That was my first thought, but: It's on the McDonald's YouTube channel, which I assume PJB controls. Does YouTube allow fakes? I can see how you can fake a still picture but a video? I know, I know, I saw the movie Forest Gump, but this is a close-up, one on one video. Far different. Unfortunatly, its's real. .
How many CEOs of a major company would tear apart one of their premier products down to its basic companets, modify it on camera, claim it's an improvement, thinking it's cute - - just so he can brag about his "clicks"? Like I said, this is for 13 year olds. .
I cant decide if PJB looks like Howdy Doody or Alfred E Newman, but in any case he is definitely not photogenic enough to be representing the Brand. Someone please tell him to STOP!
Nobody's going to tell him to stop. He's CEO and Chairman. The directors serve at his pleasure, no corporate employee will be honest, certainly no Operators are going to risk termination. This is a classic "The emperor has no cllothes" situation.
The following is from Google AI: The Fable: Based on Hans Christian Andersen's 1837 fairy tale, a vain emperor hires swindlers who claim to weave magnificent clothes that are invisible to anyone who is stupid or unfit for their position.The Illusion: Neither the emperor nor his advisors can see the clothing but lie about seeing it to appear clever and competent.The Truth: The emperor parades naked, and everyone praises his clothing until a child yells, "But he isn't wearing anything at all!".Moral: It emphasizes the need to speak truth to power and to speak up against collective delusions, even when it is uncomfortable. Modern UsagePolitics and Business: The phrase is often used to point out that a powerful person (a leader, CEO, or popular figure) is incompetent or that a project is a failure, despite everyone acting as if everything is fine.Collective Delusion: It is a classic example of "pluralistic ignorance," where everyone in a group pretends to believe something, assuming everyone else believes it too, even though no one actually does.Examples: It might be applied to a "disastrous press conference" where followers refuse to admit their leader failed, or to a failing company with a strong reputation. .

Thats embarassing. Could it be fake like we hear about?
