How to Fail at Jihad: With Added Fries


As if it didn't sound obvious enough, here is some advice for all the artists and activists out there: Kidnapping and Beheading a Ronald McDonald Statue Can Get You Arrested.

A group of artists kidnapped a statue of the famous icon and staged a spoof Al Qaeda-style hostage YouTube video. They demanded that McDonald's answer questions on how it produces their food. If the questions were not answered, Ronald McDonald would be executed. 

Lets face it, they were bound to be caught. Two of the artists were arrested by Finnish police, but as any good student knows, that doesn't mean the end. McDonald's refused to answer the questions. In a statement from the fast food chain, they said that this was a stunt in poor taste that was "not a responsible approach to meaningful dialogue". 


Viva Burger King!

So the group "executed" a replica version of the kidnapped Ronald McDonald statue. They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. The group set out with good intentions but alas, check out the video and make a choice for yourself.


The execution.
