I work at Wendy's and that sign I put up was 100% real. However I wasn't terminated for my actions. To answer your question, sometimes in life your dreams will drive you to the extremes beyond this world. My mixtape downloads were not doing the numbers as expected, so in order to reach my goal I knew I had to do something absurd and of the unthinkable. After I noticed it started going viral getting 100 likes within the first 10 minutes, I knew from that point on my plan had worked.
