Double Cheese, Double the Trouble

This is a banner ad for the McDonald’s Dollar Menu that circulated the Internet in a few places. In case you are like the marketing department at McDonald’s and don’t see why this is funny, I’ve isolated the trouble frame below.

“I’d hit it” means “I’d have sex with it” to the Internet generation. I’d ask how this slipped by the stuffed shirts at McDonald’s, but after seeing this I’d say they are asleep, and perhaps dead, at the swtich.
The interesting thing is that both marketing devices -the banner ad and the “i am asian” site- became popular exactly because they were so bad. Is McDonald’s actually much more shrewd than we give them credit? Is this actually a very successful viral marketing attempt?
Is it worth it if everyone is laughing at you?

Uhh that’s kinda sick. Its funny as hell too, I get an American Pie esque image in my head. The famous pie scene. I prefer the scene from the unrated version where he’s on top of the kitchen island going at it with the pie, I get that picture only of with a double cheeseburger. They’re really good but not that good.
