McDonald's: No Deal To Announce

Thursday November 6, 2003 10:58 am PST by Arnold Kim
MacMinute notes a statement from McDonald's regarding today's rumor about the McDonald's and iTunes giveaway.



According to McDonalds, "There are no agreements to announce, so anything else is pure speculation."



McDonald's goes on to say that they are continuing to pursue "bold new initiatives in the areas of music, sports, fashion and entertainment" and that news can be expected in the coming weeks to months.

This is very much a non-statement.

They don't say anything except there is no official deal announced yet.

I would like to announce that I'm not officially buying a lot of quarter pounders and I'm also not officially gaining ten pounds. This is all pure speculation.l

Shouldn't this have been on Page 2 rumors then? Since it was unconfirmed? Just curious. :)

I would think this would be a boost for McDonald's biz. They may be pulling an Apple tactic and somehow this got released before they wanted to announce, isn't the Monoply thing still going on, why would they want to step on their own clown feet...

Sorry for the second reply to this but I fully announce that if Apple and McDonalds do this I will gain 15 pounds and eat all my meals there. I've got to maintain my belly and music somehow...

Wasn't there a movie where someone said that you shouldn't believe a rumor until somebody denies it?

After posting that there's no deal on Yahoo. Yahoo posts this
http://biz.yahoo.com/rc/031106/bw_leisure_mcdonalds_downloads_2.html

shortly after.

This says to me that it's about to be annouced but someone leaked the info.
Apples stock just went up with talk about this deal and so did McDonalds.

Ahah! Funny



1) 10:23 AM — New York Post announces a 1000000000 McDonalds iTMS give avay — Apple stocks go up.

2) 1:58 PM — McDonals make non-statement statement — Apple stocks go down.

3) 2:30 PM — Yahoo says that the deal was about to be annonced when it was leaked — Apple stock start going up again.

Might be just a coincidence but funny anyway.

edit: by the way, I love how this graph updates in real time. ^_^
