  2. I was going to say that's a nice looking Mackers! Well, it's still nice looking, whatever it is.

  3. Oh dear! I'd recognize those golden arches anywhere! (And I fear they may be just about everywhere!)

  6. You know, we have so many better other things to transport to other countries. I think that those signs mar the landscape! the building would be far more attractive without those signs!

  7. This is a juxtaposition: the ads are far from the building, on the other side of the street. You need to stretch yourself a bit to see them like this.
    These panel are a railing of sort for the pedestrian zone and are available to any advertiser. There is much worse around than McDonald's logo...
