Mcdonalds Corporation is Monopolizing Sweepstakes and Mister Moneybags in the Credit Crunch

Growing up I loved playing the game, the one played on hard cardboard, not a piece of glossy paper or even online, but when the Mcdonalds Corporation brought its 2008 Canadian version Monopoly sweepstakes promotion, with its 2000 controversial fraud scandal behind it, in line with the American edition that continues to be the most popular game in the industry amongst those with lower income, less education and quite obese according to various studies published and readily available to most anyone.

Unlike the actual game and contest, the credit crunch allowed those who could not afford it to buy the most expensive properties, taking a trip across Boardwalk down the Golden Arches Avenue to buy Park Place, only to find themselves seized and forclosed to either the banks or federal government as their interest and value depreciates, not collecting a tax debate or two, not able to pass go or keep going on as they are bankrupt and instead being taken directly to jail or federal penitentiary.

Keeping it real is learning of fast food franchisees unable to secure loans, lines of credit or even personal tradeoffs as restaurant operators, even those running the shop have to pay the bills to keep it running, still at the end of the day, whether their aim is strutting down either Wall or Bay Street, anyone stuck eating tons of high fat and carb and low prot food made fast and eaten faster to win big, as the sun lowers, usually remains walking down the same old Main, King or Queen Street.
