Big Mac Offer Brings Down Government Website
06th Sep 2007
A Japanese government website crashed as people raced to take up an offer of a half price McDonalds burger.
People were asked to check up to 39 boxes on a form they could download from the Environment Ministry's website Env.go.jp/en, each listing a way of reducing carbon dioxide emissions blamed for global warming.
Most hits on the website were just after 9am on Tuesday, indicating many people were thinking about Big Macs as they started work.
