Do you want fries with that or a free Java ME McFlurry?

Well Supersize me and call me McHinkmond McWong! McDonald's is launching McCoupons using Java ME technology for your cell phone.

See:

Sending text message from cell phone gets you a fattening dessert

Here's a quote: 

 Depending on your carrier 
 and your phone’s capabilities 
 the coupon will either be 
 sent out as a SMS, a WAP 
 page or a J2ME app. The WAP 
 and J2ME are powered by their 
 patent-pending mCoup technology.
Great. Now Java ME technology will be blamed for heart disease, stroke, and colon cancer. Like they couldn't offer a nice salad coupon or tofutti sundae coupon instead? ;-)
