Paris Raises $42 million to keep out McDonald's and other Pop Ilk

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

I support the idea of preserving local culture and yet I am disappointed that these measures have to be taken against these "corporations".

Unfortunately corporate suit types only interested in scalabilty sully the local swimming pool with their cut and paste marketing approach. So what if they only serve chicken at McDonald's in India??!!That's not localisation, it feels like brand positioning to me. Besides, it's probably Lilliputan chicken shipped and preserved using some weird cryogenic technology.

I wish the rest of the world will assess what they are losing in the name of progress and send these dogs to obedience school.

PS: I like Starbucks but they didn't invent coffee. My body hates McDonald's and that's a fact.

PSS: I like the word Lilliput. It's quite dynamic and outrageous like Prince
