So sad :-( but sadly not surprised :-(

Jared posted this vid to his facebook page:

I work crazy hours, even when I’m home ! Best part about being in Austin? Picking up the kiddos!Thank goodness for McDonald's #AllDayBreakfast, otherwise I’d never fit in breakfast! #ad http://bit.ly/1mnGWe7
Posted by Jared Padalecki on Tuesday, February 16, 2016

and there are already negative comments about him "selling out" and "only doing it for the money", plus criticizing that it's for McDonalds and not something healthier, both in the comments on his Facebook and elsewhere (LJ, twitter. I don't do tumblr but I can imagine it's happening there as well). I wish people wouldn't always think the worse especially when they don't have all the information as to why Jared is doing it or how he benefits. For all we know he may very well be donating any money McDonalds is paying him to one of the numerous charities he supports.

Guess after the recent YANA fiasco (yes, Jared/AKF is involved but in a totally invisible way :-/ ) I'm especially sensitive at the moment when it comes to Jared. Just wish everyone remembered the saying I grew up with: If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

This came up on my YouTube subs, and I didn't realise what it was at first, then I was all like "what the fuck?" I'm not stupid - celebs do ads. I don't like that McDonald's is what he's doing an ad for, although I do actually like and eat Maccas. It made me kind of cringe, perhaps because his kids are in it as well.

But, I mean, it's an ad. He's not doing anything so horrible. I mean, if you look at Bill Cosby and Charlie Sheen and so many others, Jared is hardly doing anything controversial.

Also, he looks totally adorable in it. Shilling aside.

Oh he looks amazingly gorgeous!!! Esp running on his treadmill while learning his lines.

Exactly. It IS just an ad. Anything that means I get more JP on my screen and these delightful RL BTS snippets, I'm always gonna love. Plus Jared is an adult who can make his own decision on what to endorse and why and I'll always support him.

He does look quite cute. He comes across as very genuine in the ad as well, it kind of took me a while to realise it was an ad.

I've noticed recently the move towards the new fandom celebration stuff, the charities and the ads, and I'm wondering if Supernatural is going to come to an end, this season or next. I feel like there is some post-Supernatural preparation happening.

Also, I just want hotcakes now. My friends laugh at me because I can sing so many ad jingles, and I think ads influence me just a little. Food especially. And I looooove Maccas hotcakes. And if someone paid me to say that, I totally fucking would.

And he even tags it as an ad so it's not like he's trying to do it on the sly. Wish all ads were this good looking!!!

I don't blame any of the actors for having post-SPN futures and careers in mind. As much as the boys (see their reactions as cons when someone mentions SPN ending) and fandom don't want the show to ever end, we all know that sometime in the future it will go on the Hellatus to end all Hellatusus/si ??

Also like that we sort of got confirmation that Jared is involved in some manner in the San Jac saloon in Austin.

I'll be getting Macca's for dinner tonight as it's payday and I always treat myself to take away (fish&chips/pizza/chinese) when I have lots (well at least for me it's lots) of money in my account (before it gets spent on rent and bills and credit card payments :-/ ) Hadn't decided ion which until I saw Jared's 'ad' so it definitely worked on me, though that's more because of Jared effect on me.

The reason I didn't know it was an ad is because someone posted it to an account I subscribe to with just 'all day breakfast'. I didn't know it was an ad, but it's obvious on his Twitter (which I had a look at). BTW there are some adorbs con travelling pics on his Twitter atm.

Of course I don't blame them for having it in mind, it just seems like maybe it's going to end sooner. I don't know. Just what I thought.

I totally did not know Jared was part of this saloon though, that was news to me! I was talking about this recently with a friend in relation to musicians, how so many of them open businesses and the like, because they are aware that their line of work is fleeting, and that they need something to fall back on, some longevity and a 'real' job of sorts. I'd rather Jared was selling Maccas and running a bar than doing lines of coke and renting expensive hookers, just waiting to overdose in a bathtub.

I think I'll be getting fast food for dinner too, although I'm going to get Hungry Jack's, so sorry Jared! Although, Maccas has frozen blue lemonade at the moment, and that stuff is fucking amazing….

Could you PM me the link to the Youtube vid??? I like to DL all his vids (mainly so I can watch them on my big screen TV) but I can't do it from FB.

He posted a pic on twitter a while back with him on a saddle and three other guys and mentioned they were at 'his bar' so fandom was already speculating about his involvement, investor?? co-owner?? So nice to know he is involved in the running of it and yes, it's a great investment for the future, no matter how low SPN runs.

