Fun with McDonald's

Thanks go to the kids at Best Week Ever for remembering this 2001 McDonald's ad in which a trapped-in-the-closet Lance Bass plays Spin the Bottle with his N Sync bandmates (and Britney Spears)!!! It's a quick ad, so don't blink or you'll miss all of the wink-wink, nudge-nudge signs that even back then, Bass might be gay.

Although, if you really stop to think about the logistics, why would five straight guys play Spin the Bottle with one girl?

Also in McDonald's news, these two characters believe they've created a new sangwich -- the "Ghetto Big Mac" -- which turns a Dollar Menu double cheeseburger into a Big Mac. Only it's not $1, since they also buy a Dollar-size fries to construct and simulate the middle layer of bread, which would make it $2. So here is a link to the how-to site and video. But methinks you could come up with your own better Mickey D's burger, if you had a few minutes to brainstorm it. Or, even better, if you live on the Left Coast, you could visit In-n-Out Burger and have all sorts of DIY burger-making fun!

Or, relive the original-nosed version of Ashlee Simpson in this already classic clip from a Toronto McD's visit last year. By the way, am I crazy for thinking Ashlee is wicked hawt with her new nose? Am I? Wait. Don't answer that. Just watch the clip...
