McJob:

McDonalds is objecting (again) to the use of the term "McJob" being used in dictionaries. They object to the definition which is more or less:

"an unstimulating, low-paid job with few prospects, especially one created by the expansion of the service sector". (Oxford English Dictionary).

McD claims this term is "an inaccurate description of restaurant employment" and "a slap in the face to the 12 million men and women" who work in the restaurant industry.

Oh, do fuck off.

I hate McDonalds. Never mind that they sell crappy food and ruthlessly target children with their heinous clown; never mind that their marketing is insidious and duplicitous. They are trying to protect and perpetuate their lie (we care, we sell good food. we are your friend, we are kind people concerned with you and the welfare of your children) by silencing any criticism of their practices in any form. I fundamentally oppose any coporation that tries to silence free speech and that is prepared to bully people who object to their vulgar business practices. While it's impractical, I know, to avoid all the companies who do this (as I'm sure most do/would) I have chosen McDonalds to boycott. I haven't eaten in one for years, and will not give them any money. In n' Out manage to sell burgers of a certain quality; why not McDonalds?

And if there is any doubt about their rapacious, greedy corporate nature, take a look at the McLibel Trial (Below). It's reason enough to not give this company any more money. And I know there's a Quixotic element to boycotting one of a million nasty companies; however, one can but try.
