@floraposte:

Adolf Smitler apparently went to Natrona County High School.

As the above comment indicates, this is where not researching before posting leaves Consumerist wide open to libel suits. Despite McDonald's (and Consumerist) reporting it as fake...there will be people who still believe it is real and McD's is only covering face...

Hopefully this blows over...because I would think McD's legal team is a little more competent than Cash4Gold's (look at how - despite losing the lawsuit - they turned public perception in the hot coffee incident)...

@NickelMD: Possibly because we don't exactly have nuclear technicians working the drive thru.

@behrens: Good point, and once I looked at the name closely I realized the fake, but at first glance I missed it-the signature was not my focus.

So I only just now saw that part.

@MostlyHarmless: I was more depressed by the big C reporting it as real without any investigation whatsoever...

And by the people who continued to think it was real after the big "Parody" tag was smacked on it.

Hahahahahaha!

The Burger in a Can, followed by the Big Mac make me very hungry for burgers...

"practices the highest standards of consumer ethics and would never encourage employees to act in a way that undermines our core customer values"... Perhaps the problem is that these highest standards are being lost in communication... erm I mean translation. No literally, I rarely see a McDonnalds around the DC area where even the manager can speak enough english to receive a complaint properly. And sadly no I am not overexagerating.

@MostlyHarmless:

...I think you don't have a point. How about instead of playing "if you don't know I won't tell you" you just say what you think your point is?

Sorry, but not everyone is some huge brained genius that knows every damn politician on the planet like you.

Thanks for the compliment though :)

I always knew I was a genius, it feels nice to have others confirm that too.

Robert Trugabe + "Let us not document this thing I just documented" + Leaving stuff out of every third order = Fails the smell test.

Now is it impossible that this could happen? No. But it is very very improbable. More precisely, the probability of it being NOT a fake is 2^267709 : 1 against.

Everyone knows you don't leave stuff out on the third order, you do it on the 30th order. That way you can still have a 97% positive feedback.

Dude, whatever - I don't fucking care who this guy is or where he was from. The bottom line is that given the large amount of very similar stories (people stupid enough to video tape themselves putting boogers on a pizza and serving it and then posting it to youtube? Who would have thought!), that this one would seem plausible too.

Sorry, but not everyone is some huge brained genius that knows every damn politician on the planet like you.

So to sum up: bite me.

@MostlyHarmless:

...because, clearly, it is impossible for anyone to live in Australia that doesn't have an Australian-sounding name?

I suspect many Australians are also blissfully unaware that Robert Mugabe has gone from being President of Zimbabwe to Prime Minister of Australia.

...but if employees can save money, they are encouraged to do so.

If you did not, then you were not paying attention during your Future Wives Coaching programs.

@MostlyHarmless: I'm just bitter about fast food in general.

I could swear to you that the KFC near me has this tactic on purpose. I've tried to order food there (inside, with Mr. Aroo) about 3 times.. and every single time they leave something out. Usually MY stuff.

The last time we went there was the LAST time. He ordered a meal and I ordered a popcorn chicken snack box. Then we got home and it WASN'T THERE. He accepted the food while I was getting the drinks, and I assumed that he checked it. I told Mr. Aroo not to even go there anymore on his own because I don't want to give those idiots any more of our money.

Though I was slightly disappointed, and mostly depressed at the number of commenters who thought this was real.
