McDonald's corporation is engaged in a battle, defending their good name and brand. Their evil enemy is... The Oxford English Dictionary.
As a matter of fact, after a well-known writer Douglas Coupland has written his book , the word "McJob" has become part of the English language. The 11th edition of Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, defines a "McJob" as "a low-paying job that requires little skill and provides little opportunity for advancement." "McJob" is similarly defined in the Oxford English Dictionary and Webster's Dictionary, published by Random House.
McDonald's CEOs have decided that this definition antiadvertises their corporation, so they have launched a petition claiming to change the McJob article into something more euphonic, as they think it reflects what happens in McDonald's nowadays.
We might soon see a beer company sueing Clint Eastwood for shooting beer bottles in a movie.
