Spotted this in my local McDonald's!



For the unitiated:



And watch this to make it even clearer, then look at the pictures in the photo:

Or am I just obsessed?

My fellow nin friends don't think so.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

That is hilarious! LOL. I wonder if they are going to come out with goth/industrial inspired UnHappy Meals too?

no no no.

McDonalds is ripping off Skinny Puppy.
NIN, just ripped them off earlier.

I figured you'd find that humorous. It's not like I REALLY feel that way.

"err I'll have a large Sado-big-mac-ochist with medium Fries -- black as my soul please -- and a shot of absinthe."

I thought it was a clever comment.

But I know that's how you really feel.

i'm not laughing. i'm putting pins in the ears of a voodoo doll right now.

When I read the title I figured it would turn out to be an overinterpretation but I must agree that the similarities can't be a coincidence. I wonder if they could get sued over a thing like that? I mean, the images aren't 100% identical, but it's clear that they've stolen the overall design concept.

the only legitimate reason they could have for it looking that way is if the same artist designed it.

Thanks to a helpful NIN fan:

just fuckin with you, some pornstars name is 'spooky emo'.

benyamin said:

Wow.

Okay now I'm really expecting a McCloser and a Pretty Hate Sundae to appear on the menu.

retina said:

at least it looks good instead of those tacky kiddie/grandma interiors.

retina said:

Christ. I'd SO cruise through the drive-thru and order a Pretty Hate Sundae.


But seriously, this can't be true! Imagine Trent's face.


Maybe he'll be on their commercials. It could be some sort of business merger. Like N'Sync. Trent screaming into the mic, all distorted-sounding: "I'M LOVIN' IT!"

if they really wanted to be cool they'd have stolen this look instead: http://img.photobucket.co...tar/03.jpg

INSATIABLE said:

So would I!!

I think someone who writes ads for McDs is probably a fan.

To go from a red-haired clown to a black-haired clown as their mascot...I guess it isn't a huge step to take after all.
