Creative designer Sean Click may or may not be working for McDonald’s, but one thing is certain: He just helped the company set a very dangerous marketing campaign precedent.

His seed bomb ad for the fast-food chain uses California poppy to “spell out” McDonald’s iconic golden arches. That’s all well and fine except for one small thing: California poppy is state flower protected from by picked, destroyed, or dug up under penalty of law.

In other words, Click’s McDonald’s ad is indestructible.

So, if you wake up tomorrow morning with a giant brand in your front yard that you aren’t allowed to remove, now you know whom to thank.

That's gotta be photoshopped, but that aside, even Wikipedia refutes the illegality claim:

A common misconception associated with the plant, because of its status as a state flower, is that the cutting or damaging of the California poppy is illegal. There is no such law in California, outside of state law that makes it a misdemeanor to cut or remove any plant growing on state or county highways or public lands, except by authorized government employees and contractors; it is also against the law to remove plants on private property without the permission of the owner (Cal. Penal Code Section 384a) California Penal Code (at FindLaw).
Click to expand...
So of course it can be removed by highway maintenance or contractors under the direction of the government.

I'm guessing it's just a marketing campaign for Sean Click, and so far it appears to be successful.

When I saw that touchdown at first, I was like, "Why the hell is he doing that? Is he showboating?"

Then someone explained to me about trying to run time out with a field goal.
