Despite revealing their secret sauce recipe, http://www.hlntv.com/article/2012/07/11/mcdonalds-secret-sauce-recipe-executive-chef?hpt=hln10_2 McD's still has privacy fears: http://news.yahoo.com/mcdonalds-digital-specs-prompt-privacy-fears-143001375.html

Personally, that dude's creepy grin gives me the willies and I wouldn't want him looking at me with any gadgetry. I'm glad Ronald gave him the (big clown) boot. But they'll catch some heat for it, as every rights group comes rushing to "aid" him.

    They probably thought he was wearing some kind of UV fecal fluorescence scanner.

    Gads, no wonder they freaked out.

    When did it become "secret"?
    In the commercials it was only "special" - it's the Colonel with the secret recipe.

    [Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun.]
    Or was it "pickle" and "onion"?
    Anyway.

    'Wouldn't think of wearing high-tech glasses there. Um ... actually, 'wouldn't think of going there at all.

    Ponder this: a tourist visiting France, surrounded by some of the finest cuisine the world has to offer, eating at McDonalds. He should have been arrested for bad taste and deported.

    Not exactly. I was there about a year ago (walked right by that exact McDonalds) and when I needed a quick meal tried eating at McDonalds in Paris. They are NOT the same over there. I avoid the ones in the US but the ones over in France are actually good. I was surprised. If they served the same food here in the US then they would have a lot more people eating there.

    It may not be as the normal restaurants in France but it was way better then their US versions.....

    Been there many times, PhiPi. It's actually quite fun to munch on McD's FRENCH fries as you stroll along the Champs Elysees, plus it gives your wallet a break from $40 meals at Parisian cafes.

    He was stopped when he tried to go into the bathroom with them.

    When someone is breaking the law you do not need an "excuse" to touch them. The law says "No cameras in bathrooms" it doesn't matter if they are recording or not.

    When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.

    You can play "What if" all day. The point is that the man was NOT handicapped. And it was NOT an implant.. "What if" it did record and he went into the bathroom and recorded images of little boys. (This happened in a Wal-mart recently).

    Sorry to hear about your disablities, but my rights trump your disablity.

    Yeah, and I bet you don't "judge" people who are not handicapped and park in the handicapped spot.
    The problem today is that people don't judge. All the people on welfare and "disablity" that are perfectly capable of working, but why should they ? Nobody dares to judge them.
    Why do punk kids tourment old ladies (who are school bus monitors) ? Because nobody dares to "judge" them.
    Why do so many teens have sex and get pregnant and end up on welfare ? Because nobody dares to "judge" them.
    All evil needs to succeed, is for good people to not dare "judge" evil doers.
