Is this actually targeted at the UK?
It's a super American ad. Everyone sounds American, we don't really have drive thru's like this etc.
In terms of message it's spot on for both the UK and US though. Especially prescient given the Flock stuff going on in the US right now.
EDIT: From the article, it sounds like this has been used in a few places, but the UK is the only one that has banned it. The reasoning behind the ban is laughable.
It looks like there's a longer version available on the site, but it's broken for me.
