TOKYO (AFP) - A Japanese government website crashed Wednesday as people raced to take up an offer of a half-price McDonald's hamburger in exchange for pledging to fight global warming.

The Japanese unit of the US burger giant Tuesday offered a Big Mac for 150 yen (1.3 dollars), about half the normal price, to anyone demonstrating a commitment to preventing climate change.

Let's see. Over half of scientists think manmade GW is BS. More than half the population thinks it's an invented issue only for political gain.

Anytime you offer something of "value" for less than it can normally be acquired people will line up to buy it. This is a demonstration of economic principle, not a comment on global warmingmongering.

May I suggest that everyone that believes that humans are "destroying" the planet commit suicide (after they eat a big Mac in Japan, of course)

Fatten them up to die from clogged artiries! They have our jobs, our corporations and our money. They are killing us with tainted products. Guess it's only fair that we should jeopardize their health by now outsourcing the only things we have left, obesity, obesity-related conditions, heart attacks and eating disorders. Welcome to true capitalism, folks!

I don't remember hearing about anything being recalled from Japan. That would be China.
I guess to you, they all look the same uh?
And we wonder why the rest of the world hate us so much... Loud and condescendingly obnoxious.

Please stop knocking McDonalds and other fast food outlets.

Without them the unemployment in America would be 60 percent.

We will soon need a new deal.
The last capitalist total collapse was in 1929.
the previous in 1837.
1929-1837=92
1929+92=2021

getting close to total capitalist collapse.
In fact it could come any time. it is like an earthquake. they come every 100 years, but not on exact schedule, but with 78 years since the last one we are close.

There was also the Depression of 1893. too....

Democratic President Grover Cleveland (1885-89) was defeated by Electoral College votes by Republican President Benjamin Harrison (1889-93), grandson of Whig President William Henry Harrison (1841). His administration served the wealthy and elite. President Harrison was defeated for re-election by the former president, President Grover Cleveland (1893-97)

He was blamed for the depression and with the exception of President Woodrow Wilson (1913-21), the Republicans held the White House until 1933 and the Congress until 1931.

Stop knocking McDonalds because someone might lose his job? Ow, poor him. On the other hand, if we all took a listen to Noam Chomsky, I'm sure he could find us a way to stop breeding ever more of these stinking, farting cows for a sleazy profit and keep our wellbeing as well. I'm not saying wealth because most in the West don't NEED the wealth they have, they WANT it sure, but they need only 5% of what they have...I say screw employment but screw McDonalds and Western 'economics' harder!

And even more for libs to feel guilty about. Don`t drive. Don`t even walk!!!


"Walking to the shops "damages planet more than going by car""

"Walking does more than driving to cause global warming, a leading environmentalist has calculated."

I know how much libs enjoy being on guilt-trips, so here is something else for them to feel guilty about;

"Human greed takes lion's share of solar energy"

"The human dominance of this natural resource is affecting other species, reducing the amount of energy available to them by almost 10 per cent, scientists report."

What kind of sick McLogic is this.... If anything, you combat global warming by banning the damned beef, if not, you raise the price tenfold. Shitty business indeed, if your cows are causing as much greenhouse gasses as, say... Exxon?! By the way, why are WE always the ones who have to show commitment to preventing climate change... What changes has McDonalds made? McDonalds is the damned cause of the problem, certainly not the effin solution! McDonalds is the epitome of the Western pollution based on the sickening logic that producing/consuming ever more is somehow the goal in life. Screw burgers and screw McDonalds for messing up the world like they did.

Ban beef? You whining liberals can't even ban tobacco: all you do is complain and increase tax on it.

Brilliant a burger tax. Maybe McDonalds can sell enough greaseburgers to pay for the stupid war.

I'm also very sick of seeing their trash thrown out of cars and littering our highways and roads. Why is it fast food junkies (not just McDonalds) only do drive up windows AND then just toss their DAMN GARBAGE anywhere they finish stuffing their faces!!!

No one has ever given Ray Kroc, founder of McDonald's, the honour that Sam Walton, founder of Wal-mart, gave him in his autobiography.

Ray Kroc developed the business model used by most retail companies worldwide. It is management from the top down with all wages and all decision micro-managed from the top.

The caste system is simple. All "real" executive management is headquartered and office at the main corporate office.

The Regional Manager or District Manager is responsible for the management of dozens of outlets. With the VP of Operations, he sets the budget, and creates the amount of hours and what salaries are paid to the "untouchables". This includes time off without pay during the middle of a shift.

If the regional or district manager is the real management in dozens of stores under their authority, what is the "general manager" of the local store? This title is disingenuous. It is for the customer to feel his complaints are heard by someone in authority. In reality, he cannot even order toilet paper without the real (RM or DM) approval.

Next, Kroc said that to ensure that everyone understood this, no assistant manager or supervisor could be hired by a "general manager" alone. The RM or DM hires ALL management in stores to assure no collusion between the two or more "on site supervisors" with empty titles.

Then the untouchables. The countless workers who are hired from the student population and adult underclass. No rights, no benefits, and total exploitation.

Walton thought that Kroc was a genius . I know of no mall stores or other national chains that do not use this model exclusively.

I always wondered where the phrase 'Kroc of shit' came from. Now I know. Thanks Crozier.

Wassa matter pookie? Didn't you get that promised promotion to Assistant Evening Manager at McDonalds?

Someday you may get a real job and join those of us who contribute to global warming with our fast cars and motor homes.

Of course if you don't want to do that you can move to a country more of your liking: one that treats its workers with dignity and respect; like Cuba or China.

Go ahead, pookie. Move on.
