McDonalds Virus

Wherever in the world you go you bet you can find some McDonalds and Japan is no exception. We do get stuff that you probably don’t get where you are. Teriyaki Burgers, Fries with a sprinkle of Seaweed seasoning, the occasional prawn dumpling and how about a batch of viruses?

McDonalds recently had a “win an MP3 player” thingy http://akiba-pc.watch.impress.co.jp/blog/archives/2006/08/mp3_1.html" target="_blank">like the ones you see here. The problem with these MP3 players was that when you attach them to your PC, Trojan horses, Worms and Spyware was also installed at the same time. You can see signs in McDonalds in their attempt to recall all units…

Would you like some viruses to go with your Burger and Fries sir?
How embarrassing!

How to get rid of those Viruses by McDonalds.

BTW, the girl in the pic is Yuri Ebihara who is the image girl for McDonalds over here.
BTW2, because the Japanese generally pronounce “L” and “R” in a similar fashion, when you hear the tagline “I’m Lovin it” in commercials, it sounds like “I’m Rubbing it”… Remember folks, you don’t need to tell others when you are rubbing it. Keep it to yerself.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.
