#McDStories: McDonalds Failed Twitter Hashtag Promotion

Don't know if this has been done here yet but was just reading about this and the sample tweets were so hilarious, I nearly pissed myself laughing like I haven't done on Datalounge in years. McDonald's is so stupid.

• that's funny.

• Hilarious. I think I'll have a Big Mac for lunch.

• . bump

• They McFucked themselves.

• For some reason the actual tweets don't appear for me in that story, including the original one from McDonalds.

• Are you on a phone? If so, scroll down and click to see the full site. It's still a difficult site on a phone due to banner ads that won't go away.

• Meh. Now take the PS3 master key re-tweet. That was epic.

• Some Tweet from them kept coming up in my Twitter and Facebook feeds, posted by other people: "What's your favorite thing to order from the Dollar Menu?" After the fifth or so time I answered: "My favorite thing to order from the Dollar Menu is DIABETES."

• Big mistake. They shouldn't have tried something like this when they know that they have some very vocal detractors.

• I only see four tweets. Are there more? This reminds me of the Bush Cheney campaign in 2004 put "Create your own campaign slogan and put it on a sign" section of their webpage. Mistake. Not only this, but it took them a while to catch on to what was happening and there were dozens of slogans skewering Bush et al. Some were brilliant. They might still be out there somewhere.

• They're lame, OP. Not funny.
