McBacklash of the Day: McDonald’s this week become the latest fast-food giant to learn an important lesson about trying to force a Twitter hashtag meme based on a marketing campaign.
That lesson? Don’t.
You’d think Wendy’s failed attempt to make #HeresTheBeef happen would have prevented McDonald’s from making the same mistake with #McDStories, but you’d think wrong.
After Mickey D’s official Twitter feed tweeted an self-congratulatory quote attributed to a “McD potato supplier” (since deleted) along with the hashtag #McDStories, it didn’t take long for Twitter users to turn the trend-forcing on its face and offer up their own, less flattering “McD Stories.”
#McDStories quickly became a gushing stream of badvertising. Until this morning, that is — when it turned into a gushing stream of news stories about how badly McDonald’s failed.

Ms. Bosanek, who is Warren Buffett’s secretary, will be joining Michelle Obama in the first lady’s box seats during the speech, Stephanie Cutter, deputy manager of the Obama 2012 campaign, said in a Twitter message. That’s where presidents typically put their poster children in order to put a human face on a policy point.
When Newt Gingrich isn’t on the attack, he isn’t any good.
While shooting jumpshots at my health club tonight and ignoring the South Carolina primary, I came to a realization. I’ve been thinking about 2012 all wrong.
It’s not about who will win the GOP nomination. It’s about who will fail to lose it.
Congratulations to Newt Gingrich! Winning the South Carolina primary is like being the richest guy in the shelter.
Romney: I’m so against a woman’s choice.
Santorum: I’m way more against a woman’s choice than you are.
Gingrich: Frankly philosophically historically, I’m fundamentally against those Saul Alinsky Radical feminists more than you. Because I’m a historian.
Paul: Hi! I’m a doctor! So my training tells me women should not have a choice.
Fact: Newt Gingrich treats women like they are property.
Suspicion: So perhaps we can find his ex-wives listed as depreciating assets on the tax returns he disclosed during the debate. Does anyone seriously think he’s a decent-enough person to not do this?
