The UK remake was even worse, after the hired the stars of Peep Show:


Where the PC is known for being loveable and well-meaning, if a bit awkward, and the Mac is a narcissistic and arrogant sexual predator.



Is that David Mitchell?

So was there no class-action suit against McDonalds for that monopoly bullshit?
I specifically went there as a kid stupidly thinking the more fries and drinks I bought, the richer I would be the next day.

How is any of what happened even remotely legal at the customer-end?

Not for this case, but I was involved in a class action against McD's way back. I was keeping the game pieces in my car and got the 3rd piece to win a HP 386 computer (:wow:). Sent them off to McD's, most excited, and got a letter back saying "ah no you didn't, you obviously used last year's pieces to try and get your prize now go away." I kinda went "meh" after that until a legal letter arrived, saying "sign this to join the class action", which I did. We promptly and comprehensively lost the court case, I went "meh" again and still eat their crap despite being officially called a filthy cheating liar and being denied my sweet HP tower.

Obviously what happened was that a big stockpile of the previous year's cards got sent out as well, but McDonalds is big enough to deny it and win. Who cares really
