Ronald McDonald is Movin' on Up

A McDonald's on the corner of 56th and 8th in Manhattan is missing a Ronald -- but an aerial view of the area shows him safe and sound lounging on a private rooftop. Williamsboard posters report, "someone who lives in the six-story building next door took advantage of a second floor window that lets them out onto the McDonald's roof...".

Wow, if only we could use this laserlight search team to go look for bin Laden...

Prime rooftop space, and it looks like a white-trash redneck patio, including an old lamp. I'm confiscating that apartment right now....

germany has a lot of perverse things and people.

I'd like to see a steel cage match between the

Burger king and Ronald. Mickey D would get the living shyte knocked outta his ass.

I like the darker side of the BK you see over in Berlin...

big deal. The Burger King lives in a sex dungeon. You know that's how that creepy bastard rolls.

I was just wondering how the people in the building

above "the ronald" restaurant sleep with all those

a/c units and commercial ventilators on the lower roof along side

their windows on the lower floors?

True story: I had 2 friends in college who stole a Ronald McDonald out of a children's hospital and stupidly displayed it in the front window of their house. Unfortunately they got caught before they were able to tap a keg between his legs. The guys spent 2 nights in jail and they are still referred to as the Hamburglars.

That's definitely one of the creepier McDonald's I've been to - you'll notice Ronald is in the sitting position...in the actual McD's where he normally presides, he's playing a piano (which I guess has some automatic motor thingie)...it's definitely weird. I guess old Ron got sick of playing the same damned song day in and day out and decided to take a ciggy break on the roof!
