Ronald McDonald is Movin' on Up

0804ronaldmchipster.jpg

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...".

View the full shot after the jump.

That's not a luxury rooftop.

So THAT's where he lives!

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!

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.

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?

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

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...

germany has a lot of perverse things and people.

i wish i had that apartment.

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

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