No point in boycotting American franchise owners over something done by Egyptian franchise owners.

I don't expect that the Americans had a say in it, and if this helps the Egyptian owners then Egyptians are even dumber than I thought.

"..to detonate some explosives of my own in the nearest bathroom.."

Sort of a personal jihad?

LOL!!----"Best of the Lot!"

Oh, I HOPE the "Corporate Weenies" @ McDonalds have enough sense to "Hold the Line!!"

There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY they can retain an American Clientelle if they capitulate to representatives of the culture which celebrated the murder of our fellow Citizens!

The Spineless Corporate Neuters who attempt to "Prostitute" an American Institution to the Culture which generated the amoral Murderers of Americans would be seen as "enablers" of said culture.

Absent a STRONG, UNEQUIVOCAL affirmation of it's American Values, "MacDonalds" is worthless "Post-9/11" Corporate debris!!

When we put our minds and resources together, we can come up with some good stuff. You get credit for the name "McMartyrs".

What in the hell??! I have never heard of such a weird, stupid name for a restaurant.

Sounds like a chain headed by Hannibal and Jeffrey instead of Ben and Jerry.

Naturally, it would cost an arm and a leg to eat there.

Manfoods??

Well, didn't we hear that Egyptian Terrorist Mohammad Atta was gay? Perhaps that's the demographic they're looking for. having said that, several more ideas along that train of thought come to mind, but I'm afraid this thread will get pulled if I say what they are...

Not very often, I'll admit. But sometimes in the mornings I get a hankering for an egg-muffin and a cup of gruesome coffee.
