The Yes Men have struck again. This time, they pretended to be McDonald's execs giving a PowerPoint presentation on how McDonald's policies are causing global warming. Boing Boing has a bunch of links to various stories about it.

In other news, while reading about this, we've discovered this incredibly addicting game wherein one tries to run McDonald's from the ground up. While it hasn't proved to us that McDonald's is evil, it's done a pretty good job persuading us that we are not smart enough to run a multinational company.
