Customers at the Kilmarnock branch of fastfood chain McDonald’s were given fifteen minutes of free Internet access with the purchase of a £1.99 (US$3.10) MegaBreakfast.


The outlet was told to close down the service, however, after it was discovered that people were able to view pornographic images using the service, reported Ananova.


A spokesman for McDonald’s said: “Until we can find a way of firewalling this facility, it will stay closed. The Internet is a great service for customers but we can’t allow it to be abused like this.”
