Is it real? Or a comedy piece?

Wow.
It's amazing, people will criticize you for "biting the hand that feeds you," while they're busy praising the hand that beats them.

It certainly wouldn't work as an ad in the U.S.

True also we have never been not so uptight about certain matters either. In someways we are so behind everyone else. I'm not saying that If we weren't so straight laced on such subjects that this ad would fly either but the U.S. should get rid of some of the No No way of thinking.

My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

Was it Burger King that had a TV commercial with a similar theme?

Anybody else remember the "I'd hit that!" campaign? Can't remember if it was McD's or BK.

No, I'm thinking of an ad in which a young lady used her fist to show what she would do to swallow the whole Whopper. If that's what it was.

It was McDonald's. A modern classic. This guy really likes this sammich:
 Also, the look on pro snowboarder Shaun White's face in this ad is priceless. (May be a look-a-like and not actually Shaun White.) So the story goes that this campaign was the result of McD's trying to be 'hip' without actually knowing what the expression they were using meant.

I don't know what it is but most if not all of Mc Donald's slogan's I hate. They sound incredibly stupid. I don't like many commercials anyway. Don't even get me started on Carl's Jr's ads from about 6 years back.
