Sure, JibJab produced Office Max’s new “Elf Yourself” viral (at no charge, according to trade reports), but it’s been done. The new fun holiday viral comes from the folks at McDonald’s: the coffee ring snowflake. Users can create their own snowflakes (see the one I made over Thanksgiving) and then have them posted to an online gallery.
Have a great holiday weekend!

I wasn’t particularly impressed with any of the new creative on the blogs I checked this weekend, so I thought I’d pass along this classic McDonald’s spot.
I remember seeing it when I was a kid. John Amos (one of the African-American actors in the spot) eventually signed on to the Mary Tyler-Moore show as the WMT weatherman and went on to star in Roots as the adult Kunta Kinte.
Amos is still working, having made appearances in the West Wing and, more recently, Dr. Dolittle 3 (a must see on home video, no doubt).
