Eftersom jag har skrivit om Billboard Liberation Front och Ron English förut, så är det lika bra att referera vad SFist skriver om en lyckad fritagning av lite reklamyta i San Francisco till förmån för en lite egensinnig gratulation på Ronald McDonalds 50-årsdag, inklusive flashmobbande McDonken-clowner. (Se video (13Mb)).

That's when the crowd of clowns decended on the scene and began praying to the billboard, posing for media, and began to get the word out that McDonalds was just so happy to be celebrating their 50th anniversary. One clown, decked out with a rubber chicken and toy chainsaw, eagerly endorsed Chicken McNuggets.

När polisen kom: Once outside, the cops asked to speak to the 'leader' of the clowns, who professed to just being there because they 'saw it on the internet.' 'We're a flashmob,' they protested.

Update: Wow. Stay Free Mag har en artikel, inklusive video, som analyserar McDonald's-reklamfilmer från första början till idag. Om en av dem: There's one key to really enjoying this spot: Pretend that every McDonald's menu item is laced with pure cocaine.
