The last time I ate McDonald's, I arrived in Pasewalk, a tiny town in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, on a much delayed train at 2 in the morning. They where the only place that was open, and I hadn't eaten since noon.
That burger was kinda OK, but it might have been the circumstance. They stopped selling vegan burgers anyway, so whatever.
Why use a Google link shortener with tracking, instead of linking to the Hollywood reporters site directly.
Or, more to the point, why use a Google app that replaces links you want to share with redirects?
