The new commercial of McDonald’s this 2010 was aired last Saturday and in two days time it gathered different views and various reactions from viewers.

I, for one, was a bit bothered. I don’t like the story line of the advertisement. It was about a tween boy having a date with a girl, and they were just like 10! Is McDonald’s promoting early dating? I’m sorry but that is how I see it. If they want to get this market then why not make a better a storyline? One that is appropriate with the Filipino culture.

My daughter is just 4 and I don’t want commercials such as this to pollute her mind.

McDonald’s Corporation launched a new commercial that targets the tweens market, kids 8 to 13 yea rs old. This is a move meant to attract more kids and retain them as loyal customers. While this may seem to work in other countries, it projected a different effect on some Filipinos.

Pinoys are still very conservative despite the fact that we already learned to embrace other cultures. We are always looking for Filipino values in every commercial, movie, TV show that we see.

Hubby’s reaction was: “Ang aga naman ng pagbo-boyfriend na yan!”

I guess he has every right to react this way because in 3 years time our daughter will already be a tween.

Others who can relate even finds it “cute!” Others just see it as “another McDo commercial” but for us parents, we think that McDonald’s would consider our concern. It may be getting enough attention but how about the welfare of our children?

How about you, what do you think?
