What does Mona Lisa have to do with horror? Well hold on because I am dragging out my soap box and readying myself for a tirade. Recently in the newspaper was a small blurb about McDonalds and Mona Lisa becoming neighbors. Now, we'll stop right there for a second. Mona Lisa, one of the most recognized paintings in the world, is the most popular attraction in the Louvre. She sits contently in her bullet proof box while people travel thousands of miles just to gaze upon this simple but powerful painting.
On the COMPLETELY opposite end of the spectrum, differing radically, diametrically opposed is...cough, sputter...McDonalds. What does his culture dictating, obesity promoting, toxic food creating empire have to do with the beloved Mona Lisa?
Apparently McDonald's restaurant will hang it's shingle in the shadow of the Louvre. In the Carrousel du Louvre the fast food chain will set up shop. After reading this I hung my head in utter disappointment and disillusionment. I know, the steaming forward monster known as McDonalds is unstoppable but the LOUVRE? Clearly nothing is sacred any more. Nothing.
I know if Mona Lisa read that article she'd wrinkle her nose and shake her head in disappointment right along with me.
