   McDonald's Videogame is a Not-Put-Out-By-McDonald's Corp. spoof game! But while it is funny, there are also some quite possibly real truths to be learned about what it takes to get our quick lunches across out the drive-thru window. Here is a bit from the site itself:
"Making money in a corporation like McDonald's is not simple at all! Behind every sandwich there is a complex process you must learn to manage: from the creation of pastures to the slaughter, from the restaurant management to the branding. You'll discover all the dirty secrets that made us one of the biggest company of the world.
 For decades McDonald’s corporation has been heavily criticized for his negative impact on society and environment.There are inevitably some glitches in our activity: rainforest destruction, livelihood losses in the third world, desertification, precarization of working conditions, food poisoning and so on…
Denying all these well founded accusations would be impossible so we decided to create an online game to explain to young people that this is the price to pay in order to preserve our lifestyle.
We’ll continue on our way, with our well-known determination. Join us and have fun with us!"
Interview:
An interview with one of the creators of the game on Gamasutra :
In the past five years, however, a burgeoning international community of designers has sprung up across the Internet. Amid the bite-sized, casual time-wasters and flashy Flash games, a brave experimental fringe has simmered to surface, bringing us a host of free games that throw away the umbrella, seeking to make a political or social message.
The latest of these games is la Molleindustria's The McDonald's Video Game, which gives the player "the opportunity to discover all the secrets behind the fast food restaurant that is one of the biggest companies in the world." In this interview, Gamasutra chats with Paolo Pedercini of la Mollindustria to grill him about the game so to speak. Read more of this interview...
