Oh, McDonald's. How did you get it so wrong?

As Paddy's Day is fast approaching, so is the release of the Maccy D's Shamrock Shake.

But, its new ad campaign basically has absolutely nothing to do with Ireland.

The video was released on Twitter and shows a man playing the Shamrock Shake as if he was playing on bagpipes.

Bagpipes are Scottish.

Then, Stonehenge appears on screen.

Stonehenge is in England.

Of course, there was outcry from Irish fans the minute it went up, and some of the backlash is brilliant:

Let's be fair – we're the creators of the Shamrock Shake… well, McDonald's is, but Saint Paddy is our saint, after all.

And each year, to celebrate St Patrick's Day, the fast food chain whips up the infamous milkshakes to delight us all.

Even though it's just a beverage, the anticipation for it to hit the restaurant is pretty high – but this year it's going to be even better.

Yep, instead of just the one shake (that's so last year), Maccy D's is coming out with four new flavours, and we're already looking forward to tasting them.

According to Brand Eating, the new flavours are going to be chocolate, frappe, hot chocolate and mocha.

The frappe version features a chocolate chip frappe blended with the Shamrock Shake syrup, and the same whipped cream and chocolate syrup topping.

Now you can't beat that.
