure out how to put on the fries - let alone do surgery or fly a plane... and especially not the one at the Wharf....
