Chinese authorities ‘arrest’ Ronald McDonald statue
Chinese authorities weren’t lovin’ Ronald McDonald this week, hauling away a statue of the clown that was blocking sidewalk foot traffic.
Uniformed code enforcement officers in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou ripped the Ronald McDonald figure off its base, leaving only his big red shoes behind, as shoppers in the Huadu District of commerce hub Guangzhou looked on in amazement Sunday.
The city had been warning operators of this McDonald’s that its statue was hindering pedestrian traffic, according to state organ the People’s Daily.
“We’ve asked them to remove the Ronald McDonald statue from the sidewalk several times but they have refused to operate,” a city official said. “If the McDonald’s staff admit their violation and accept the punishment, they can have their statue back.”

Wow ... this clown appears to be an international criminal. He seems to get arrested by a variety of police agencies worldwide ...
Have no fear ... the US State Department has sent a highly trained diplomat to negotiate with Chinese officials on behalf of the imprisoned American icon.
Ah, good ol’ Hot Dog on a Stick! Those people deserve 15 bucks an hour for wearing that outfit.
Hamburglar wins ... PING
” Jobs For Junk Food Statues” ?
This clown sells “food” that causes me to instantly suffer barfing attacks. It’s beautiful to see him getting his just deserts. Smile smile smile
Went deer hunting on county land once. In the specified parking area a Ronald McDonald was sitting in the brush. Some kids probably swiped it and dumped it there.
Took THREE Chinese to arrest Ronald McDonald.
That Ronnie must be one tough son of bitch.
This sounds like the code enforcement Nazi’s in my small Georgia town....
China’s version of sign regulations?
Oh poor delicate you. I could live on McDonalds if I had to. That’s more than can be said for many fooferaw fancy dining establishments.
whatever happened to this @#$@#$ing dingbat? Senior relations officer now?
They should put up a plaque by the shoes, saying "Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!"
I already do :)
30 years of eating awful and still ticking!
the metaphorical question is if I get sick at, say 70, after enjoying 43 years of food I like three times a day, was it worth it?
yes!

I said I could, not that I did, or that I’d even prefer it. I might cheat and go to Wendy’s now and then. They used to have a pretty good salad bar, if sloppily kept.
Apparently, that was a 29-year-old (thinner) Willard Scott.

You may have my Big Macs, whatever’s my share under obama’s next. free-feed-for-the-sheeple program. I don’t buy any myself ( it’s interesting tho. I can eat other brand burgers - plus I used to be able to digest mcD’s too! I think therefore that they’ve changed somehow. Maybe a new chemical additive? It’s like an allergic reaction-—??)
I thought it was liberals who were delicate by nature.
If they were so delicate we wouldn’t be afflicted with so d many of them.
