The McDonald’s McCafé ad by DDB in Austria features some sculpted and deformed people. The tag line for the ad reads, “Everyone needs his morning coffee. Every day from 7 am.”
The Play-Doh people obviously didn’t have their coffee! The construction worker is as flat as a pancake, the mother of two is in a knot and the business man is totally disfigured. The ad isn’t very realistic, but it definitely gets the point across!
