A guy serves 12 years in prison for robbing a McDonalds at gunpoint. Years later he joins MySpace and becomes a finalist in a jingle writing contest.. for McDonalds..

Big Mac Chant

McDonald’s teamed up with MySpaceto create a new jingle for the 40th anniversary of the Big Mac. The original song (two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce…) was created back in 1974. Over 1,000 user created songs and videos were submitted – the winner’s jingle becomes the official Big Mac song and will be featured in a McDonald’s Big Mac TV commercial.

Enter 29 year old Tamien Bain, who held up a McDonald’s at gunpoint when he was 14, was convicted as an adult and served 12 years in prison. He’s also one of the five finalists in the jingle competition (no. 4, the guy with the white tshirt and baseball cap).
