McDonalds Kidnapping Tweet: Tacky or Nice

USA Today tries to decipher whether McDonalds’ tweet in the wake of the Ohio kidnapping story was tacky or nice. Charles Ramsey, the neighbor who helped free Amanda Berry from the house where she and two others were held cative for 10 years, told news camera after news camera how he heard Berry scream while sitting down on his porch to enjoy a Big Mac. McDonalds interpreted that as a PR opportunity, tweeting “We salute the courage of Ohio kidnap victims & respect their privacy. Way to go Charles Ramsey — we’ll be in touch.”
