That would be press releases disguised as news about as well as a dame at a panto. McDonalds has been in Swindon town centre for twenty-five years.
Swindon Centric Says ; 25 years, it feels like more. Oh wait... no that's just heartburn.
McDonalds, the company that is giving A-levels and is trying to get the word 'Mcjob' removed from the dictionary has gone one better. In a press release not even thinly disguised as news, the local franchise is willing to sponsor football teams needing the money.
As the owner and operator of all the town's outlets, Paul Booth, says himself that they've sponsored teams over the past three years.
Swindon Centric Says ; If this has been going on for the past few years, what's so special that deems this news? Selling food with high fat, sugar and salt content and promoting fitness at the same time seems two-faced at best and irresponsible at worst.
Sometimes, satire based blogs and other sources of current affair based comedy don't even have to bother to get a laugh, hence yesterday's announcement.
Swindon Centric Says ; Employees note, you can get an 'A*' grade on these A-Levels by using a star from your name badge.
The heavy lobbying by McDonalds to get the word 'McJob' removed from the Oxford English Dictionary seems to have flown under the radar recently.
A multinational corporation pushing to have an English word removed from English dictionaries? Seems like a real-life version of Big Brother.
Swindon Centric Says ; Will McDonald buy a pallet of dictionaries and burn them if the word isn't removed?
