[QUOTE="Rykion, post: 3701362, member: 33035"] I have managed to get a hold of part of McDonalds press release announcing the buy. McDonald's is proud to announce today that it has acquired Wizards of the Coast. The world's biggest roleplaying game company is the perfect fit for the world's number one fast food franchise. For too long the image of a roleplayer has been that of an overweight white male nerd. With this acquisition, we hope to change this stereotype to an overweight person of any race, gender, and social classification. The major hurdles for any roleplaying game have been distribution, sales locations, and social stigma. McDonald's distribution system can easily handle the added volume of WotC's hobby products. The numerous McDonald's restaurant locations are convenient to everyone, making it easy to find somewhere to purchase and play Dungeon & Dragons. The social stigma of roleplaying games will vanish as people see their peers enjoying our delicious food while playing in our restaurants. The brand will receive a slight change as it will now be McD&D... ;) It goes on, but that's the most relevant part. Oh and if the smiley isn't enough, this is a work of parody, albeit a poor one.
