Return of the Mac stoops to new lows

Has McD's lost it? It's one thing to promote your corporate identity, but to actually get rappers to say 'Big Mac' and then pay them for it according to airplay! They must be running scared of the healthy eatting lobby...

Wonder if they would be paid if they included 'Big Macs are ****' in the lyrics

The problem is most grown-ups won't buy something just from hearing it, but kids are very easily influenced. Of course, 6 & 7 year olds shouldn't be listenting to hip-hop given the amount of bad language, but 12+ will and still be influenced.
