McDonald's Goes Green with their St. Patrick's Day Stunt 'Shamrock Shake Spill'

Continuing the world-wide St. Patrick's Day tradition of turning everything green, the McDonald's Operators of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana have created the 'Shamrock Shake Spill'.  Maybe not as endearing to some due to the recent tragic oil spills of late, the gag is not lost on those of us who want to keep St. Patrick's Day one of the funnest days of the year.  Hey at least the spill is green.

Guinness Ad Shares 'Man Hug' Tips for St. Patrick's Day

With the happiest day of the year coming up, many guys need a refresher on appropriate displays of public affection during St. Patrick's Day celebrations. So the fine people at Guinness have combined that British style dry sense of humor with a satirical instructional video. The result is a fun TV spot filled with useful advise such as the 'A' frame hug that leaves a least a foot of space between crotches, and the 'firm pat' indicating the hug is finished. Great stuff.
