I don't know about you but I enjoyed looking for prizes in the McDonalds' contests. It seems a shame that the games were rigged:

I did that whole monopoly thing a few years ago, I think I gained about 30 pounds in less then a month trying to win a damn prize. :mad:

I ussually win free food, but i've never really tried to win the cars and stuff. I always thought they were rigged anyway.

The biggest pisser is, McD's didn't do anything wrong & they're the ones stuck with the PR nightmare. Big Macs for all....

You mean to tell me I went through all those trash can for nothing! Bastards! :mad:

I think that all the people that played for prizes should be outraged. There ought to be public hangings.

Hangings? Where? I'm there!
