~~~ NOTE FROM CHRIS: ~~~
Fast-food goliath McDonald's has chosen a new
slogan -- I'm lovin' it. The slogan is part
of a new marketing strategy that will include
TV spots with vocals by Justin Timberlake.
The U.S. launch is scheduled for September 29.
Since they chose such a lame slogan, don't you
wonder about the ones they rejected? We did....
