McDonald’s Seeks Willing Victims To Be Pictured on Its Packaging. Even better than having your mug hanging in the post office.
Want to get your face in front of 50 million people? Here’s your big chance — have it featured on a McDonald’s cup or bag.
The world’s largest fast-food company announced what it called an online casting call Monday, giving customers a chance to be featured on its packaging used daily in more than 100 countries.
As many as 25 winners will be chosen from consumers’ entries at mcdglobalcasting.com, where hopefuls must submit a personal story of what they love in 100 words or less — in any of 16 languages — and a digital photo capturing the essence of their story.
I could submit a story about how I love the free Wi-Fi at McDonald’s.. no wait, that’s Krystal. [Blog Post #2554]
This is a ruse for McDonald’s to create a database worth millions of dollars by free input from suckers/fame wannabees.
There’s a sucker born every minute.
How very Web 2.0…
It’s a bit like IBM’s relationship with open source 🙂
What’s in it for me if I let them put my face on billions of burger wrappers which get sent to city landfills alllll across the world (what an honor!)? Do I get money? fame? respect? Big Macs for life??? No thanks. Not interested.
