Default The CLOWN goes Down...
...but not out.

More and more U.S./world cultural icon McDonaldfs has been under assault for it`s unhealthy food, often being singled out and blamed for a host of medical problems linked to obesity. Being picked on by recent films and books detailing the harm McDonaldfs has done is enough to make a clown cry -- so much in fact, that in recent days itfs stock has fallen 53 cents from $34.85 to $34.32.

Perhaps the clown should cheer himself up by eating a eHappy Setf -- a meal borne of pain and misery to millions factory farmed animals and the obese people whose arteries are clogged with gunk from the product they demand, bereft of all intelligent and critical thought on what they cram into their bodies.

Now McDonaldfs is trying to add some of that clown make-up to itfs image by offering healthier alternatives. However, after four years of promising to switch the oil in their fryer for french fries -- that has promise has yet to be realised.

But, they just may do something this time. Now they are bracing for another hard hitting book critical of their practices. This month gChew On This,h written by Eric Schlosser, is due out. This comes on the heels of his previous successful book gFast Food Nation.h Between those two books and last years hit documentary gSupersize Me,h Mcdonaldfs finds it no longer possible to ignore criticism levelled directly at them.

Their mantra, gIt`s all about personal choices,h isn`t even wholey believed by them anymore. After fighting law suits and trying to stave off others, they have come to realize they do have a responsibility to do much better.

But don`t be deceived. The McdEvil exists on a corner near you. Just **** your head a little to the side and then you will recognize it -- the sign of the corporate beast:
