Ah yes, globalization.

That's the thing that makes people like Ronald McDonald forsake the societal norms of his homeland and embrace the local customs and religion of foreign lands. Here he is in Bangkok, for example, offering a traditional greeting to all his Thai buddies.

I don't know about you, but personally I'm a bit freaked out by this. Perhaps it's the semi-psycho look on his face. Or simply because it causes a nostalgic disconnect in my brain; Hey! I thought Ronald was American!

Well, it's a global village folks, and sometimes one must act like the chameleon if they want to corner the burger market in some far off land.

Congrats go out to Sarah and Michael who took a break from their Harry Potter marathon to snap this great shot.
