McDonald’s Running ‘Original Olympics’ Woman in Labor Ad

A reader reports having seen an Olympics related McDonald’s ad that incorporates giving birth and the tagline, “The Original Olympics.”

I heard a rumor that McDonald’s has an Olympics themed commercial featuring pregnant women and women in labor under the banner ‘the original olympics’ referring to giving birth. I haven’t seen the ad — report came from WI so maybe its more localized — but I thought it was an interesting take. Reportedly doesn’t feature any food products, etc.

Has anyone seen this or have more info on it?

UPDATE: Answer in Comments thanks to Durinda.