I'd rather Jared was selling Maccas and running a bar than doing lines of coke and renting expensive hookers, just waiting to overdose in a bathtub.

Oh God, yes x a million!!!!

He seems pretty business savy and not likely to be pushed into something he doesn't really support.

I like HJ's too but am gonna stick with Maccas tonight (Thanks, JP) and now I gotta try the frozen blue lemonade.

DM'd you :-)

Ah yes, I did see that. I might've gotten distracted by Jared on a saddle. Sometimes I see him and forget there are words around him.

Well, Jared is definitely a smart guy. He's well educated and bright, and I think he knows well enough to have business sense. I see it in the newer generations of stars who have perhaps grown up with the tales of stars who died too young, who died penniless, whose fame was so fleeting. I think we have many smarter and savvier celebs now.

Definitely try the blue lemonade. It. Is. Amazing. I still try and find places that have frozen raspberry, but most people don't. HJ's have fucking sherbert. Ugh.

Also, I would totally be pitching to Maccas to have a MooseBurger. Because they already have Jared endorsing them, surely he would totally rock doing that?!

Maybe I have a future in advertising….

I have a copy in my channel as someone was looking for one to do caps.

Amen. There is hate on Instagram, too. Someone said something to him and then with the hashtag #Unfollow. Poor Jared.

As for me, I will always support him. He does not deserve this hate. I wanted to write something, too. But it would be useless. Everyone knows how supportive I am for him.

Oh, I hadn't even looked at instagram. Seeing the hate on his FB page was enough to get my blood boiling and the reason why I wrote this post. That said, I'm so proud that there are way many more true fans who are very supportive of him and telling all the haters they are out of line.

I know you are!!!! [[hugs]]

I thought for a while before posting but it was just something I had to get off my chest and if I can't do it on my own LJ, then where???

Thank you. I finally posted this. Thank you for standing there. It is my own account, if people do not like it, then they are better off.

I saw and commented. Had the biggest smile on my face and may have even fist-pumped once or twice while yelling "You tell 'em, girl!!!"

<3333333

If it helps at all, I am personally a big fan of McDonald's breakfast sandwiches. XP I don't mean for that to come across as flippant--I really do. I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other about these commercials because, I mean, I'm neither JP nor his manager and he should do whatever he wants to do.

I hate it when the Internet--with no actual facts at all, and far less understanding of anything than their extremely convoluted, delusional, etc. theories would let on--narrativizes people like that. We always seem to think we know more than we do? Like, calm down, Internet. Accept that you don't actually have enough information to have authority to speak to things like this. And it's not that you don't have this information because it's being hidden from you, or unrightfully withheld or whatever. It's just not your problem! (And I'm speaking here, of course, of the general 'you' making accusations and spinning theories and whatnot--not YOU you!)

I love their hash browns and sausage&egg mcmuffins. I have them once or twice a week, after coming off a midnight-8am shift and feeling hungry but way too tired to cook.

Yes, this^^^^. I also think that some people (and I refuse to call them fans) just take ANY situation/any chance to bash him. So even if all was revealed, there would still be those who just wanna hate for hate's sake.

People can be so ridiculous. Seriously? Do they realize that the boys get paid for Supernatural? That must of us work in whatever way to make money? Who cares if he is getting paid to endorse a product? That's what acting and being a celebrity is about. And, why do people think they have a right to judge anyway? He doesn't have to answer to anyone for how he makes money as long as he isn't hurting anyone...and this certainly isn't.

Thanks. It's nice to know I'm not alone in how I feel and esp this part:

He doesn't have to answer to anyone for how he makes money as long as he isn't hurting anyone...and this certainly isn't.

I guess everyone is pretty sensitive about Jared now, in many ways *sighs*
And some people can never find anything better to do than put other people down - especially wonderful people like Jared. Don't give them any mind. *HUGS*

I'm trying not to let 'them' get to me.

Perhaps I should just stick to watching his vids and not reading the comments but then I would miss the 99% of the wonderful remarks from true fans showing their support and love for him.

Well see? That's what you should focus on. I know Jared is. <3<3

Awesome. I want some McDonald's pancakes too :)

I did comment (with an eyewink ) that McD breakfast was very NonSamWinchester of him, because we all know that fastfood + RonaldMcDonald = scary combo for Sam ;)

Other than that I might be surprised to see those mini-ads pop-up, but I don't know anything about his motivation for doing them (as it is none of my business) , so I can only speculate in the area.
And neither minute maid nor McD alldaybreakie are available here anyway, so it can't even influence my shopping.

