So sad :-( but sadly not surprised :-(
Feb. 17th, 2016 01:00 pmJared posted this vid to his facebook page:
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.
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

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….

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.

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.

Date: 2016-02-17 06:37 am (UTC)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….
