[edit] Commercial Appearance

I added the comment about Taiwan and made it based on what I just saw on television, but have no way to verify that fact besides knowing I saw it. Would a photo help my citation, or what?

[edit] Commercial

I have a commercial with this character from a 1988 Monday Night game between the Giants and Philadelphia.

[edit] Contradiction

The campaign included television commercials, with Doug Jones playing Mac Tonight. [...] The actor playing Mac on the television commercial was DJ "Danger" Kelly.

[edit] Village Voice

I recall the the Village Voice getting into a snit about this campaign in its "Op Ad" column, in which the writer (Ridgeway?) whined about the evil irony of using music and themes originally penned by German socialist Bert Brecht to advance capitalism, etc. Can anyone track this down? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.27.73.102 (talk) 06:43, 7 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Song Question

Wasn't his song, "It's Mac Tonight" based on the song "Mac the Knife"?

Yes. Will note. Wavy G 05:22, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Somebody put some stuff up on the main page which clearly doesn't belong:

"After Mac Tonight's successful tenure as the McDonald's mascot, upon being retired from advertisement, Mac Tonight reportedly played the role of Pale Man in Pan's Labyrinth. Also, the moon-faced swinger has been noted as a national deity in the country of Borneo.

Recently, Mr. Tonight has had several run ins with the local police department, due to conduct unbecoming of a national diety. When arrested Mac is known to exclaim exuberantly "time to head for golden lights!"

The links lead to different sites than claimed(which makes sense considering that the "facts" are fakes anyway). I thout I'd let the main page editors know. sono_ryuu_sochi 20:39, 17 May 2007 (MST)

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
