In many ways, the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles represented a major change for the modern Games. The sporting event had long been noted for its financial losses, a lasting burden on the vast majority of host cities. In a move never seen before, Los Angeles brought corporate sponsors on board to help shoulder the Games’ costs. The decision proved profitable, as the ‘84 Olympics earned more than $200 million thanks largely to the influx of endorsements and advertising. However, one major promotion continues to live on in infamy and it belongs to McDonald’s. The concept of the fast food giant’s ca...

The Linguini Incident bombed in 1992 after newbie director Richard Shepard, who was 25 at the time, saw his plans crushed by a tight schedule and lack of editorial control.
