God bless creative activism

Why hello there, Ronald Anti-McDonald!

This Ronald McDonald was in no mood to clown around. Diners at a crowded McDonald's in southern Norway were stunned when a man dressed as Ronald came in Thursday and launched into a tirade criticizing the Oak Brook, Ill.-based chain's policies, the outlet's owner said.

I think one of the witnesses delivers the best line, though.

"He was screaming and yelling. It was very unpleasant," said Alf Floernes, owner of the restaurant in the southern town of Kristiansand. "It was supposedly some sort of art. If that is art, I'm a truck."

If that is art, I'm a truck. Sounds like somebody's been eating at McDonald's too much, it's starting to effect his brain.
