More McRevisionism

Well, having looked through the McDonald's website, the latest target of their cosmetic approach appears to be the Gaelic/Irish legends.

Try http://www.mcdonalds.com/mcdonaldland/whatsnew/happy_meal/index.html for their clean and sanitized view of history.

Or try http://www.serve.com/AOHD17/irishhist.html if you prefer the truth.

You have to wonder what McDonald's will do when they start to run out of mythologies vaguely relevant to the major ethnic groups in the US.

I can't see them really plundering the Mahabharata...

I posted this to the McD's room, but have repeated it here for Lark's benefit; I know he'll find this one interesting..."The Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog"... I *ask* you, they can't even *spell* it correctly (though it may have been deliberate so that they could trademark it).
