McDonalds oatmeal blogger

Who the hell blogs about oatmeal? Is there like a facebook group or something where these people meet and discuss all things oatmeal? And furthermore why the hell is McDonald's selling oatmeal? People only eat it when they've either run out of everything else or decided it'd be a good idea to insult Randy Couture.

I'm getting really tired of the way old (older) people are almost always portrayed--probably because I'm swiftly headed in that direction.  Sure at the end she is miss up-to-date blogger but before that they show her as cranky, opinionated and set in her ways.  Cue the eye rolling.

Yikes! You don't have to type www anymore?  I always do this  I'm in my 30's and it's not like I'm new to the internet but I never really tried typing an address without www LOL

i feel like she's a stranger to the woman eating the oatmeal. if someone I don't know was hovering over my food, let alone commenting about "all that la-dee-da" (dude they're f**king blueberries)... idk what i'd do. probably say something along the lines of "what the hell is wrong with you? did they have table manners or common sense back then or is that new, too?"

Maybe this is what they mean by their "viral" ad:

McDonald's:  "We're just like herpes.  We keep coming back!"

Had they left out the "it's going viral" jab it might have been a tiny bit more tolerable. Blogs do not "go viral". Blogs about oatmeal do not "go viral". Literally these days most of the viral videos are completely manufactured to be as viralistic as possible, or are of people video taping their kids after the dentist or surgery, which if you ask me is the best way to win the "worst parent of the year" award. And don't give me that crap about it being ok to embarrass your kids, not when their entire name goes up on the internet for the WORLD to see, that's just selfish.

When is the last time you went to McDonald's and sat that close to another person? It doesn't happen. And what is she blogging about exactly? Look at this f**king oatmeal? This ad must have been thought up by someone in the over 50 set because it sounds like they just wanted to throw as much jargon in there as possible.

She didn't even TASTE the oatmeal! There are literally millions of sh*tty food bloggers just like her, this lady probably has a fan base of about 2 people. Hell, even I have more followers on my sh*tty infertility blog and I don't even blog for other people! Of which there are also millions talking about the same crap. Blogging is so f**king annoying! There are literally no interesting blogs anymore, and don't even get me STARTED on the "mommy bloggers".

I HATE when TV producers or commercial writers discover a word like "viral" which has existed for years and then go overboard with it and act like THEY are so cool for finally using it.

I also HATE the "back in my day" crap. It's such an overused cliche. HER parents said the same thing to her. Their parents said the same thing. Their parents said the same thing.

JUST STOP IT!!! Just enjoy life and stop obsessing with the "back in my day" crap.

The cell phone? "Going viral"? Really? McDonald's commercials have been pretty stupid for awhile now (since at least the mid-2000s). The thing I hate about all of them is how no one ever, ever, ever acts or talks like that in real life. And like all the rest of their "masterpieces", they always throw in the most idiotic dialogue to sound hip and trendy. I think they're the only company who's commercials truly irritate the living crap out of me for those reasons (Don't even get me started on the couple who was slapping the table over some coffee).

I also have a hard time believing that's the first time Grandma has seen someone put fruit on oatmeal...I'm pretty sure I've seen blackberries or peaches.

Forgot to mention, why is Grandma leaning into the girl's personal space. She's a little too close to be examining the food of some random stranger!

No matter how modern a gal she thinks she is, I'll bet she still refers to the 'net as "the information superhighway" or "the worldwide web".  She probably still types "www." before everything.

I'm not a McDonald's fan, but I was running late to work and went through the drive-thru to get something for breakfast. I got the oatmeal which I think is called something like banana-blueberry-walnut oatmeal..... or something. But -- it was really good! Of course, my next trip to the store, I stocked up on my own oatmeal and blueberries so I don't have to pay $3 for oatmeal.... but it was a pretty nice surprise that it was that good. :)

Are these "modern" commercials bad on purpose? Why can't they just tell us about the damn product for once without the commercial trying to date itself (and sound stupid while it's at it)?
