Chicken Little and Chicken McNuggets: McDonald's to Offer DVD Rentals

"Would you like fries -- and a film -- with that?"

Hoping to boost profits with a new revenue stream, McDonald's is offering a DVD rental service in six trial markets across the country. The service allow customers to use automated kiosks to select and rent movies at a cost of $1.00 a day. Assuming the trials are successful, these kiosks could become commonplace among the 13,000 McDonald's restaurants in the U.S.

Check out a full article on the service here.

So, parents: does this sound like a convenient new way to rent movies, or yet another reason your kids will have to nag you to head under the golden arches?
