Looking to capitalize quickly on the Supreme Court Ruling that allows corporations unlimited financial involvement in elections, McDonalds Corp. has announced it will soon begin a new contest called “You Pick the President.”

“We’re tremendously excited about this new promotion and feel it will help our entire business structure,” said new McDonalds spokesman John Roberts. “This is a chance for individuals to really get involved in a Presidential Election.”

To enter the contest, consumers need only purchase: Medium and Large Fountain Drinks, Large Hot McCafe, Hash Browns, Angus Burger, 10- and 20-piece Chicken McNuggets, and Large Fries.

“Each time you purchase one of these items, you’ll get a scratch-off game entry piece,” said Roberts, who is also the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. “One lucky person will be an Instant winner.

“The winner will then tell us who they want as President,” added Roberts. “As long as the person selected is over 35 and an American citizen, we’ll make it happen. If you want Gilbert Gottfried as President in 2012, it’ll happen. If you want to be President, it will happen.”

Official Game Pieces will also have an online game code printed on them (both property and instant win pieces). Enter the code online at McDPickThePrez2012.com for a chance to win more prizes instantly, like picking which Senator you want to have represent your state, or picking who will be the Mayor of your town.

The game at the stores begins on October 6. There are tons of prizes, including free food, cash, gas cards, my coke rewards points, xbox bundles, politicians and more!

“This is a real chance for individuals to be involved in real U.S. McDemocracy,” said Roberts, “While enjoying delicious McDonalds food. McDonalds and Corporations deciding elections – I’m Lovin’ it!”
