That's just stupid for McD to sue one man.

You can't sue a critic for a bad review. His words are based on his personal opinion. Opinion is NOT fact. If critics could be sued, then there would be no movie critics. Every movie would receive rave reviews and no one would call them the crap they are when they are crap.

On a different note, I think it's nice to sit down at a table and have a waiter or waitress to come up and offer me a menu. And then the food to be nice. In truth, it's only a couple of dollars more at some places.
I will not abide ignorant intolerance just for the sake of getting along.

Mc Donalds attempt to "move with the times" of competing hamburger joints is purely cosmetic as well. Sure, they have a nice new menu, but the content of the burgers hasn't changed an inch. I guess lots of people will be fooled by the new image they are trying to create and may be pursuaded that Maccas has changed, but there's no fooling people like me who see a Premium Mac as a half-sized Big-Mac that costs even more.

I think the bun of the hamburger is rubber too, and the cheese is actually plastic, the mayonaisse is glue, the lettuce is grass, the meat is .... well let's just not go there.

Every movie would receive rave reviews and no one would call them the crap they are when they are crap.


Sounds like the Japanese reaction to every single Hollywood movie!

My sempai, Don Morton, the movie reviewer Metropolis has bemoaned that problem many times. Basically, a negative review is "rude" in Japanese and shows the reviewer as being classless boar.

Hey, as a formerly-legally-dead-and-have-my-death-certificate-to-prove-it kind of guy, I gotta love the entire quote about the movie "Dragonfly"...

Near-death experiences and all that. It's the kind of movie you want to bitch-slap. Directed by Tom Shadyac, the guy who perpetrated Ace Ventura and Patch Adams, and that should be shouting a warning to you. The message to me was, "Move toward the light." The green and white one with the little running man over the exit door.

That guy's reviews crack me up. He goes on these rants which would rival a drag queen's.
