SonicÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s loving itÃ¢â‚¬Â¦

Download the McDonaldÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s UK TV ad

As promised on the GHZ Newsboard last Sunday, here is a downloadable version of the new Ã¢â‚¬ËœSega 2: Next GenerationÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ Mc DonaldÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s TV commercial.

RAR File 5.29MB

Ã¢â‚¬Â¦and IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m loving it too!

Did you fall for it?

Ã¢â‚¬ËœSeeing is believingÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ goes the old adage and a lot of you believed what you saw:

Yesterday on the GHZ Newsboard, big_smile wrote:

^The Metal Sonic figure suspiciously resembles the one from the Sonic & Knuckles Collection which was released in the UK in 1994....

Ã¢â‚¬Â¦Perhaps thatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s because it is!

big_smile also wrote:
^ EggmanÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s robots are too small to recreate battles from the gamesÃ¢â‚¬Â¦

Ã¢â‚¬Â¦.But they are just the right size to form the feet of this Maxi Collection Power Rangers robot.
LetÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s show Metal Sonic the Mighty MorphinÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ power of team work!

A Kikizo Staff Member entered the competition, so even famous people werenÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t immune to my prank. Congratulations to Very Crazy Penguin, Ngangbius and anyone else whose love of Sonic toys didnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t get the better of them. A special mention must go to David McKay who figured out where EggmanÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s robots came from.

You can, of course, rest assured that there wont be any more pranks on the Newsboard (well, not until this time next year).

Please, send an e-mail to get a chance at winning free toys? Possible consequences? Just spam, so that's why I used my crap e-mail. Nothing to lose, so... what makes other people better for not entering?

I don't mean to seem like a downer, but I thought that prank was somewhat lame. You did a good job at fooling a lot of people, but I don't really see the humour.. just a bunch of mildly dejected-feeling participants. It was like "Oh, cool!" and now it's just ".. Oh. Uh.. ha?" for me. A good prank is really surprising or really cruel, and this was just.. slightly cool sounding.

I didn't even fully understand it.

I see Dache fell for it, though, whatever it was. Lamer!!

I wasn't fooled, I just had my bases covered. I never believed it was a real contest but there was no harm in entering. Hope is not belief.

Whoops, you got owned. Stop pretending you're too cool to suck sometimes :p

I restrained myself from entering, so I win the internet. Free stuff plz xxx

Well I bet that some of the people who hoped it was real are probably thinking that this joke was cruel. ;)

April Fool's!

Or you could look at the subject line in my email. :)

Or I could have read the actual email.

For the record, I'm skeptical but if it's not a prank, then I'll have a big smile ^_^

That last part was pretty gay. C'mon.

It was already posted by Professor Machenstein in the
New Shadow the Hedgehog details thread, although the Game Trailers link he provided is no longer hosting it.

However, a copy of the trailer can be found here courtesy of Sonic fan Ivius

Things could be worse, you could be F.C.T.U.D.

Well, that sucks.

What does?

The competition being fake.

Omni Hunter · Post by **Omni Hunter** » Sat Apr 02, 2005 2:53 pm

I know, although the Metal-Sonic with bi-coloured ears put me off.

I forgot. Jokes aren't funny unless they involve sex or racism.

Post by **Delphine** » Sat Apr 02, 2005 3:22 pm

You're just mad because your joke was lame.

j-man · Post by **j-man** » Sat Apr 02, 2005 4:10 pm

It's funny because it's true.

Spazz · Post by **Spazz** » Sat Apr 02, 2005 5:18 pm

Same excuse as a few others. I knew there was a chance that it was fake, but thought, "Hey, why the hell not?"

<i>Unless <b>this</b></i> is actually the real fake thread!
