Robber sings Big Mac's praises

2008-07-18 11:42

Miami - A man who held up a McDonald's at gunpoint when he was a teenager 14 years ago is now promoting the restaurant's signature sandwich in song.

Tamien Bain is among five finalists in the fast food chain's contest for a new jingle promoting the Big Mac.

Bain was arrested in May 1994 for the holdup, when he was 14, The Orlando Sentinel reported on Thursday.

He was charged as an adult and served 12 years in prison, where he became interested in making music.

The 29-year-old says he was up front with contest officials about his past when applying for the MySpace.com/BigMacChant competition.

The winner gets a trip to Los Angeles and their song featured in a national McDonald's ad.

This appears to be a very sophisticated well planed strategy by Russia and China.Every one having its own strategy and agenda to bring down the USA.In the 1970 and 1980 the arms race brankrupted the Soviet Union now Russia which was the USA strategy.They are now playing in the hands of the USA enemies and make sure they got advanced weapons which could lead to many thousands of casualties and distruction.The USA now needs more friends than ever before and all wants money while the USA goverment is drowning in its debt.Any attacks from Syria will get the US directly or indirectly involved.Another war and many more billions of dollars to fund it.Support the new Syrian leadership financialy ot keep terrorist away many more billions gone.How long can the USA hold up. Vladimer Putin the former East German KGB spy got serious unfinished business with the West but in particular the USA.He wants revenge with deadly consequences ans could not achieve while he was President of Russia.This man must not be at any stage by underestimated.He is on a mission that will make the whole world sit up in shock. China with its economic might will become a force to be recken with millitary wise in the future.They will have a deadly arsenal of weapens that will make any nation think twice to go to war with them.
