McDonald's marks 50th
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.

And this protester should get an illegal use of trademark suit inter alia slapped on him immediately! Talk about stupid!! How dumb can it get? By upholding the intellectual property (trademark) rights of McDonald's of its Ronald McDonald character, also upholds the rights of others who have title to trademarks . . . simple, really.
