This is just an epic fail. Original tweet and video have been deleted. Still does not make me angry in the least. Just makes me laugh at how ignorant even somebody high up in a large corporate chain is. You know the guy responsible for this marketing ploy makes at least 6 figures.

nomascows Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 If you are a white, hetero, male, the only thing you are allowed to complain about is how the bag of money that fell out of the sky for you hit and broke your big toe. Other than that, your life is Easy Street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJSUMFA2013 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 The existence of McDonald's offends me. If suddenly every car required the driver to pass a breathalyzer before it would start, they'd lose about half their business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
