check out this excellent slam at mcdonald's in costa rica.....

some artist put up an excellent piece of work on a wall of a vacant building near the mcdonald's in san pedro. i saw it and the next day i went back with my camera and it was torn down, probably by the owner of the mcdonald's franchise.

so, yesterday while on a bus in san pedro, i saw an identical work on a wall a little further down the street from the mcdonald's. i returned later with my camera to capture it.

i hope you all enjoy it as much as i did. it really captures the essence of mickey dee's:

screw mcdonald's.

I wouldn't eat there for money.

We cannot wait to get to your fair Country.

....check out the birding group to see my latest post about the beautiful birds i saw in "la carpintera" today. it's a long way from playa dominical....i was up in the higher elevations east of san jose.

Brilliant photo - thanks for sharing it!

...mcdonald's sells horrible food with absolutely no nutritional value but markets it as everyday food for families.

sure, mcdonald's is charitable. they ought to be, they're filthy rich. even chimpy and cheney donate to charities.

...as for donating money, probably not. people here in the third world don't have gobs of cash laying around so they don't need to set up charities to get tax breaks. people here are mostly just trying to make ends meet.

been able to figure it out....

...i've read a little about this and information is usually vague on the subject.

but trust me, we're definitely the third world down here. and places like mcdonald's are bad for many reasons. first of all, mickey dee's and other big burger joints have long supported the beef industry in the third world and that meant locals cutting and burning rainforest to have more space for more cattle to keep up with the demand for burgers in the US. additionally, the presence of the places like mcdonald's in the third world means more and more people will be drawn away from the local businesses, putting more small business owners out of work.

so, if you dig mickey dee's because of the charity work they do, that's cool. i'm with you. but their business of selling crap food is disgusting and i'd like to see ronald macdonald tossed to the crocs here in costa rica.

and never really 'caught on' anyhow.

....it's certainly cheaper there. other than that, i don't know. i would probably pick panama over nicaragua. costa rica is more expensive than either, but it's certainly more stable here.

wall for some reason, too

....hide the potential dangers of eating too much of it.

sure, people should know better...but, these fast food places should be held accountable for poisoning people if they refuse to improve the quality of their food.

freakin' think about it.

How friendly are they about immigration?

...to my GOP fiends. I mean, "friends."
