Their famous golden arch trademark . I wonder if it had anything to do with it being turned upside down to represent Bush as a coward ?

1. Seriously? That sounds about as smart as New Coke.
My son could recognize McDonalds when he could barely talk. I was appalled, but still, if it ain't broke...

3. It's true .
Though I don't know why they have decided to change it , as it is one of the most instantly recognisable things , along with Coca Cola and a Christian Cross . The newsreader finished off by saying that they are going to have a golden question mark , but I think he was was being ironic .

2. That seems kind of dumb
Why would they do that?

5. First they got rid of the plastic spoon coffee-stirrers, now this!
I rarely eat there-the only lunch/dinner I like is the McFish. I do love Egg McMuffins, as unhealthy as they are. I rarely eat them, because I'm not up for eating greasy food early in the morning and they don't serve them at lunch time.
