They probably just have one ad titled 'youth demographic' and flap that one in anything young people might be reading.

They should've had a picture of Ronald McDonald, or better yet, Grimace, greasing a rail with some sick Gorilla Steeze. I'm lovin' it.

They advertised in Transworld snowboarding this month too. I guess this is the start to some of the bad shit we expected to see when Transworld media bought freeze last summer.

i thought that guy was in a wheelchair at first. it took me a while to figure out what the ad was actually advertising. wheel chair racing or eating crappy food. and then i realized it was in a skiing magazine. and then i thought i must be retarded.

Good ad or not, thats a great sign, saying that large corporations are recognizing our publications, and it means a ton of more money for the mag, which means more articles, pictures, content, ect.

Snowmaster has got a point. Has anyone read fast food nation? That bood blows apart their wholesome family image. They are the epitomy of the corporate fat cat trying to bilk every last dollar out of the american public. Nothing about McDonalds is real. The taste their food has is produced in a labratory in New Jersey. I know it sounds crazy but read the book then do a little research, it's true. I agree more money and more recognition is always good for our industry but we don't need their help. Let them try and latch on and make money off of some other group of people.

thank you for your response.

do you ever think about where all things come from...all the energy, materials, and wastes of production?
i do. respect mother earth: she's all we've got.

Stop being a pussy. If you didnt realize that McDonalds represents corporate shit and all that, kill yourself now. If you did, you either dont care or will start buying organic food and all that bullshit. Either way, you dont need to bitch about it on here.
