It's Worldwide Anti-McDonald's Day!

by Merry Hatebear Friday, Oct. 17, 2003 at 8:36 PM

October 16 is Worldwide Anti-McDonald's Day!

Today marks the 19th annual Worldwide Anti-McDonald's Day! This is a day of protest against the promotion of junk food, the unethical targeting of children, exploitation of workers, animal cruelty, damage to the environment and the global domination of corporations over our lives.

To read information about this day please go here:

http://www.mcspotlight.org/media/press/releases/msc240903.html

And please go to the main site as well to get information about the problems with McDonald's (and downloadable materials to use to go out and protest your local McDonald's!):

ugly, tasteless

by Meyer London Friday, Oct. 17, 2003 at 9:04 PM

McDonald's symbolizes what corporate America is all about - ugly, tasteless, labor exploiting, cruel to animals, unhealthy, plastic, wasteful, dependent on moronic advertising. No wonder people in France, especially farmers, go berserk and try to burn these so-called restaurants down. They should all be bulldozed. The corporate headquarters should be turned into a monument to tortured animals and a giant veterinary clinic. All of its profits should be seized by the people and used to feed the needy with vegetarian meals. The corporate exectutives should be put to work restoring natural habitants for wild creatures.

You've revealed yourself as a typical left-wing psuedo intellectual snob.

McDonalds may no be up to your high standards but it provides a square meal at a decent price. The other allegations you made are just rumours.

Worldwide Anti-McDonalds Day?

by nonanarchist Friday, Oct. 17, 2003 at 10:50 PM

I'll tell my wife; she'll be interested.

She's a manager at one of the local Mickey D's.

But I think I can guarantee you there won't have been a dollar's worth less business today.

You see, the sort of people who would avoid McDonalds today are the sort of people who would never go there anyway.

You know who I'm talking about...the people who are so interested in telling other people how to live their lives.

burger

by burger lover Friday, Oct. 17, 2003 at 11:13 PM

hamburger is so tasteless anymore, compared to 15yrs ago, when it had real-good hamburger taste. Mcdonalds or store bought it's all the same downgraded stuff. too bad...I really miss it.

I avoided McDonalds today.

by Anarchist Saturday, Oct. 18, 2003 at 6:05 PM

I'm happy to say that as soon as I learned that nonanarchist's wife worked in my local McDonalds, I avoided the place knowing that she was likely assisting the male employees in making semen filled vanilla shakes.

Where, exactly, is your local McDonald's?

I guarantee there are no anarchists anywhere near where I am.

The locals don't take too kindly to such anti-American scum.

UPDATE

by nonanarchist Sunday, Oct. 19, 2003 at 4:02 PM

My wife noticed absolutley no difference in business on the 16th.

Like I said, the only people who would observe the boycott are people who wouldn't visit McDonald's anyway.

It's like non-smokers getting together and agreeing to not buy cigarettes for a day.

Pointless.
