Keepin’ it classy, a hallmark of the left..
(Daily Mail)– Campaigners for ethically-produced food provoked fury today by releasing an Al Qaeda-style spoof video in which they are seen holding Ronald McDonald hostage.
Five members of the Finnish group, who call themselves the Food Liberation Army, are seen in black balaclavas with the fictional McDonald’s figurehead distinctive in the foreground, despite wearing a hood.
The spokesperson threatens to execute the character if the fast food chain refuses to answer questions about how it produces its products.
McDonalds told MailOnline today that the stunt was irresponsible and ‘in very poor taste’. It also denied the campaign group’s suggestion that it was attempting to hide details about its food quality and manufacturing processes.
The video sees the FLA demand that McDonalds release information about its manufacturing process, and the additives used in its product.
The campaign group also asks why McDonalds will not release figures detailing how much unrecycled waste it produces each year.
I’m sure the families of Nick Berg, Eugene Armstrong and the other victims of al-Qaeda aren’t amused.
