This is scanned from a full page ad in the Irish Daily Star newspaper 13/3/02, with a circulation of 90,000. The name tag 'Bertie' could only refer to one Bertie Ahern, Irish Premier, following allegations that some of his educational qualifications are falsely claimed.

As if ripping the p*ss out of the country's so called 'leader' wasn't enough, the text of the ad then seriously claims that a job in McDonalds provides 'outstanding training' and a 'great working environment'. You can just see the marketing department rolling on the floor laughing as they let the ad go to print. There's no need for subvertising on this one.

The text in the ad reads:
