It doesn’t help matters that I’m currently in Philadelphia, where there is currently no Apple Store. oh, well…back on the train to Montreal tomorrow. will have to take it in then.

Let this be a lesson to all: always, always, always have a backup solution in place and USE IT. Also, don’t cheap out and buy those POS LaCie drives. Spend a few extra bucks for a G-Drive. Your piece of mind is worth it. I know mine is.

Don’t be passive. Go tell McDonald’s what you think of this ignorance.

UPDATE (9/12/09): I have asked McDonald’s UK corporate office to comment on the policy outlined in the above notice. I’ll post their response when/if they issue one.

UPDATE (9/13/09): I’m starting to wonder if this is actually a clever hoax. First, there is no date on the document. Second, is a the use of the word “decent” when they really mean “descent”. Possibly just a typo, either way it is worth noting.

So my attempt to create the page has failed three times now. After each failure, I followed the “Customer Support team” link because I did, in fact, believe that they were in error to automatically bar my efforts to create a legitimate Page to promote a legitimate film. Twice before this have I filled out their little form, which includes little space for comment. I never heard from the Facebook support team before, and I seriously doubt I will this time.

You may be thinking, “if the word ‘slavery’ is causing the issue, why not shorten the Page title to just ‘A Past, Denied’?” It’s a simple and fair question to ask. My answer is also fair and simple: I shouldn’t have to.

Whatever Facebook’s issue is with the title of my film, they should speak up and say what it is.
