Bizarre Incident Unfolds on Father's Day
Chinese Netizens Create and Spread Fake Poster
In celebration of Father's Day, a fabricated McDonald's event poster has been circulating widely on Chinese social networking services (SNS), sparking controversy.
On June 22, Chinese media outlet Dasang News reported, "A poster featuring the McDonald's logo and the phrase 'You are the best' is spreading on SNS, but it is a manipulated image."
The poster claims that anyone who visits a McDonald's location nationwide and shouts "I am your dad" to a staff member can receive a complimentary Father's Day set meal. However, it has been confirmed that this is not an official McDonald's event, but rather a fake poster created and distributed by a netizen.
According to Dasang News, this fake poster has caused significant confusion at local McDonald's restaurants. One McDonald's employee said, "There is no event being held in connection with Father's Day," adding, "Many customers have come to the restaurant after seeing the poster, only to be disappointed."
