McDavid could win the Worth1000 ArtAds2 contest. It’s a classic. The great thing about using classical art in advertising is its familiarity to viewers.

Note to artist: Clever and memorable but Ronald McDonald is supposed to appeal to children. You should have added a happy meal box somewhere. Know your market.
