I took one more look at just the commercial for McDonalds in France.  The one which, for the far right, seems to be scaring them to death.  If it really were not so sad and their response to the commercial so un-American - or, more accurately, so un-United States. (All too often people forget that Canada and Mexico are in America. So much for our geography classes.)

I realized that the scene with father and son happens over and over again in this and so many countries.  It is a scene which can evoke a bit of sadness, or certainly the young man does not want to disappoint his father.  And, he knows that at some time, he will come out to his family, the small smile the actor gives the camera at the end of the piece shows us that they will be fine.

Think of how many times something similar happens right around you, or, maybe in a few years you will be involved in such a scene, but, if you are the parent, then you know that your son or daughter is a gift to you and to this world. 

For fun, I thought I would put the commercial here without the Fox comedian's silly and old antics.

I do hope that you too can see hope for both father and son.  (Disregarding what they are consuming and what is entering their arteries!)
Enjoy.
