Ronald McDonald Murdered on McBirthday !
As Frej Jackson wrote in his precedent article, it was the 50th anniversary of McDonald on the 15th of April. In France, it was the 25th anniversary of this symbol of the US culture. To "celebrate" this date, some unknown people stole a plastic statue of Ronald McDonald (the forever-smiling clown, mascot of the brand) during the night and hung him under a bridge of Lille's beltway, in the North of the country. The word "mondialisation" ("globalization") was written upon it in large letters. They also hung a ball and chain to his feet, probably to be sure that this symbol of the "malbouffe" (literally "bad food") would die... but the employees of the fast food found him in the morning and brought him back home. Alive, and still smiling. Ronald is now being analyzed by the police, which is searching for fingerprints...
