Yesterday, as I was entering McDonald's for work, I was greeted by a huge poster on the glass door with a Sony PSP on it. I didn't have time to check if I was hallucinating or read the text, but luckily the rest of the restaurant was also full of postings regarding the new PSP giveaway. Basically, you get chance to win a PSP or other prizes for buying a Big Mac or a large fry. Some details can be found here. The official site of the program is PlayAtMcD.com, but I found the site distracting and unhelpful. It's still worth checking out for a laugh ;) and you need to go there to enter your "MAC Code" for the giveaway. Would working at McDonald's increase my chances of getting a free PSP?—Let me fantasize about the possibilities again—No, because McDonald's employers are not eligible to enter
. :( I suppose I could still save money—quit job—buy Big Macs, but I probably don't have the luck anyway.
Still, I'm proud of my employer's display of great taste. This seems to be a step in their campaign to attract young, tech-savvy
customers. I also learned recently that McDonald's is a sponsor of Bleach, an anime series I'm following. This has raised my level of respect for McDonald’s a lot, and I might actually enjoy my work better because of it :)
Tomorrow (I mean when the sun comes up next time, which is soon) is a day off from work for me. Hopefully I'll be able to use it to post something interesting. My friend Justin, who started blogging two weeks later than I, has much more interesting content on his blog, and is now a contributor on BlogCritics.org, so he can write reviews on his blog and they will show up on the site. That will probably bring him many more readers! I'm a little jealous, and I plan to apply too, as soon as I'm sure I can find things to review on, and be able to review often :) I know most of my readers are also bloggers, so I suggest you try it too, as Justin also recommended.
