McDStories, marketing, McDonalds, backfire, public relations, media

Straight out the “Tell Um How You REALLY Feel” box comes this story about McDonald’s and their poor PR move better known as the #McDStories campaign. Maybe McDonald’s should have watched that Wack-Donald’s episode of the Chappelle show before they decided to add a hash tag and sat back expecting the pubic at large to wax poetic about the greatness that isn’t McDonald’s.
