I never said they forced anyone to eat it.. they use their deceptive advertising and adding toys to market to the children. Can you imagine if it wasnt made available. How many health problems would or could be avoided.Comment

Honestly McDonald's does not cause people problems. Putting toys in a meal is not why parents go there. They go there when they either do not want to cook or do not have time cook. You can also get healtier food there. When I eat there I get a yogurt parfait and a fish sandwich plain. Many people are unhealthy because of their poor food choices. That is not any fast food chains fault.Comment

For pictures that are supposedly causing $3 million in emotional distress, they sure aren't easy to find...
How hard would it be to set up a scam such that you "forget" your phone in a McDs, a friend picks it up, quickly uploads the pic somewhere public and puts it back, then the couple calls McDs to "keep the phone secure" until they can go back and pick it up? I'm too lazy to look up the exact details of the situation but just sayin'...especially after the McDonalds coffee lawsuit a long time ago, I wouldn't put anything past people wanting to make a quick buck.Last edited by PornMD; 11-23-2008, 03:42 PM.Want to crush it in mainstream with Facebook ads?

That was my first thought after reading the news article.
McDonalds has little choice other than fighting this in court, no matter how much it costs, because if they don't, zillions of other people will try doing scams centered around purposedly leaving cell phones, usb sticks, cameras, etc in McDs restaurants.
On a related note, many establishments provide WiFi service, which, to me, seems very legally risky ... because many of them do not post disclaimers / warnings that such data may intercepted by others.

You sounded totally flabbergasted by the accusation that they engage in deceptive advertising, etc.
Sure, everybody needs to take responsibility for their own choices . . . including huge corporations that need to figure in the business cost of unethical practices like targeting little kids for their brainwashing ads. I think it's funny how eager people are to cast McDonald's in the "victim" role here.Comment

Did you fall asleep during the movie and not remember or absorb anything beyond that? I'm not saying it's rocket science, either, but I'm also not one of the people in this thread acting like they can't possibly conceive of McDonald's being guilty of ANYthing. Apparently it *is* rocket science for those people who don't realize that McD's (and tons of other corporations and business entities) will do anything and as much as they can get away with to make a buck. Sure, we consumers have to assume responsibility for things . . . but does that mean corporations shouldn't have to shoulder ANY responsibility? That's just nuts.Comment

How about an example of their "deceptive" advertising? And how does that have anything to do with your comment?
Do they advertise their coffee as being lukewarm? Did they ever say that if you eat there daily it would be good for you?Originally Posted by Trixie View Post

I guess you've never heard of the phrase "long term effects".
I'm not saying I believe McD's causes cancer, I'm just saying that your logic is flawed. Just because someone doesn't get cancer in a month or a year or in five years from something they did for one month, doesn't mean that they won't get it later or wouldn't if they'd done the risky behavior for a longer period of time starting when they were younger.Comment
-
Did they ever advertise that their coffee is as hot as magma from the core of the earth?
Just because I don't feel like spoonfeeding you information that you'd clearly REFUSE to believe anyway because you've obviously been brainwashed into thinking "all lawsuits consumers bring against corporations are frivolous and detrimental to society" doesn't mean it's not out there. Google the shit or read a book or something. For real.Comment

I know you're overwhelmed by the variety of issues and situations brought up in this thread: there are more than one. It must be a challenge for you to get through life when things are complex and you NEED to simplify them (like when you "figured out" that I'm a tranny -- same problem yet again with you not being able to comprehend that there's MORE THAN ONE PERSON listed in my sig/we are all not one).
For future reference, I am not a tranny. Furthermore, a relatively small proportion of transgender people have surgery on their genitals.Comment

deceptive and false.. two different things. You can google. Its no secret that corporate america targets children to sell their garbage..its not only McDonalds.Comment
-
The thing is that the pics were apparently forwarded over to someone, so why not look up phone records and contact the number it was sent to, chances are, the person sent them to himself, then go after him, even though he probably doesn't have much if he's working there.
I don't think McDonalds should be sued over one of their employees in a case like this. Hell, if that's the case, I'm gonna have a friend start working there, take some pics of myself fucking my wife on my phone, then leave it there, then have him pick it up and "secure" it for me, and post the pics online, so I can sue them for a few million, then give my friend a cut.Comment
-
yeah ok.. keep slinging useless rhetoric. I do have kids..from adults to young ones. No, I do not make it a habit of taking them to McD's because its garbage. But once that child starts hanging out with their friends and go to fast food places without my approval..there is little I can do but to lock them in a cage.
I have found several articles online where McDonalds were made to change the way they advertise because they were deceptive. Here is just one. Dont have time to do a bunch of research just to prove to you that corporate America targets children to sell their shit and McDonalds is a cesspool. You should be aware, you are smart..right?Comment
-
I didnt say that happy meals were for older kids..did I?
Glad you were entertained, although I doubt you bothered reading it. Fact.... McDonalds was legally made to change their deceptive practices. You asked for one example and I gave it to you.
I hope you eat that shit...lolComment

