Tamien Bain didn’t need to steal the Big Mac Chant?

In 1993, Tamien Bain, aka “BAiNG The Locksmith”, held up a McDonald’s at gunpoint.

Tamien was 14, and spent 12 years in prison for his crime.

Now 29, Tamien is one of five finalists for the McDonald’s Big Mac Chant competition, out of a field of over 1,000 submissions, and if he wins, he will fly out to Los Angeles where he will record his jingle for a national TV spot.

You just can’t make stuff like this up.
