    I can’t imagine that it would be that easy to do so because of all the prior art that exists before this promotion. However, I love this idea. It reminds me of the theory that the reason Disney named the 2013 movie “Frozen” was so that if you search “Walt Disney Frozen” you won’t get a bunch of stories about how Walt Disney is cryogenically frozen.

      I don’t know, it just seemed like something scummy enough for a megacorp to do. I am not promoting like, conspiracy theories or anything. Just a thought I had when I saw they actually called it “WcDonald’s.”
