McDonald's Hates It When America Wins

therawfeed.com — Shamelessly pandering to Chinese nationalism, the McDonald's corporation has chosen a slogan for a massive marketing campaign within China: "Wo jiu xihuan Zhongguo ying," which roughly translates as, "I LOVE IT WHEN CHINA WINS." How will the knowledge that McDonald's "loves it when China wins" affect nationalist feeling here in the United States?

  • chicofaraby, on 07/06/2008, -2/+6Who gives a *****? OF COURSE McDonalds uses pro-Chinese themes in China. I'm willing to guess that Candian McDonalds are pro-Canadian, Brazilian McDonalds are pro-Brazilian, etc...
    • LogicBomB, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2You miss the point. They are an American company betting against America in an international set of games in which America is competing in.

      I'm Canadian and I find this to be really annoying.
  • iching, on 07/06/2008, -0/+4Large 'American' (international) corporations don't give a crap about anything except the once
    almighty dollar. Gee, you think Exxon cares about America? They play governments like chips in a poker game.
  • LogicBomB, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2If this was a China-only competition it would be 100% fine. I'd even support it. Who doesn't like a pat on the back from a friend?

    The problem is this is an AMERICAN company with AMERICANS competing in the olympics. But instead of somthing country-neutral they instead decide to say "***** you America, We prefer it if China wins".

    How would you feel if your US baseball team of choice hung out a banner that said "We love it when the Toronto Blue Jays win!". You would be a bit pissed off, and rightly so, because it makes no ***** sense.