I just enjoy the snippets from his home life and seeing his adorable boys. And ignore the haters as I learned to do to keep my sanity

BTW Why has YANA been a fiasco??

*sighs* People are saying that Jared's only involved now as a damage control issue and they're blasting all the boys over it. Why can't he have been in on it from the start yada yada. It's all very ridiculous, but the fandom does do ridiculous well! O.o Also, the hate directed at Jared was sick and completely twisted. Guess what, tumblr strikes again!

I knew there was a reason why I only visit tumblr to look at pretty pictures.

Me too love, me too!

I'm confused. Do they think Jared didn't want to be a part of it? Does it matter if he isn't? I mean, he has a charity already, and Jensen and Misha are grown-arse men.

I actually found myself wondering if their experiences with supporting Jared made them want to start this charity. Given the title and all.

But seriously, people start an awesome charity and get shit for it. Logic?

*hands* Exactly O.o

Bless you...and Jared can do whatever and however he likes....**stoopid people****...x0x0x0x00

People can be so fecking ridiculous! Jared's a paid actor who supports a family and a fuck-tonne of charities, now yes MacD's has been associated with some truly heinous shite in the long dead past but for the love of...leave the man alone would ya! Every one needs to wind their bloody necks in and shut up, grow up and fuck off! *ahem* Sorry bb I just get so tired of hearing/reading that he's getting ragged on, all of them in fact! Leave them alone!

I'm not hating on Jared in any way and was enjoying that footage until right at the end. It came up on my LJ feed and I didn't read the tags.

Regardless of Jared's financial needs and what he chooses to do with his fee (charity or otherwise), I'm disappointed he chose to associate himself professionally and endorse a company which I despise morally and ethically.

Just my vegan opinion of course. If Jared's okay with McDonalds then fair play to him.

I think I'm quite sheltered from some of this negatively, but I'm glad for that, some people can only think in negatives and hate and I don't appreciate that in any way or form. I truly hope that all this stuff isn't getting to JP; I feel protective over him, maybe more so now given AKF and what that means to him personally. Some people are just so inconsiderate and rude; it's not our place to judge.

and there are already negative comments about him "selling out" and "only doing it for the money", plus criticizing that it's for McDonalds and not something healthier,

I'm sure that it was done to make some money, but who cares? It all seems like a real overreaction, but I suppose that fandom is known for that these days :(

I can't deny I was disappointed he decided to do an ad for McD's. But then I remembered he's an actor and needs to make money and he has to do it while he has some fame. That's just business. There's no need for hate - especially to jared himself. I think we can all have opinions about it (and man, I'd love to get hold of his management and shake them), but at the end of the day what we think doesn't matter. He's a grown man making business decisions - like many actors. And giving us cute moments to gif!! :DD

Before old age took McDonalds off the menu for me, I didn't see anything wrong with an occasional dinner being catered by Ronald. I *wish* someone had stopped and lectured me about what I was doing to my kid's health....

I get incredibly grouchy when folks say bad things about my boys.

I'm so grateful to miss most of the negativity, both about this ad and the YANA thing! I'm just grateful for these little snippets from Jared's life (so cute!)

I did wonder when he posted the picture of himself holding a Micky Dee's coffee cup a few days ago, but I get their coffee and all-day breakfast sandwiches occasionally too, so I was more like "up with the working class!" and "Good for you, Jared, not just promoting Starbucks and all the well-heeled coffee joints!"

Everyday I'm looking at my inbox and I found another 'hate' news. What's happening to people?

Being angry at Jared for the ad he's playing is no different than being angry at him when Sam does something you don't like in the show. He's an actor. He is paid for acting. People are strange!

I just remember Dean's comment on 'the monster at the end of the book: "for fans, they sure complain a lot."

Just saw this and thought it was kinda interesting

So many people who worked with McD - really not something that's worth the drama now made about it by some haters

Saw this on FB from a person who was at his HousCon M&G last weekend.

Jared talked a bit about his recent endorsements during the private VIP meet and greet. He's taking a lot of crap about the McDonald's thing but he's okay with it. He actually eats McDonald's, he crashed his car on a McDonald's run. He drinks Minute Maid daily. He said he refuses to endorse items he doesn't actually use. He's gonna be endorsing Chevy soon, every car he owns is a Chevy.
