"casting call" news and stories

Are you the next Ronald McDonald?!?!

Ok, so it's not really a clown casting call. McDonald's has put out a global casting call for the new faces to adorn their packages that started yesterday, and will end May 31, 2006. The casting call is open to anyone and everyone, and simply requires candidates to upload a digital picture of themselves and submit a story in 100 words or less about what they love - anything. Their website doesn't even specify that the story has to be about why a person loves McDonald's. I wonder if the person even has to eat McDonald's.

The photo shoot will be in August in London for the lucky "winner."
