McDonalds Japan recently ran a contest giving away 10,000 MP3 players preloaded with 10 songs. However, the players were preloaded with QQpass malware - which transmits usernames, passwords, etc. off your computer. McDonalds set up a 24-hour hotline to troubleshoot the problem. Most conversations go something like this:
"Hi, welcome to McDonalds."
"My identity has been stolen because of your shitty MP3 player."
"Ok sir. Is our food unsafe for consumption?"
"Well...uhh...yeah, I guess."
"But that's why it's so tasty, no?"
"Sure, I guess."
"McDonalds also thought that unsafe music could be extra good, too...but if you're watching your credit line..."
"No, no, I'm not."
"Then would you like to try our new McSledgehammer. It's really, really bad for your computer."
"Sounds delicious!"
Comments
tsk tsk tsk, when will they learn...
Would you like fries with that spyware.
Welcome to McDonalds, would you like to try our new adware combo? If not please continue with your order.
Yes, I'd like 1 trojan horse value meal, 2, no make that 3 macro viruses, and a large orange drink.
"Would you like to reformat your harddrive for only a quarter more?"
Heck, why not, oh, and can I get 4 hot Mydoom pies?
"That be $7.94, please drive to the next window and have your personal information ready."
Would you like a "free" lypo kit with your meal?
Alright guys, cut them some slack, will ya?
What makes you think that the DAP would be one bit better than the food??
(pun intentional)
I don't care if it is free. Pulling a bright red MP3 player with the "golden arches" all over it in public is social suicide. One ounce of self respect: no identity theft. Problem solved.
