In my school we use to have certificates sponsored by McDonalds and were rewarded with McDonald’s vouchers. (the school was very chavvy). this is only a big deal now because we are all getting health conscious (in the media at least), I’d hate to be a kid now be a bit shitty really
My 10-year-old’s near the top of his class, wins character awards and doesn’t miss school. He also can’t stand McDonald’s.
Go figure.
Maybe this is a conspiracy between the government and McDonald’s to “dumb down” bright, socially-adept kids by giving them lousy food so their brains won’t develop properly and they’ll become a couch potato like so many others instead of becoming intelligent adults who won’t be so easily manipulated by commercial and government interests.
Just a thought.

Hello
I'm a creative/digital consultant that blogs about brands, technology, cats and other things I stumble upon whilst perusing the interwebz.
And I'm also founder and director of Shed, a brand new consultancy specialising in web participation and social media for human brands and beings like BView and Green Thing.

There’s just something very wrong indeed with it. Very wrong. Did you call your teachers by their first names?!
[…] It’s actually not a ridiculous stunt, unlike this. […]
