BTW, the guy who wrote that game is wrong in saying his version is unique to the web. Burgertime has been around since 1982.

Subject: Complaint about your website

To Whom It May Concern;

Upon returning from a birthday party at one of your restaurants in Atlanta, my ten year old son wanted to look at the Fuddrucker's website. Normally, I am very restrictive on what Joshua may view, but I was confident that the content on your website would be child appropriate.

Much to my dismay, my son became very upset at something he saw on your site. When I went to investigate, I discovered numerous pop-up browser windows detailing how cows are killed and slaughtered, and ground into hamburger meat! This information was thrust upon him when he clicked on a link to a game called "BurgerTime" from your so-called "Fuddrockers" page, which appears to be intended for children.

My child is still upset, and it has taken my wife almost an hour to calm him down. Now he has said he will never eat a hamburger again, and has been repeatedly apologizing for helping "kill the cows".

I am absolutely appalled that you post this sort of information on your website. It is my duty, as a parent, to teach my children where meat comes from.

I can safely say that my family and I will never step foot in another Fuddrucker's restaurant after this traumatic evening.

I dont get it, since when do people NOT want to get publicity? Where did fuddruckers say the game was theirs?

You make a game and then someone links to it for people to play (he has it on the web, so he MUST want people to play it right?) and then get mad when someone helps people find it?

It's not that, they didn't give him any credit for the game, thereby implying it was their own.

Wow, why would you redirect to Google instead of put up a "site down for maintenance" page?
