Games can change the world

Or can they? Watercooler Games reports on a supposed McDonalds Interactive game for training managers that resulted in global catastrophe as long as existing business practices were applied.

Via this post on Wonderland.

Comments:
It was a good hoax by (probably) the Yes Men which managed to fool most people simply by presenting a pretty solid set of facts; the only hoax part was them being anything to do with McD's (which has no such subsidiary).

Good show, though.
 
how's your groin today?
 
This advert brought to you by:

GroinPro, Inc. - caring for your groin since 1962.

"How's Your Groin Today?" (TM)
 
I AM NOT THAT OLD! 1962??
 
Her fashion sense may seem like it comes from 1962, but the rest of her is far more up-to-date.

The groin remains problematic.
 
fashion sense from 1962.
your groin problems are about to get worse.
 
The most innocent comments wreak the most destruction. I just chose 1962 because I didn't want GroinPro, Inc. to be one of those fly-by-night-dot-com Groin-care companies. I wanted an established Groin-care company. One you could trust with your Groin-care.
 
Somehow, I don't think I'll be trusting ACG or GroinPro Inc with my groin care any time soon.
 
I have references. ;-)
 
MTV news gave it a nice writeup!
