Condolences to the family, shame on the corporation

This past weekend, McDonald's took full page ads out in the Globe and Mail and other English-language newspapers to lament the loss of their CEO, Jim Cantalupo.

I wish heart failure on no one, but am dismayed at the cheeky ad-op the big fat corporation has seized on. Melodramatic full page with Ronald dropping a tear. Brutal.

I clipped the ad and, in true detournement fashion, carved it up with a big black marker and sent it back to the honchos at clown-land.

Here's the address if you are inclined to do the same.

McDonald's Restaurants of Canada Limited
McDonald's Place
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
M3C 3L4
Fax: (416) 446-3443

A plundering corporation making you dependent on shit you don't need.

While it's cheap, it's crap, and the welfare menu is NOT far off from being developed and implemented by some of the most successful exploiteers in the world.

The transient 'street menu', McCafe, and the Atkin's menu options demonstrate the glaring obviousness of mickey dee's cut and parsing market approach.

Something for everyone? More like expert political spinners, and the success of the simulation, where the burger becomes culture becomes more reliance on health care ... crank up the corn syrup.

Geography and pervasive media coverage. Sheesh.

Let them know they're reprehensible.

Also, see 'the corporation.' didactic, eloquent, pointed.

CMAQ: Vie associative


Collectif à Québec: n'existe plus.

Impliquez-vous !

 

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
