      The subway sign is not the sign of the restaurant chain, it is a new york city train station.

    AND IF SHE RESEMBLES MAMO, It could be Mamo herself trying to show all you that she’s looking over Dca. And all this political aggravation and disruption that dividing the country NEEDS TO STOP!

    i couldn’t have prepared the flag better for the pic… since it was busy… that’s ronald mcdonald from the great Mcdonald’s franchise… when the last time anyone ever seen ronald holding a foreign flag in a natural photo like this… the McD’s people were there and they said like “hey ronald we running on time here… let’s go buddy” so i handed ronald the flag for a quick pic… knowing pretty well what i intended it for… i seized for opportunity to have one of the greatest marketing figures to hold up the d/can flag…. and blogger 767 said “It’s obvious that it is someone painted as RONALD McDonald” duuuhhhh… isn’t it always someone who’s painted… the point is it wasn’t no random someone… this was the west indian parade in brooklyn and the mcdonald company does its due representation in ‘support’ of caribbean/black culture since we all know… our demographic supports or patronize this establishment more than any other in relation to population size/ratio…. now how can i get mickey mouse to do the same… lol….

      Free advertising for one of the biggest franchises in the world is just what McDonalds needs.

      I agree with you that McDonalds is a “great” franchise. It’s right up there with the Great Chicago fire, the Great plague and the Great depression.

    You know what I love about McDonalds? How they cheapen our cultural identity by using focus groups to target ethnic stereotypes.

    Holding the flag upside down is an insult to Dominica and Dominicans.

    Abandoning their last two shi**y marketing campaigns, McDonald’s no longer loves to see you smile, and instead, would love for us to cut the bullsh** and buy a Big Mac (especially now since the company posted its first ever loss of $231 million last year). That is, if you happen to fit the demographic of their new marketing campaign.

    i’m lovin’ it

    NICE PIC
    It’s obvious that it is someone painted as RONALD McDonald..

    But it would be so good if this fast food joint was in Dominica. I love me so McDonald. (sorry to the haters of junk food).

    • ah ha..

    I’m looking at this photo, with so much bright and wonderful colours, but for some sweet reason my eyes are shifting away from all the colours and are focussing on the gorgeous girl on the right with such a sweet wonderful smile and juicy lips, good for kissing. Who is that stunning young woman