I'd like some McNude Mobile Porn with my fucking fries pleaseComment

Are you being deliberately obtuse or what? You act like you're living on another planet and have never heard McDonald's try to pass their shit off as "healthy". Anyone living in this universe should be able to at least concede that them using that word at all to describe anything within their walls is laughable, at best.
And YOU are calling ME limited? Jesus. You're too stupid and lazy to make a few tiny connections and take a little bit of effort to figure out that just because the word "tranny" is my sig line that I'm not one.
Thanks for the reminder that I must have my head straight up my ass for assuming that you have the capacity for higher level thinking. Dead wrong, I was.
This thread is making me hungry for nuggets and floppy cheeseburgers.Comment

Sorry couldnt respond sooner was on the road after shooting for 2 days.all this talk of mcd's made me stop at one on the way home and it was tasteless as i remember.Typical... Maybe re-read what I said. Just because YOU wouldn't do that doesn't mean people don't. And because YOU don't doesn't mean they don't have a case. I mean if you were a lawyer you wouldn't be peddling porn so your opinion amounts to
just as mine does. BUT...
I said that to see how you would respond and it was typical and ignoring of the comparison.
Shit happens, you forget something somewhere, you address it as soon as you are aware, you make contact, business says, "We got it... We will hold it for you." Where in ANY of that did it make it okay for his phone to be looked through? Were in ANY of that did it make it okay for images to be removed from his phone? Were in ANY of that did it make it okay to post those images on the web?
Obviously not everyone is as "Perfect" as you, but that certainly does not mean a wrong wasn't comitted here. And if you don't think there was I am not sure what that says about you.
I was wrong about it not being stealing. i was posting between waiting for models not 100 percent in the moment. im far from perfect i have lost eyeglasses,montblanc pens. for the past 4 yrs i travel out of state for 70 percent of my shoots. i have never left behind sensitive material be it tapes,compact flashes, model releases etc. if i was carrying a phone full of stuff i didnt want anyone to see i would be very aware of it at all times. as far as suing mcdees, first it might not of been a mcd employee could of been a customer, it might not of happened at mcd at all. posting pics could be someone looking for kicks.posting pics and full name and address is someone who has an agenda possibly someone who hacked his phone or it was a set up to try and get money out of mcd's.
think about it, that happens to you is your reaction to sue mcdees for 3 mil?
as far as my opinions this is a msg board and that's what happens on it be it right or wrong or something you agree or disagree with.im sorry if i upset you didnt mean to.Last edited by tony286; 11-23-2008, 09:32 PM.Comment

Frys is cool - they have tons of computer parts cheap. Only place in town you
can actually see a server case in person before buying it. I'll take Fry's.
I used to talk smack about McDonald's, but they have gotten a lot better.
I get their fruit and yogurt parfait. Their new whole wheat bun thing on
my wife's chicken sandwich is really good bread. (She can't eat bread or
anything made with flour, so I eat the top bun). That's once every couple
of months when we stop there. Unlike some parents I know, who tell their
two year old "do you want Burger KIng? Do what I said now and we'll go
get Burger King", we won't be taking our kids there more than a few times
per year at most. Yes, the parents I know who bribe their kid with Burger
King are obese and their two year old is obese. Strangely, I live near a
McDonald's and I Wendy's and my wife and I are thin - because we behave
like grown ups and make our own decision not to super size it three times
a day.
I'm not surprised to hear people tear into McDonald's. Some people think
it's the companies selling us stuff who should monitor our consumption of
it and make sure we're healthy, while other people think individuals are
responsible for our own decisions. What's strange as heck to me is that
most people who blame the sellers for over consumption think pornographers
are responsible for at least much bad as McDonald's, creating all of these
perverts, damaging marriages, keeping people at home spending money
whacking off all the time instead of getting out into life. That's ridiculous,
of course, your customers are basically responsible for their own decisions
and have to monitor their own consumption of porn, not way over doing it.
We all realize that, I think. Can you not see that you are responsible for
choosing how much to eat and what to eat just as much as your customer
is responsible for choosing how much time to spend on your site and which
site they want to go to?For historical display only. This information is not current:

You didn't upset me... and I agree that suing McDonalds for millions is ridiculous but it isn't surprising in this sue happy "ME" generation. What got me was it appeared you didn't think a wrong was committed and my writing comes off more aggressive than it really is.
Hope you trip went well...

They will sue and it will either settle for a large amount or they will win. Remember when McDonalds was sued because there coffee was hot! That was a ridiculous law suit and the guy won!ICQ# 419 775 271

If I had forgotten my purse behind and I called and was told they would keep it safe and then I turned up to find that an employee had gone through it not just to check for an ID to confirm it was mine but to look at all my pictures, maybe try out some of my make up, etc then I would be upset.
Now, I get that if that sort of messing around in my property was done by somebody who found it and then gave it to the employees then it isn't their fault. However, if it was done by one of the staff then it is, if nothing else, highly inappropriate.
Same deal with the phone. If it is an employee deciding it was okay to go through everything on my phone then that should be a firing if nothing else.Comment
