UH student pulls off impressive McDonald's ad prank at Pearland restaurant

Together, they created a pretty realistic ad, had it blown up and then dressed as employees using a McDonald's employee uniform found at a thrift shop.

After hanging the photo, the pair went back and found it was still greeting visitors more than seven weeks later.

Jevh shared how it all went down in a YouTube video posted on Sunday.

No word yet on whether McDonald's will allow the photo to remain on the wall.

did they expect management to protest?

This is not an accomplishment. This is symbiosis.

Everyone just assumes that someone else put it up.

I mean, it's not like they have their penis hanging out or something.

It's actually quite nice.
