Big Macs make you phat
BBC NEWS: "McDonald's has offered to pay top hip hop artists to incorporate the 'Big Mac' into their song lyrics. According to Advertising Age magazine, the fast food chain will pay rappers up to $5 every time a song namechecking the burger is played."
Critics say innocent children may not know rappers are being paid to promote the obesity-causing product. But so what? Would it make any kind of difference? The best thing to do is give McDonald's enough rope to hang themselves. They'll demonstrate their
inability to know what hip is in no time. Maybe a little embarrassment would do the music industry some good.
