Hey, get screwed!! I love McDonalds once in a while. And nobody is pushing you fat folks into their doors. And you horrible looking fat people should just stop eating so much. And you take up too much space in our public transportation facilities anyway.

I guess they really do want fries with that.

Can't any Icelander industry supply McDonald's or do they not want them finding out what the recipe is for the special sauce?

They're sick of eating whale blubber all the time.
If Mc. Dnlds would charge more to make it worth while, they seem to have a good market for the food there. Or maybe if the residents of Iceland could somehow make greenhouses to help offset the cost of importing. Maybe time for them to step it up if they want to eat fastfood.

They need Mickey D's really since people who live in cold climates burn far more calories than those who live in hot climates.

Makes me wonder about the quality and quantity of eating establishments in Iceland, considering that they're mobbing Mickey D's.

I thought they raise a lot of beef in Iceland. Other than beef, mustard, ketchup, and pickles, what else is on a McHamburger?

Three stores, all this fuss over three McDonalds?

The real story is that Icelands economy is in big trouble.

"Iceland's economy will contract 9.1 percent in 2009 as household spending falls 19.7 percent and investment slumps 48.4 percent"

How is a big debt, big deficit, weak currency, and universal healthcare working for them?

Daily Horoscope for December 5

Virgo

Home is where your heart is, so stay there today if you can. Surround yourself with your loved ones, even if you're all slumped on the sofa in front of the TV. If you love cooking, you'll get sweet satisfaction from shutting yourself in the kitchen, and either producing a delicious meal or creating some Christmas food that can live in the freezer till you need it.
