Lost Racist "You Better Don't" McDonalds Ad

We recently added a bunch of new airings of the other ads to the doc thanks to someone in the LCF server, but other than that there's been no developments on YBD itself.

Here is another Construction Workers ad I found in the wild:

It's looking like McD released this particular commercial during winter of '04. The other commercials we've located were from mid Summer through Fall. 

Edit: Not to sidetrack things, but I thought Chicken Selects were new as of 2004? This is a CS commercial from 1998.

I think the "It doesn't come with a toy" one is from McDonald's Canada, actually. Or I might be mixed up from the video I first saw it on...

I forget if it was in relation to this ad or a different one, but I remember someone emailed McDonald's themselves and they basically said they don't keep an archive + their international marketing wings can be quite nebulous in the first place.

It's unlikely that an ad agency would give out a copy either (especially if they're aware the ad is controversial) but an individual creative who worked on it would theoretically be a better option there. At the moment we don't really have credits for any of these though.

I feel like making a "Have you seen me?" poster for this ad like I've seen for other lost media.

Anyone got an update?

bumping for the one time
