McDonald's Cans Disastrous Twitter Marketing Campaign

McDonald’s just put the wraps on its horrific #McDStories Twitter ad campaign, after a slew of tweets like the one. The LA Times notes that McDonald’s canned #McDStories within two hours of its launch. However, they decided to keep another Twitter campaign, #MeetTheFarmers, going for awhile.

We’re guessing that one isn’t going to last too long either.

These ones are fun too.

A little lesson in social media. When you’re a multi-national corporation with an ethically/environmentally questionable business model, don’t peddle your bs advertising campaign in an interactive environment.
