As if eating McDonalds while you’re driving isn’t bad enough? Now you might crash just looking at the billboard.
NO Way!!!! is this man out of his mind? … he isn’t but we might be!
Here’s a close up.
I spotted this while driving on The I-5 near Hasley Canyon Road right here in Santa Clarita.
Very creative marketing I don’t think I’ve ever seen any thing this unusual in Santa Clarita before.

Andrew, is that your final answer?

It’s either a fake man or a man paid to stand there as a gimmick. Either way the sign is made to do that.

It’s obviously a marketing pitch to convey the hefty weight of the new burger. My assumption is that the average American is going to consume 3 third pound hamburgers, which will lead to a massive heart attack and certain death. Great advertising McDonald’s! Way to kill off your consumers!

Its a mannequin, further enhancing the idea of just how big their burgers are.

It is distracting. But, atleast better than watching scantily clad women on the billboards.

It is distracting yes, but I still prefer scantily clad women billboard maintenance people.

Ok I have to know, have you driven past it again to see if it’s a real person or part of the billboard? That sure would get people to take notice of your ad, more important gets them talking about it.

Wow if that guy isn’t real, I’d be amazed. He looks very real to me. Nice marketing for the big M.
