McDonald's marks 50th

[dArKeR]

Open a newspaper and find stories about people suing McDonald's because its food supersized them, its coffee burned them and its fries were secretly cooked in beef-flavored oil.

Turn to the dictionary for a word that means low-paying, low-skill work and find "McJob" -- a term that makes McDonald's a bit McAngry.

Walk into any business school in the US and chances are students are studying the company.

Watch TV and get bombarded with commercials that stick in your head so well that parents can still recite "Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun" years after the ad went off the air.

A South Korean dressed up as the trademark character of McDonald's fast food restaurant chain, Ronald McDonald, takes part in a rally opposing the company's child-targeted television advertising campaign in Seoul, South Korea yesterday. The protesters also aimed to discourage the consumption of fast food, which they claim is unhealthy, ahead of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of popular fast food chain McDonald's.

1. Ummmm...

McDonald's was established in San Bernardino in 1949 by the McDonald brothers. They're about six years too late for a fiftieth anniversary.

2. celebrating crap

Fifty years of pushing high-fat, high-sugar, white flour, partially hydrogenated crap on the public. McDonald's doesn't sell food, it sells "food products".
