If you go to McDonalds, you don’t know where Paraguay is…
This is a McDonalds commercial that was aired recently on national television.
Woman 1: You know I heard McDonalds is making lattes now.
Woman 2: McDonalds? Well that’s just…fantastic!
W1: Isn’t it?! Now we don’t have to listen to jazz all day long!
W2: I can start wearing heels again.
W1: Read gossip magazines! (tosses book away)
W2: Watch reality TV shows…
W1: I like television!
W2: I can’t really speak French.
W1: I don’t know where Paraguay is!
W2: Paraguay?
W1: I just want to show my knees sometimes too.

Though in my recent visit to South America I found the McDonald’s McCafe a welcome addition to fast food a great form that they took on to adapt to the “cafecito” culture, there isn’t much of this commercial for the advertiser or its agency to be proud of. How said that knowing where Paraguay is supposed to pertain to the “intellectual” crowd when it should be learned and remembered from geography class therefore a point of general knowledge and not pertaining to the elite or “intellectual” crowd!

I don’t get this commercial.
What does not knowing where Paraguay is have to do with speaking French, or buying coffee???
