Big Mac Attacked

November 21st, 2002

In the wake of the news that McDonald's will be taking product placement in games to a new level in The Sims Online, Tony Walsh suggests that a game as flexible as The Sims offers plentiful opportunities for ad-busting while online. I particularly like this one:

  • Picket the nearest McDonald's kiosk. Stand in front of the kiosk and tell visitors why you think McDonald's sucks. Be careful not to use foul language or hinder the movement of your fellow Simians. Polite protest can't result in your account getting suspended… can it?

    I love this idea.

    Presumably the next step is for some McDonalds to offer some Sims work as security guards, so they can escort the protestors away from the store entrance because they're blocking pedestrian traffic.

    Then some other Sims will become lawyers and sue McDonalds, and before you know it there'll be a Sim Supreme Court ruling as to whether the protestors had a right to peacefully protest.
