This photo got a lot of views on Flickr so let's give it a shot here. There is something I find morbidly fascinating about Ronald McDonald, colorful and cheerful, purveyor of of Happy Meals that, if consumed regularly, will one day make children unhappy. He dresses in tones of catsup, mustard and (you pick) milk or sugar. And the appeal is pan-cultural: years ago I was sitting in a taxi in Cairo in huge traffic jam. It was the Muslim holy month and sunset was near. I looked to the side and saw a McDonald's with a sign in the window, written in Arabic and English, that said FREE RAMADAN LANTERN WITH EVERY HAPPY MEAL.
It's a great world we live in.

Maybe we should have Ronald busted as a public nuisance by these officers on Downtown St. Louis 365.
