What in the hell??! I have never heard of such a weird, stupid name for a restaurant.
Sounds like a chain headed by Hannibal and Jeffrey instead of Ben and Jerry.
Naturally, it would cost an arm and a leg to eat there.

Egypt: McDonald's to change name due to anti-U.S./Israeli sentiments
McDonald's reportedly will change the name of its fast food restaurants in Egypt to Manfoods due to increased anti-U.S. and Israeli sentiment in the country.
I don't expect that the Americans had a say in it, and if this helps the Egyptian owners then Egyptians are even dumber than I thought.
"Hellooooooooo. I am Hannibal Lechter. I will be your server this evening.
Our special tonight is liver with fava beans and a nice chianti.
Sort of a personal jihad?
Oh, I HOPE the "Corporate Weenies" @ McDonalds have enough sense to "Hold the Line!!"
There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY they can retain an American Clientelle if they capitulate to representatives of the culture which celebrated the murder of our fellow Citizens!
The Spineless Corporate Neuters who attempt to "Prostitute" an American Institution to the Culture which generated the amoral Murderers of Americans would be seen as "enablers" of said culture.
Absent a STRONG, UNEQUIVOCAL affirmation of it's American Values, "MacDonalds" is worthless "Post-9/11" Corporate debris!!

Well, didn't we hear that Egyptian Terrorist Mohammad Atta was gay? Perhaps that's the demographic they're looking for. having said that, several more ideas along that train of thought come to mind, but I'm afraid this thread will get pulled if I say what they are...
How about "McCamel" Those spineless wimps...no wonder I do not patronise them(their food test like shoesole anyway), go Whopper.
