McDonald's 'Make Burger History' Site Hijacked With Offensive Burger Ideas (stuff.co.nz)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Stuff.co.nz: McDonald's New Zealand has been left with egg on its face after a raft of bad-taste burger suggestions customers forced it to quickly take down its new design-your-own-burger website. The company launched its "Make Burger History" site this week, as part of a new promotion where customers can "build your own unique burger" and get free fries and a medium soft drink. "Just come in to a participating 'Create Your Taste' McDonald's and order your Creation at the self ordering kiosk," McDonald's promised. But its failure to consider what pranksters might dream up online has left the company red-faced, with the website overrun by racist, homophobic and otherwise offensive suggestions. The page now redirects to the McDonald's homepage. The burger concepts ranged from the mild, such as "Bag of Lettuce" (literally just a pile of lettuce leaves) and "The Carbonator" (seven burger buns, no filling), to X-rated, including "Girth" (a stack of seven undressed burger patties) and "Ron's Creamy Surprise" (a pile of mayonnaise, best left unexplained). But many went totally tasteless, creating burgers with names like "Mosque at Ground-Zero," "Rektal Prolapse" and "Toddler Body Bag," some of which ended up on the website's front page before it was shut down entirely overnight.
How many times is this going to happen before corporations realise if you give people the chance to publish the names of something they'll come up with shit like "Hitler did nothing wrong" and "Fapple".
A bullet may have your name on it but splash damage is addressed "To whom it may concern."
As opposed to the corporate connected felon who will CERTAINLY get us nuked, and nuke a few countries of her own just to show she can?
After all, between Trump and Hillary, only Hillary has actually started any wars.
I don't know, Trump is the one who is openly advocating nuclear weapon proliferation in southeast Asia, which may actually be the very worst political idea I've heard yet in my 40 years.
Give it a month and he'll say something worse.
If he actually gets in don't worry about him because he's all talk. Carefully watch those around him. Cheney got up to all kinds of mischief due to there being a weak President that wanted a title but didn't want to actually do the job.
That's reason not bigotry. Bigotry is hating a little girl wearing a head scarf in your street because some guy on the other side of the world is hacking heads off for what he claims are religious reasons, but are really not.
Remember Manson and Jim Jones both tried to put the blame on Jesus.
Strange, I thought it was hating the headscarf because it's a means of coercive punishment going as far as wearing a full bodybag in those countries on the other side of the world that like hacking peoples heads off while he states it's for religious reasons and the imams and madrassas tech that it's for religious reasons.
Om, nomnomnom...
I know there are some misguided women who wear it as a personal choice because they are so proud to believe in their particular version of the Imaginary Superbeing, feeling the need to show everybody how much better they are because of that, and are somehow oblivious to how it is used to oppress women in many parts of the world. But for many it's not a choice at all, and that's what's wrong with it.
Is it really a choice when if you don't wear the right clothes your brother may strangle you and brag about it?
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
