McDonald's is the greatest restaurant EVER! (and other internet fallacies)

Don't believe everything you read on the Internet.

Except what you read here on this blog. I'll never lie to you.

Promise.

Since blogging is a surefire path to the poorhouse, McDonald's decided to pave that path with a little green -- bribing bloggers in an effort to solicit positive reviews. And they didn't ask us?

The company reportedly has thrown parties and given gifts to as many as 400 McDonald's friendly bloggers. And there's more -- McDonald's reportedly flew 15 bloggers to their Illinois headquarters last year, put them up at fancy hotels and gave them a tour of their facilities.

 

They even tossed cash to some "mommy bloggers" to rave about the high nutritional content of Micky D's 'wholesome' meal choices.

Now if you believe that, well...
