IRISH MEN WHO dared to arrive at the McDonald’s branch on the Belgard Road in Tallaght in a ‘girly car’ recently were subjected to a bout of gentle ribbing.
According to McDonald’s Ireland:
As part of McDonald’s Serious Man Food campaign men are being asked to “man up” at the Drive Thru and accept that by chowing down on a Quarter Pounder Deluxe to turn them back into the hulking beasts they once were.

They’re looking out for people in their “mam’s cars, their girlfriend’s cars, kid’s cars, bicycles, whatever isn’t manly, and we’re going to help them”.
A Ford Focus, anything that looks like it can’t achieve any kind of speed, a small car, an older car – drive any of these and you obviously need saving.
