Did Somebody Say McFurnace?

Old story, but who cares?

McDonalds says it will remove a sign advertising its “McCrispy” sandwich that’s located next to a crematorium in the United Kingdom, according to a report.
The sign, advertising McDonald’s “McCrispy” sandwich was placed next to publicly-owned Penmount Crematorium in Cornwall, England, according to Cornwall Live.
“New McCrispy,” the sign reads. “A new favourite, here to stay.”

You’ll have to click through to this article to see pictures of it since the only ones I can find are copyrighted. Near the ad, there’s another sign with an arrow pointing the way to the nearby crematorium, which should have taken the opportunity to put up its own sign saying something like “Waaaaaaay crispier in here”.

People were upset, naturally. but others chose to see the humour in it. Speaking for myself, I’m pretty sure something like that would cheer me up quite nicely if someone I love was ever to be a customer.

For its part, McDonald’s said that it wasn’t aware of where the ad was placed, which for all I know is probably true. Whoever was responsible for actually putting it up likely can’t claim the same ignorance, though. But he does get to be my hero for today, so he’s got that going for him, at least.
