The unholy Farmville McDonald's alliance

The video takes on a sarcastic and humorous tone, but McDonald's and Farmville hooking up for a day is true.  The monetization of Facebook to the next level, I suppose.

A few days ago, during a conversation with a student, I told her about the millions of dollars Farmville and its parent company, Zynga, earned last year.  Initially surprised, she later thought it was possible because of her familiarity with friends who spend hours playing Farmville.  I didn't tell her that according to Zynga all the Farmville players in Facebook are considered as beta testers of the game :)
