...by of all folks, the masters or marketing, McDonalds themselves!

So you eat your quarter-pounder with cheese meal (super-sized) and spot a competition.

Firstly you tear apart you diet-coke container to reveal a secret code that has to be typed into a web-site to see it you have won.

This is www.itv.com/popstars but it actually gets re-directed to http://www.popstarsonline.net/.

Amongst all the bollox is an advert for MaccyDees containing the words "POP&TXT", so another click here takes you to http://www.mcdonalds.co.uk/popstars/.

After typing in your "secret code", e-mail address, date of birth and bank PIN number (ok, i was kidding about the PIN ) it then fails miserably with some coding error.

Running Windows software is bad enough, without the Internet (which used to be fairly reliable running UNIX and VMS etc) itself now being a pain as well as crapping out all the time.

The kids of today must be scared of crossing the road - not because Tufty might get upset, but in case the tarmac blue-screens!!!

McDonalds - decent burgers but crap softare!!!!

Totally agree!...and how many kids have thrown their drinks everywhere trying to see if they have won???

McMuppets!
