I had this dream. Ronald McDonald was doing this bizarre type of Telethon. I was there as well. He appeared to be conducting some sort of countdown. There was a clock and the hands would move when a fast food company sold x amount of burgers. He said stuff like "McDonalds has just sold 10 billion burgers." or "Burger King just hit 2 billion." The counter kept getting higher and higher. Someone hit 7000 but I can't remember who. Ronald seemed so sad. He was sad because he realized that he would never die. As the counter kept climbing, he resided himself to a desk and almost sobbing, "I'm never going to die." He seemed so tired. He began telling me about how he was pissed about living for ever and was planning on undermining McDonald's from the inside. A screen appeared. There were three symbols that were all the same. There was an imaginary grid on the screen like when one plays x's and o's. The symbol was a red square with what appeared to be a yellow fried egg on it. These symbols would appear on the screen always changing positions within the imaginary grid. There was always three of them. Ronald explained how this was going to change McDonald's and how it would end it. Forever.

You could do a series of flyers, possibly in comics form, showing ronald mcdonald turning around and biting the corporate hand that feeds him. Blowing up his own restaurants and spouting anarchist rhetoric. Re-interpret him as a carnivalesque ya basta type figure. See if it's possible to actually change the way people think of him, so McD's find themselves with this newly transformed symbol of anarchy for their logo, and they can't do anything about it.

Insane unworkable ravings? or the future of memetic terrorism? you decide.

R Mc D is certainly the ugliest, most badly drawn, weakest cartoon character to put a $50 billion advertising campaighn behind. He's a truly awful piece of design. Surreal in its ugliness, disturbing to children, totally unappealing. It only takes a squint to see Pennywise...

i think that was tried before.

no reason why it shouldn't be tried again, though.

Coincidencially enough Im currently working on a CM ritual using Happy Meal boxes. So far its been amusing becasue I dont eat at McDonalds (I refuse to eat at anyplace who's commercial I find insulting to my intellect (its been almost 8 years) so i've had to got to various places and tell them "I need happy meal boxes and I dont want to pay for them". The looks on their faces is priceless. I had one frightened person ask if I was holding them up. LOL. Half of CM is in the preparation. hmmm maybe next itll be that booger kings kids crown..the possiblities are staggering!!..
