Wow.I hate to say this,but anyone who would click on something like this deserves what happens.A little common sense people.People need to ask themselves,Why on earth would McDonalds sponsor a promotion like this??What would they have to gain from this??Answer:NOTHING.God,this kind of stuff relly gets my blood boiling.And as usual,there will be a few that fall for it.Pity.Thanks for sharing.Will be sure to warn my wife about this,as she is quite naive about these things.
