Apparently this Japanese commercial is quite old, but I only stumbled across it today. In some weird hybrid of female sexual exploitation for commercial gain and fast food capitalist consumerism, McDonald’s “sexed up” Ronald McDonald and brought us this:

Miss McDonald is arguably way more interesting as a female Ronald McDonald.

Wow.
That ad can't be that old, the "I'm Lovin' It!" slogan is new-ish, isn't it?
It's interesting that the ad is Japanese but the model is white. It reeks of "Fair and Lovely"...

How funny that you posted this today! Last weekend I Parodied Ronald McDonald (Ronda McDee) for a pre-Halloween Party. After ordering the dress portion of my costume I was looking for images of Ronald's face makeup and I, too, came across this female version of Ronnie.
Here's a link to my costume last (and this) weekend!
