The Defamer correspondent for ironic celebrity endorsements on the Continent sends in this dispatch about an ill-advised marketing opportunity that the French division of McDonald's apparently couldn't pass up. It's a good thing that the metric system renders "Quarter Pounder" nonsensical, because the twins posing on a poster suggesting their cumulative weight is probably the only thing that could have been funnier than their schilling for fast food after Mary-Kate's quickie graduation from eating disorder camp.

All the French McDonald's feature currently the same poster for the current special offers. Guess whose face is featured to make us salivate about Le Big Mac, Le Royal Cheese (remember the second scene from Pulp Fiction) and Le Menu Happy Meal? The Olsen twins.

We weren't really informed here that one of them had some kind of (officially) slight eating disorder, so few people could find this cross promotion with the French release of New York Minute somewhat dubious. I can only praise McDonald's for pursuing their collaboration with the twins and I'm really looking forward to similar operations starring the angular Lara Flynn Boyle or Calista Flockhart. Nevermind. Two weeks after being released in France, New York Minute sank without a trace.

The cute picture of MK and Ash is from McDonald's French website. Click it to go to the site, select "Entrez," and let yourself be washed away by the poppy soundtrack and flash animations that perfectly evoke the McDonald's experience—if you're tripping face and sucking down burgers while painfully skinny chicks pretend that they're full.
