G'day Everyone.
I was just eating lunch at McDonald's today. When I came home, I found this on the 'net in the AOL news.

Suddenly, I became VERY SICK about McDonald's. They secured the rights to every "McName" that people want to make because they own the prefix of "Mc". I was disgusted. A teen's life because she wants to have a festival to raise money for Special Olympics. McDonald's isn't budgeting from it's position. So now McDonald's wants to be a McBULLY in order to keep it's "Mc" name.
Well, this is a huge public relations disaster for McDonald's and they know it. The company is large and aggressive. Perhaps this is why it looks like it has peaked and the fall out is going to be large. Should this be the time for a judge to say "CLOSE McDonald's FOREVER", this would be it. Any company that gets into "Mc" stuff and beyond should be a time to have it's business cut down back to it's McRoots.
I think this girl's McFest should stay where it is, in her name and not among McDonald's names. When was the last time a "McFest" held by McDonald's? I say McNEVER in all of it's years of it's business. I have to see one McFest used at all by them.
So I ask the public to stop going to McDonald's. Whatever you would pay for your lunch from McDonalds, I would suggest you donate it to the Special Olympics! Shame on you, McDonald's. Even Ronald McDonald would walk away from you for good too.
Semper FI!

McDonald's isn't the only company guilty of overaggressive and/or being overprotective of their trademark names. Even Microsoft did it. Look up Mike Rowe Soft.
There's a whole lot more out there waiting to be found with a little looking.
