: macdonalds restaurants are essentially nowhere. if you are in bombay, beijing. sydney, new york or amsterdam it does not matter if you happen to be in a mac cathedral of consumerism. you are nowhere-anywhere, no-time/anytime, you only exist as a snout in a trough. get in, get filled, get out, you have no meaning, you are just a unit shifter, a demographic, a consumer. IT IS IMPORTANT TO RESIST THE DOMINATION OF MONOCULTURE. IN AUSTRALIA WE HAVE AN EXOTIC PEST CALLED CANE TOADS THAT ARE WIPING OUT SECTIONS OF NATIVE FAUNA
: MACDONALDS ARE THE CANE TOADS OF HUMAN CULTURE!

EXCUSE ME!!!!! I'm sure you think it's wonderful to stand up for the environment, but in such a way ??!!?? I'm a greeny and I wouldn't stoop to such levels! How dare you single out those countries, when all the problem is contained in your perception and YOUR head!

McSpotlight: If you actually read the message, you'll see that the original poster wasn't singling out any countries except to highlight the fact that they contained McDonald's branches; a fact in the public domain anyway. How was the original post blackening the name of anywhere except McWorld?
