Not having seen this before I assumed it was a kind of left-field thing, but apparently these two are be pretty well known after this went viral (as we netizens say) last year: well known enough, in fact, to feature in a Macdonald's commercial (with a recent YouTube comment "if i saw people doing this in real life i would beat the living shit out of them". Which is nice).

Does it matter? Is this somehow now less great because it gave them the exposure to go on and make some decent money? Does it mean they've sold out?

I don't know. Let's not be too hard on them. We all have to make a living; we all have to make compromises.

And hey, have you tried the new Big Tasty? – 100% beef patty with onions lettuce tomato and cheese slices, all wrapped in a Big Tasty Bun. Boy, what a Grrreat Taste! And what a Grrreat Price! I'd say MacDonalds win the value battle…..hands down!!
