Is that a photoshop? Coz I can't believe McD's would eff up that badly. But I would LIKE to believe it.
Gravdigr • Feb 25, 2013 6:17 pm
Well, seeing as McD's don't apply the decals to the buses, Ima guess somebody slapped a sticker on top of the McD's ad.

Cuz, you know, you can see it. It's wrinkled. Musta been a rush job.

Based on the wrinkles and the thin white line under the letters, it looks to me like someone cut out the G and then stretched the burgundy vinyl to fit. Vinyl responds in really interesting ways to heat; this probably took only a few seconds to pull off.

Agreed, it looks like the 'US.' is wrinkled, like it had been peeled off and reapplied.
BigV • Feb 25, 2013 6:57 pm
I dunnno.... it is *all* beef after all.

Until it's horsemeat.
SPUCK • Feb 26, 2013 5:41 am
It's shopped.

Look. The 'ANUS' isn't even the same font.

The funny thing about "Angus Beef" is that it does not really have to be pure Angus. But it sounds tasty right?
infinite monkey • Feb 26, 2013 11:40 am
Angus. Anus?

But it sounds tasty right?


Not anymore.

Actually, before it just made me think it was made out of some Scot.

Oh, I don't know what's up there. I never dared ask! :eek:

What about 'Aberdeen Angus' is that the same?
xoxoxoBruce • Feb 26, 2013 12:38 pm
'Aberdeen Angus' is a specific breed of cattle, but I believe 'Angus' is a catch phrase with no legal definition, which the advertising boys use to allude to better quality.
DanaC • Feb 26, 2013 12:40 pm
Ahhh I did not know that!


Funnily enough Burger King do a 'Big Angus' here.
Gravdigr • Feb 26, 2013 1:05 pm
From now on, Ima treat the word angus as a portmanteau for 'angry anus'.

Here Hungry Jacks (Burger King) do an "angry angus". They've even brought in an organic beef burger.

Pointless, of course. If you're talking prime steak, Angus is better than, say, Jersey or similar dairy cattle. Macca's and Jacks don't get within cooee of prime steak. It's ground up lips and arseholes, all the way. True, they're Angus lips and arseholes, but they're still lips and arseholes.

Almost correct Angus/Aberdeen Angus have what is known as the tenderness gene but many crossbred cattle carry this gene so black white faced are allowed to be "Angus Beef " and none are tested to have the tenderness gene "certified Angus"does have a legal definition. :)
Nirvana • Feb 26, 2013 8:23 pm
I keep forgetting to mention that this thread reminds me of Colonel Angus. I sure miss his shiny face in these here parts... ;) [/SNL]

I stand corrected, didn't realize they'd gotten so scientifical. When did all this happen?
Nirvana • Feb 27, 2013 10:29 am
10 years ago or so when the Angus BOD decided they need a campaign to counteract Peta etc and gene identity proved the existence of the tenderness gene.
xoxoxoBruce • Feb 27, 2013 11:13 am
Cool. So with a little candle light and wine, they can slip that tenderness gene into the Herefords. Maybe even the Shorthorns and Highlands. :cool:

Oh she may be weary
And young girls they do get wearied
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
Yeah yeah
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness, yeah yeah
Oh my my, huh

You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
A thing that she'll never
Never, never, never, never possess, yeah yeah yeah
But while she's there waiting
And without them
Try a little tenderness
That's all you gotta do
footfootfoot • Feb 27, 2013 1:55 pm
Mama, where's your pretty little girl tonight?
Trying to run before she can walk, that's right
She's growing up, she has a young man waiting
She's growing up, she has a young man waiting

Wide eyes, she'll be street-wise
To the lies and the jive talk
But she'll find true love
And tenderness on the block
infinite monkey • Feb 27, 2013 1:59 pm
Tender is the night
And the benediction of the neon light
Tender are the hunters, tender is the night

You're gonna want me tonight
When you're ready to surrender
Forget about who's right
When you're ready to remember
It's another world at night
When you're ready to be tender

Tender, tender tender...
