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.

    It's why I almost want to vote for Trump even though he's a pompous vapid xenophobe who may get us all nuked.

    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.

    There is a third choice you know.

    Unlike you, I'm not trolling, just informing people of seemingly forgotten history and options.

      Here is the thing.

      Republicans have spent hundreds of millions of public tax dollars trying to prove hillary guilty of anything.
      They can't do it. You can't call her a felon until she has been found guilty in a court of law.

      Does that make hillary fit to be president? not in the least bit. but she isn't guilty of the crimes you think she is.

      Al Capone, couldn't cover up his crimes the way republicans think hillary has. Hillary is the best con woman, The best mafia boss, to ever exist because no one can use evidence to link her to any of her purported crimes. Even the emails. They can't charge her because if they do 30 republicans have to go to jail with her because they are doing the same thing RIGHT NOW.

      Hillary is a b!tch I don't like her, but no one can be guilty of anything and live in the spot light like Hillary has for 30 years. If hillary sneezes republicans spend a million dollars to find out if she gave someone a cold. That is how deeply republicans watch her every move.
