In Videos: McDonald's France's 'Big Tasty' Commercial
Fast Food
Would you like fries (or onion rings or chicken tenders) with that?
McDonald's France takes a hyper-American approach in marketing its Big Tasty Burger to the French public by conjuring up classic images of the American west reminiscent of the Marlboro Man. "Rediscover the taste of liberty with the Big Tasty," the announcer declares in a husky voice. But don't ignore the note at the bottom of the screen to eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day!

The overt American sentiments of the commercial have been noted in a parody version. [Thanks to Yann Escarment for the heads up.]
