It all started in August when McDonalds Japan in association with Coca Cola announced a contest, where a MP3 player was awarded upon sending the unique number on the Coke glass as a text message. In all 10,000 winners were announced and each got a Mac branded flash DAP preloaded with 10 tunes. However the MP3 players were infected with QQpass a very dangerous malware. So your PC is infected once you connect the DAP and it starts logging and transmitting username, passwords and other vital information. McDonalds Japan has apologized and set up a 24 hour helpline for those affected by the spyware loaded MP3 player.

McDonalds Japan has also set up a private inquiry to look into the matter.

*Cue people attempting to act sophisticated by saying otherwise*
Posted by SpeedfreakYou don't have to pretend to be sophisticated to know thta most fast food is pretty terrible.
Posted by AntYour title of the thread suggests that McDonalds did it on purpose. After reading the story it seems as if it were a mistake.

Posted by ShadeArbys is actually one of my favorite places to eat. =\
Posted by Grave WisdomAhh, I love fast food.
Arby's is great.
Posted by IrisFast food tastes all right from mainstream chains, but it's usually disgusting if it's from anywhere else. Anyways, it's only gross regardless if your stomach can't handle it or if you consider how bad it is for you to make a habit out of eating it.
Posted by Grave WisdomI have fast food once a month, if that. Usually, I just make my own dinner.
Posted by ShadeMy diet is strictly Arbys, Taco Bell, pizza, and ramen noodles.
