McDonald's and Sony Offer Music Downloads

J ROC writes "CNet reports that McDonalds and Sony are teaming up to offer free music downloads to customers who buy a Big Mac Extra Value Meal. The offer, which begins on June 8, offers customers an access code to download one free song at Sony's Connect online music store. Hmmm, let's see, about 600 calories in a Big Mac, an average of 12 songs on a CD, so that's about 7200 calories you will need to consume in order to get an album's worth of music (and I'm not including the calories from the fries and softdrink). Does this offer also include a free gym membership?"

But the active people are much less likely to sit on their asses for hours at a time perusing a bunch of song titles deciding which one they want for free.

And active people eat Big Mac's too. They just dont eat 3 of them at a sitting every day.

And if you think eating 3 of McD's taco salads instead will make you thin and attractive, you're a moron.

I'm tired of seeing everyone complaining about how it comes with the BigMac meal only. McDonald's is a BUSINESS. They will do as they like. If they want to promote thier less healthy (but possibly more profitable) foods, then they're free to do so! No one says you have to eat there. Save your $5 and buy 5 songs on iTunes.
