McDonald's Commercial Follow-Up

Looks like McDonald's did pull the ad due to complaints.  

While the bleeped spot generated a few complaints, causing the company to pull it, Edwards said it's pretty obvious that they are referring to a different "F"-word. For instance, the ad copy calls for the actors to say "for free" instead of just "free" so that it is clear.

Once again, pushing the envelope is the excuse used for churlishness.
