WAVY News 10 has reported that an eight year old kid got a Nintendo 3DS for Christmas. It was a normal Christmas day, and the kid was accompanied by other kids.

McDonalds Has Shut Down Their Employee Site After Another Ridiculed Tip


McDonalds has finally shut down their site for their employees. It was infamous for offering tips which were rediculed by almost...everyone. Most recently, they told their staff that McDonalds' food is the "unhealthy choice". I kid you not. As you can see in the picture above, they called their own food unhealthy and told you to eat "healthier choices" such as "sandwiches that can be loaded with vegetables". McDonalds has released a statement regarding the site shut down:

We have offered the McResource program to help our valued McDonald’s employees with work and life guidance created by independent third party experts. A combination of factors has led us to re-evaluate, and we’ve directed the vendor to take down the website. Between links to irrelevant or outdated information, along with outside groups taking elements out of context, this created unwarranted scrutiny and inappropriate commentary. None of this helps our McDonald’s team members. We’ll continue to provide service to our folks through an internal telephone help line, which is how the majority of employees access the McResource services.
