Steve Hall over at AdRants has a funny piece on how people… In this case McDonald’s… Never seem to learn from fiascos like the Edelman screw up with the fake Wal-Mart blog. Seems like McDonalds has two professionally written scams out there… mcdmillionwinner.com which no longer exists as someone pulled the plug after they were exposed. But the other, 4railroads.com is still up and is supposed to be written by some dufus called, Stanley Smith, Mall Security Guard, Joliet. As his profile says… “I am a simple guy. I like riding my bike, reading a good book, surfing the net and playing monopoly. And I have yet to complete one of my quests in life, winning the McDonald's Monopoly Game grand prize.” Yeah right Stanley. It’s people like that – Multi-million dollar behemoths – That should know better.
Hey Stanley. What they don't tell you is that they pay the prize in Monopoly money!
