No. The world shouldn't be one homogeneous blob.

As it surely would be if the US had Labor Day on May 1st.

Its hyperbole, and a more of a death by a thousand paper cuts. I can go to every large western city (and many non-western ones) in the world and find McDonalds.

I think thats atrocious.

I was in Sweden for work some time ago, and we walked past a McDonald's advertisement. It was for a Mexican Burger.

My boss was Japanese, so we were on our way to a sushi restaurant.
