Shouldn't that photo be of the Hamburglar?

I always thought that McDonald's should run one cycle of the game where they print millions of Broadways and only one Park Place. It would be the ultimate troll.

So can i sue McDonald's for improper odds, due to it being rigged. Even without their knowledge?

I remember that scandal well, but didn't know any of these details.

These people were all criminals, but what gets lost is that McDonald's defrauded Canadians as a corporate decision. The marketing people who made that call should also have gone to prison.

I was very much into collecting the game pieces when I was in my mid-teens, and to know that these assclowns were running this bullshit positively infuriates me. My chances of winning dipped from 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000002% to 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001%.

I hope everyone involved in this story gets hit by a ****ing bus.

I thought that level of corporate fraud is much more deserving of the FBI's attention than the people stealing the winning pieces, but what do you expect, I guess.

Amazing that no one remembers this other than the timing of the trial. Without 9/11 McD's would not have come out of this very well.

Are you suggesting Ronnie's Steakhouse had involvement with 9/11?
