McDonald’s has tasted the dark side of Twitter, following the launch of a marketing strategy involving the hashtag: #McDStories.
On 01/18, McDonald’s tweeted:
@McDonalds

You get the idea.
The McDonald’s Twitter account hasn’t bothered to refute all of the tweets. I can’t imagine how long that would take. It has been on defense lately though, it seems:
@McDonalds
McDonald’s.@peta That posting is absolutely FALSE McNuggets are NOT made from mechanically separated chicken. Only USDA inspected white meat. 1 day ago via web · powered by @socialditto
